Unless you're able to find an official Valve link to where they wholesale gift cards or digital codes for them it's probably best to contact official support and ask them this question. These are community forums, not official support if you didn't know that.

On the Wallet Code Scam page:

It says about retailers having to activate the code when a card is purchased. That may or may not be something that automatically happens when it's purchased which is one of many reasons you should insure you get legitimate info and answers on this subject. The way to do that is to submit a support ticket to official steam support at the 2nd link.
I have a small business and an online store and for some reason never considered selling Steam cards or codes so I'm going to look in to it myself.
This is strictly a non-profit venture and the terminals that facilitate this are not cheap to rent and can only be integrated into certain POS's. You will need an established business and then a relationship with Valve at the very least.
Misinformation, incorrect.
Valve isn't a charity organization they're a for-profit company. It costs them money to make the cards and they surely acquire profits from other developers selling their products on the Steam Store or they (Valve) wouldn't be doing it, they'd only be selling their own products.
Steam Cards are in just about every store I've ever gone in to. NO business owner sells anything they don't make a profit on. Valve would be digging them selves into a very deep financial hole if they didn't profit from gift card and product sales.
Even "non-profit" businesses and organizations have overhead and actually do make a profit. People that think non-profit organizations give every penny donated to the cause are horribly mistaken.
The physical cards are also worthless until activation upon the tendering of money and Valve provides this to retailers because SHOCK HORROR they want people to buy games on Steam.
Valve will only work with select retailers who are either established or have the required universal terminal. Businesses provide services to get customers in the door - it’s not just a clear profit on each product. Newsagents make about 40p profit on a carton of ♥♥♥♥ costing £50 at wholesale each - you really think they’d outlay that much for a 40p profit? No, it’s a service.
Top up features are included with mobile plans that offer that service. It's covered by the cost the consumer pays to the provider for their service.
Yes, even if the profit is "40p" (whatever that is, pounds? Not my currency.) 40p is profit. Anything that brings any amount of profit is worth doing. Even if it's just a penny (a very small amount) of profit it's one more penny you didn't have before the sale. Make multiple sales that profit a penny? Those penny's add up...that's how selling stuff works.
No use arguing with someone like you. I'm unsubscribing.
You're wrong.
Take care!
Incredible ignorance and unsubbing is just pathetic behaviour when you know you’re beat
The " dont bother answering , i unsubscribe" is the internet discussion equivalent of this:
