Can store credit primitive be used as a payment method?

Topic summary

Main issue: Whether the “store credit” primitive in a development store can be applied as a payment method at checkout.

Current context: The poster can issue store credit to a customer via Admin or GraphQL but cannot find any documentation on actually redeeming that credit during payment.

Key gaps/questions:

  • Is store credit supported as a payment method in development stores (and if so, under what conditions)?
  • What is the correct flow to apply customer credit at checkout (UI, API, or GraphQL)?
  • Are there specific endpoints, mutations, or settings required to enable redemption?

Status: No answers or references provided; no decisions or outcomes. The discussion remains open with unresolved documentation and implementation details.

Has anyone managed to use the store credit primitive of a development store as a payment method? The only thing I have been able to do is add store credit to a client either from the admin or from graphql, and I cannot find documentation to use store credit as a payment method
