How to set up a gift card only payment method in an employee internal tool shop?

Technical Q&A
1

Hi,

I’m trying to use Shopify as an internal tool shop for employees. I would like to do this by handing out Giftcards to my employees and let them use them in the shop to buy some products. I have the following challenge:

I would like my employees to only being able to pay with the giftcard and not with any other payment method → I can cover this by adding a custom payment method that needs no payment.

Yet when using the method above the customer/employee can actually complete the order without paying at all for the order, So I would like to be able to set a payment rule that the “Total” of the order needs to be 0 before the payment is possible. What would be the best way of doing this?

Thanks!

I’m coming across the same issue, there’s no way to prevent someone checking out with a manual payment method that exceeds the balance of a gift voucher code or store credits.

Is this still the case? I want to do the same thing.
