Similar to the Storefront API, you will need to generate a Shop Identifier and Access Token before using the Admin API.

In Givy, go to Settings > API Access, enable the Admin API, then save the page. This will generate a Shop Identifier if one doesn't already exist, and an Access Token for the Admin API.

Create Gift Card

The create gift endpoint makes it possible to create a new gift card in Givy, which will automatically generate a gift card in your Shopify admin.

The create endpoint uses the following format:

Type: POST
URL: https://api.givy.ai/admin/v1/shops/<shop-id>/gifts
Authorization: Bearer <token>

<shop-id> = the Shop Identifier from Givy
Use the Admin API Access token as your bearer token

The body of this request should be in the following format:

{
  "gift_card": {
    "balance": "123.00",
    "currency": "USD",
    "expiry_date": "yyyy-mm-dd",
    "code": "sdfa78sd"
  }
}
