Store credit tracking is messy for resale businesses because credit needs to be tied back to specific items or vendors, not just a balance, and manual spreadsheets are required to reconcile with the POS.

Square gift cards only track a simple balance, not linked to items/vendors, forcing manual spreadsheet reconciliation for returns, trade-ins, and partial redemptions.
