shopify-admin-gift-card-issuance
Purpose
Issues Shopify native gift cards to customers programmatically — as goodwill for a delayed shipment, as store credit instead of a cash refund, or as a loyalty reward. Uses Shopify's built-in gift card system; no 3rd-party app required. Gift cards issued here are redeemable at checkout exactly like manual gift cards. Note: giftCardCreate is available on all Shopify plans but may require the store to have gift cards enabled in settings.
Prerequisites
shopify auth login --store <domain>- API scopes:
read_customers,write_gift_cards - Gift cards must be enabled in Shopify admin → Settings → Gift cards
