hi! it depends, what APIs do you use to accept payments right now?

ultimately Stripe is just a payment processor, you can tell us to charge any amount you wish, the concept of a gift card is more of something you might maintain in your own databases and use custom logic to decide how much to tell us to charge based on your customer's gift card balance and purchase.

payment intents api. we are a marketplace and we use connected accounts. we are trying to keep balancing like stuff out of our hands like we do with sensitive payment data.

so is there any way of having gift cards with stripe, besides the bulk discount thing. so 50$ paid, 50$ gift card value?

sure, like I said it's really not anything to do with Stripe. If you decide the customer is buying something worth $70 and in your database you maintain a balance of a $50 gift card that customer has, when you compute the amount to pass to the /v1/payment_intents API you compute 2000 usd to charge the $20
