- According to the European Anti-Money-Laundering Directive (ALM5), the maximum allowed amount for open loop gift card (a gift card from an issuer that several independent (online) merchants/retailers accept for purchases) transactions is 50€.
- No action from your side is required to ensure you comply to this rule.
- The following message is displayed on the payment page after your customers select this payment method: “Because of regulatory reasons, the charge of your giftcard is limited to 50 EUR per purchase, please use your bank card to cover the remaining amount for your purchase”. They will have to choose on the payment page an amount of up to 50€ to pay by gift card.
- As usual, your customers will then pay any remaining amount not covered by the gift card with their credit card as before.
Process flows
- Your customers finalse an order in your shop and select Illicado.

a. Provided your customers have a Visa/MasterCard, your customers stay on the Thunes payment page where they enter their card credentials. Thunes calculates the amount to pay automatically.
b. You initiate a second transaction on your own. For this, you need to calculate the remaining amount by yourself. You may choose any payment method available in your account. - We receive the transaction result.
- We redirect your customer to your returnUrl
- You request the transaction result from our platform via GetHostedCheckout or receive the result via webhooks.
- If the transaction was successful, you can deliver the goods / services.
