Gift Card API 404 Not Found Error

[NicoM]

I'm trying to create gift cards using the /admin/api/2021-10/gift_cards.json endpoint, however I keep getting a 404 not found error. I understand that it's a Shopify Plus store feature, however I'm using a development store at the moment to test the feature out which I believe is allowed. Besides that i've already activated gift cards in admin but the error remains the same. I'm using a private app that has gift card read and write permissions.

Any help is much appreciated!

The Gift Cards API isn't activated by default. Assuming you're eligible for access you'd need to ask for it to be activated on Shopify side. Start with a convo with the support team if you don't have an assigned contact point.

It would be highly appreciated if you could add this info to the Gift Cards API docs. There's no mention of this process there and I have put a lot of effort into understanding why I'm getting this 404 response until I found this thread.
