Gifty API.

Markdown

Welcome to the Gifty API documentation. This documentation provides you with all the necessary information to communicate with our API. If you want to use our API you must register your application via the Gifty dashboard.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. You can contact us via our contact page.

Introduction

The following section describes generic usage information on the Gifty API.

Authentication

Send the provided token as a header with your requests. You can create an API token on the developer's page in your dashboard.

Authorization: Bearer REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_PRIVATE_TOKEN

Error Handling

If there are validation issues or other unexpected events, an error will be thrown in the format shown below. Along with the request, a corresponding HTTP header is sent.

Code	Meaning
2XX	Successful request.
4XX	The request is invalid. For example, because the requested resource does not exist. These errors are expected and should be gracefully processed.
5XX	Ouch. Most likely, something went wrong on our end. We received a notification, but please get in touch with us with additional information about the issue.

Response

JSON

{
  "message": "The transaction tr_kOWB2x0QVvE8GYn6GX7p1oL9 has been captured or released already.",
  "errors": [
    {
      "id": "9fb1f6880a844a72b7fbd9bb5ee10d87",
      "status": "422",
      "type": "giftcard_transaction_error",
      "title": "Giftcard transaction error",
      "detail": "The transaction tr_kOWB2x0QVvE8GYn6GX7p1oL9 has been captured or released already."
    }
  ]
}

Localization

The API's validation error messages are available in both English and Dutch. The default language used is English. If you want Dutch validation errors, send the header below with your request.

Accept-Language: nl

Rate Limiting

The API is limited to 120 requests per minute. If you exceed this limit, access to the API will be temporarily disabled. Please get in touch with us if you think this limit does not meet your requirements.

Idempotency

Idempotency, in the context of APIs, means that if you (accidentally) send the same request multiple times, the result will be the same as if you sent it only once. This prevents issues like duplicate transactions or unintended changes to resources, like accidentally redeeming the same gift card more than once due to a networking error.

You can instruct the API to treat a request as idempotent by adding the X-Gifty-Idempotency-Key header to your request, along with a unique key as the value. We recommend using UUID version 4 as the value, but you can use any format that fits your needs, as long as it matches the criteria explained below.

Header	Description	Regex
X-Gifty-Idempotency-Key	The idempotency key for the request. Should have a maximum of 128 characters and consist of alphanumeric characters, dashes, and underscores.	`/^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,128}$/`

You may add this header to all your requests, but it will only be honoured for POST, PUT, and PATCH methods. If a request with the same idempotency key has already been processed in the past 24 hours, we will return the original response from the original request, without performing the operation again.

Pagination

For all responses that can return multiple objects, cursor pagination is available. You can send the cursor_before parameter to navigate through the pages on these requests. Use the limit parameter to set the number of results per page. You can use the ID of objects as the cursor.

If you need to become more familiar with cursor pagination, it might confuse you first. Cursor pagination is more efficient and predictable than offset pagination. Let's take a look at the example below. We paginate through the list of four locations, show two results per page and do not pass a cursor. So we see the two most recent results.

Now we want to navigate to the following result set to see location 2 and location 1. We pass the last known cursor lc_tOWRgGnbJs0pey3MfHPWjuge to parameter cursor_before.

Cursor pagination example

Currencies

While processing transactions on a gift card, you should provide the currency code of the gift card in the ISO 4217 format. The currencies listed in the table below are supported.

Code	Currency
EUR	Euro

Gift Cards

In most use cases, gift cards are the most important objects using the Gifty API. Gift cards represent a monetary value. You activate the card and add a balance by issuing a gift card (credit). Later, redeeming a gift card reduces the balance (debit).

