Totally understandable. Thanks for trying!
GreekChat isn't involved at all in the transaction processing part.
The crowd funding site being used for this is BuyMeACoffee.com which is similar to GoFundMe, GiveSendGo, etc. Probably even more similar to Patreon as Buy Me A Coffee seems to be geared towards enabling audiences to support creators. They host the crowd funding page for GC on their site at

BuyMeACoffee.com uses Stripe.com for all transaction processing and my understanding is that only Stripe handles the payment info. They are an official Stripe partner, listed at

I went with Buy Me A Coffee as the crowd funding platform for this as I've been seeing them being used more often over the past few years on many sites. They seem to be a very popular funding platform these days. Also because I noticed that the developer platform GitHub (a Microsoft company) just started using Buy Me A Coffee for their GitHub Sponsors funding program

Wasn't able to find any specific info about whether buymeacoffee.com has any issues with gift cards for payments, but I'll email their support contact to find out.
Thanks again for trying, though. Maybe we'll be able to figure out the issue with using gift cards soon.
