On july 1 st there was a great announcement that giftcard API now was available on other plans than PLUS. However the page as now been removed and documentation is not updated. What is status ?
https://shopify.dev/changelog/gift-cards-api-now-widely-available
Any update? It is present in the API documentation indeed: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/2023-10/resources/gift-card
Currently responds with a 403, {āerrorsā:āAccess deniedā}, read_gift_cards and write_gift_cards access scopes enabled
any updates on this?! iām also still getting āaccess deniedā as response in 2024 even though read_gift_cards and write_gift_cards access scopes enabled
I worked with Partner support to work this out for my scenario. There are 2 important things to know.
The storefront API is still only accessible to Plus merchants. The admin REST API is available to everyone.
The scopes āread_gift_cardsā and āwrite_gift_cardsā can be ticked when configuring the appā¦ however ā¦ Shopify support need to enable them to make them work. You will get a 403 Access Denied until they enable it for your app. There is also a separate API for adjusting the balance. If you need to do that you will also need that to be enabled. https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/2024-04/resources/gift-card-adjustment - it is not easy to find in the documentation but it is easy enough to use.
Hope this helps someone in the future.

Hi @gkennedy
When you say "Shopify support need to enable them to make them work. ", do you mean we need to raise a request some where to use them in our apps?
Could you kindly tell how to enable them to use pls?