The Gift Card object

Attribute	Type	Description
id	`string`	Unique identifier for the card.
balance	`integer`	The current balance of the card, in cents. A negative balance is not possible.
currency	`string`	ISO 4217 code of the currency. All transactions on this card are required to be made in the same currency.
promotional	`boolean`	True if the card is marked as promotional.
is_redeemable	`boolean`	Indicates if a new redeem transaction can be made on the card. This attribute is `false` if there is no balance left or if the card is expired.
is_issuable	`boolean`	Indicates if a new issue transaction can be made on the card. This attribute is `false` if there are transactions made on this card already.
is_extendable	`boolean`	Indicates if an expired gift card can be re-activated. This attribute is `false` if the gift card has not expired or if re-activation is not allowed.
expires_at	`string` or `null`	ISO 8601 time of expiration or null if the gift card won't expire.
created_at	`string`	ISO 8601 time of creation.
package	`string` or `null`	The corresponding package ID.
transactions		All corresponding transactions made on the card.
images		URLs to images that visualize the card.

External Orders

Through the External Orders API you are able to integrate online gift card sales sold outside of the Gifty order module, while still letting Gifty handle the fulfillment and management of the gift cards.

Integration flow

To place an order we suggest a standardised flow as described below.

Fetch Configuration: get available products, customizations, and shipping options
Build Order: customer selects products and provides required details
Preview Order: validate and calculate final pricing
Process Payment: handle payment through your system
Create Order: submit the finalized order to Gifty for fulfillment

Caching

We recommend implementing stale-while-revalidate caching on the configuration endpoint with a 1-hour TTL to ensure optimal performance without impacting your storefront's responsiveness.
Configuration changes (products, pricing, shipping) may take up to 15 minutes to propagate after updates in the Gifty dashboard.

Data Models

In the External Orders API you'll use various data models to represent products, customizations, shipping options, and orders. Below are the key models you'll interact with.

Product Types

Type	Description
gift_card	Variable or fixed price gift cards.
gift_card_package	Pre-defined packages with set values.

Fulfillment Modes

Mode	Description
digital	Email delivery.
physical	Postal delivery.

Order Status

Status	Description
pending	Order received, processing not started.
processing	Order is being fulfilled.
completed	Order fulfilled, gift cards activated.
cancelled	Order was cancelled.

Customization Types

Type	Description	Available For
personalised_message	Add custom text to gift card.	physical, digital
gift_wrapping	Add decorative wrapping.	physical only

GET Configuration

https://api.gifty.nl/v1/external-orders/configuration

Returns the complete configuration required to place and order including products, customizations and shipping options.

Fulfillment modes

Products can have one or more fulfillment modes. "physical" means the product can be shipped to a physical address. "digital" means the product can be delivered digitally via email.

Customisation options can be limited to specific fulfillment modes. For example, gift wrapping is only available for physical products.

Pricing

Customisation and shipping prices are charged to the merchant.

Products can have a fixed or variable pricing model. For variable pricing, a minimum and maximum amount is specified along with suggested amounts.

Price "application" can be either "per_item" or "per_order". "per_item" means the price is multiplied by the quantity of items in the order. "per_order" means the price is applied once per order regardless of the number of items.

Shipping

Shipping methods can be limited to specific countries. Each country has its own pricing, schedule rules and delivery estimates.

Schedule rules define the cutoff time for same-day processing and the timezone of the fulfillment center.

Using the preview endpoint you can retrieve more detailed information about shipping methods including estimated delivery dates based on the shipping address and current date.

Remarks

If you apply a gift wrapping, each item in the order should have the same wrapping option. Mixing wrapping options within one order is not supported.

The configuration is cached and updated periodically. Changes to products, customizations or shipping methods may take a few minutes to be reflected in the configuration.

}

Path Parameters

order
string
required

The ID of the order, as returned by the Create Order endpoint.

Live and fixed values

The "status", the "fulfillment.status" and the "balance" of each gift card always reflect the current state of the order.

The "amounts", "line_items" and "shipping" reflect the order as it was placed and do not change afterwards.

The "shipping" object is only present for orders with physical fulfillment. Unlike the preview response, it does not contain "available_methods" or a "cutoff_time", because those describe shipping options at the moment of ordering and are not meaningful for an order retrieved later.
