Retail hardware, software, and Shopify Point of Sale
I just made an order for physical gift cards from Shopify, and I am finding the documentation and user interface less than transparent.
My first question: How do I sell a custom physcal gift card from the POS app, so it issues the gift card in the chosen amount, links it to the code on the physical card, and associates it with the customer?
(This seems like the primary use case of physical cards, so I'm surprised I can't find a simple way to do this.)
Please no responses suggesting apps. If a fairly technical user can't do this out of the box, the gift card functionality isn't a minimum viable product let alone competetive.

This is an accepted solution.
If you've not already got this working, one thing to maybe check (in the POS app) is under Settings/Gift Cards that you have "Issue digital or physical gift cards" checked. If you don't have this selected, then POS will default to a digital gift card and generate its own code automatically.
I just tried this. I was never prompted to scan a gift card, input the code, or add an email address. The POS let me complete the sale with no gift card associated.
