Hi, that is correct, there is not a native way for handling gift cards like you suggested. The simplest work around is to use coupons but let me think about this a bit

Thanks @vagrant kernel . I think the coupon would work if the gift cards were standardized, but if the customer gets to choose the amount, I am not sure that it works as well. Appreciate any insights into how to best approach this.

Yeah, the more I think about this the Coupon approach would work. You can create a product, https://stripe.com/docs/products-prices/how-products-and-prices-work for that gift card. Sell that to your customers. Then, create a coupon, https://stripe.com/docs/api/coupons/create. The person who recieved this can later use this coupon at your store.

Stripe Issuing, https://stripe.com/en-gb-us/issuing is not what you're looking for as this is designed for Connect Accounts and not end consumers.

Got it. So create a product where the customer gets to choose the price. The customer chooses that product and enters the amount to pay, along with contact details of the recipient. I think create a coupon after that checkout session and send the coupon to the recipient. When the recipient comes to the website, they can enter in the coupon code that they received in the email. I then delete the coupon from my database. That sound like the general flow?
