REST API endpoint for gift-card-adjustment

Retired Boards Appdev Extensions

Topic summary

  • Problem: Calling the Shopify Admin REST gift card adjustment endpoint returns 404 “Not Found”, while creating and retrieving gift cards works.
  • Diagnosis: The required gift_card_adjustments access scope is not present alongside read_gift_cards/write_gift_cards in the app’s Admin API scopes.
  • Clarification: gift_card_adjustments is a separate permission (access scope) needed specifically to adjust gift card balances and is not enabled by default.
  • Resolution path: Shopify must manually enable this scope. The app owner needs to open a support interaction via the Partner Dashboard to request activation by internal partner support.
  • Status: No resolution yet in-thread; functionality should work after the scope is granted. Prior gift card API access had also required manual enablement.

Hi Liam,

I was also looking that but all I have available are these that I have already selected on Admin API scopes:

Gift cards / View or manage gift cards
write_gift_cards and read_gift_cards both selected

And I am not able to see that gift_card_adjustments access scope
