You can now sell eGift Cards from your Square Point of Sale

[#1]

We are excited to launch our newest feature: Selling eGift Cards right from your Point of Sale! 

We heard feedback from many sellers that they want to be able to sell eGift Cards directly from the Point of Sale App so their customers can purchase digital gift cards at their store and not worry about plastic gift cards. Today we are releasing that feature for iOS devices. There will be a rollout over the next week, so keep an eye out for this feature:
