How can you get a job you have no idea about.

Though Hilarious, is possible.

Sometimes your job description doesn't necessarily mean you know it all.

By the way I presume OP was interviewed to which He must have passed to have gotten the job.
... and some employers try cutting corners when hiring a position for anything computer related.

Maybe OP was not even hired for a computer position BUT only considered because there was a place in His / Her resume that preaches knowledge of handling computers.

What we don't know is

The answer to your question isn't straight forward hence I would suggest you give us a call via +234 09020325050 (Calls & WhatsApp) or get in touch with any developer you know as you might need such helps on regular basis.

What you're trying to accomplish though not very clear (even though I have my guesses) is doable.

Just picture Gift Cards like MTN recharge cards.
You make payment (Buy) to have access to the Card which contains a sequence of Random Numbers which you type into your Phone to make a recharge.

There's something somewhere which recognizes those Numbers you Type in - (I doubt you've handled this portion else you would know how to handle the Above)

generate a 128 bits int, have a table dedicated to to store those card with it price make sure the card column is marked as unique, when the person want to use it, call select * from table where card_pin = card, if it is on the table return the card and it price, use the card for what ever u want, maybe to increment int on another table then delete the card from the table else the card does not exist

if u Don't still understand then I can help u to write the code
