it's easier than that. If shopper A buys a GV, then uses the GV Send feature to send it to a friend B, the friend B will get the redeem code when B gets the e-mail about being the recipient of a wonderful gift cert. You don't have to do anything. B will then go to your store and redeem the GV by using the code, then B will have a GV balance. The only hitch is if B does the redeeming on page 2 of checkout. The next page will be page 3, and no GV funds are automatically applied (since a shopper may or may not want to use GV funds when redeeming GV certs), so if that happens, friend B, while sitting on page 3, would have to have the wherewithal to return to page 2 to enter the amount to apply. This is a common problem with landing someone on page 3 after redemption occurs on page 2. The Zen team may be looking at a better way of letting the page 3 customer know to go back to page 2, or you could code in a short note at the top of page 3 "if you want to spend GV funds you just redeemed, then go back to page 2" or something like that.
