Raise is a digital gift card marketplace and commerce platform. Raise for Business exposes the Raise Commerce API — a REST/JSON API that lets partners programmatically browse a catalog of retailer gift card brands, purchase fixed- and variable-load gift cards, check and manage card balances, and reconcile transactions and commissions across 180+ currencies and many countries. Authentication is OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens (server-to-server client credentials, plus app/web auth with SR25519/RSA key pairs, SMS, or TOTP). The API uses a JSON:API-style data envelope, page-based pagination, request metadata, and client_order_id idempotency. Prior investors include Accel, PayPal, and NEA.
