2. Why can’t I re-import gift cards with the same codes?

Short answer: Shopify does not allow gift cards to be deleted or recreated using the same code.

Explanation: Once a gift card is created in Shopify, its code is permanently reserved. Even if the gift card is disabled, the code cannot be reused. Because of this, apps cannot delete, overwrite, or re-import gift cards using codes that already exist in Shopify.

What are my options?

  • Contact Shopify Support to ask if they can remove the existing gift cards (not guaranteed)

  • Re-import gift cards using a new code format (for example, adding a prefix like PS) and notify customers of the updated codes

This is a Shopify platform limitation and applies to all gift card apps.
