# How to Manage Gift Cards
In this document, youll learn how to manage gift cards using the admin APIs.
:::note
You can learn more about what gift cards are and how theyre used in [this documentation](../backend/gift-cards/index.md)
:::
## Overview
Using the gift cards admin APIs, you can manage gift cards including listing, updating, and deleting them.
### Scenario
You want to add or use the following admin functionalities:
- Manage the gift card product including retrieving, adding, updating, and deleting it.
- Managing custom gift cards including retrieving, adding, updating and deleting them.
---
## Prerequisites
### Medusa Components
It is assumed that you already have a Medusa server installed and set up. If not, you can follow the [quickstart guide](../../quickstart/quick-start.mdx) to get started.
### JS Client
This guide includes code snippets to send requests to your Medusa server using Medusas JS Client, JavaScripts Fetch API, or cURL.
If you follow the JS Client code blocks, its assumed you already have [Medusas JS Client](../../js-client/overview.md) installed and have [created an instance of the client](../../js-client/overview.md#configuration).
### Authenticated Admin User
You must be an authenticated admin user before following along with the steps in the tutorial.
You can learn more about [authenticating as an admin user in the API reference](/api/admin/#section/Authentication).
---
## Manage Gift Card Product
This section covers managing the gift card product. There can only be one gift card product in a store. The gift card can have unlimited denominations.
As gift cards are, before purchase, essentially products, youll be using product endpoints to manage them.
### Retrieve Gift Card Product
You can retrieve the gift card product by sending a request to the [List Products](/api/admin/#tag/Product/operation/GetProducts) endpoint, but filtering by the `is_giftcard` flag:
<Tabs groupId="request-type" wrapperClassName="code-tabs">
<TabItem value="client" label="Medusa JS Client" default>
```ts
medusa.admin.products.list({
is_giftcard: true,
})
.then(({ products, limit, offset, count }) => {
if (products.length) {
// gift card product exists
const giftcard = products[0]
} else {
// no gift card product is created
}
})
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="fetch" label="Fetch API">
```ts
fetch(`<SERVER_URL>/admin/products?is_giftcard=true`, {
credentials: "include",
})
.then((response) => response.json())
.then(({ products, limit, offset, count }) => {
if (products.length) {
// gift card product exists
const giftcard = products[0]
} else {
// no gift card product is created
}
})
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="curl" label="cURL">
```bash
curl -L -X GET '<SERVER_URL>/admin/products?is_giftcard=true' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>'
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
The List Products endpoint accepts a variety of query parameters that can be used to filter the products. One of them is `is_giftcard`. When set to `true`, it will only retrieve the gift card product.
The request returns the `products` array in the response which holds the gift card in it, if its available. It also returns [pagination fields](/api/admin/#section/Pagination).
### Create Gift Card Product
You can create only one gift card product in a store. To create a gift card product, send a request to the [Create a Product](/api/admin/#tag/Product/operation/PostProducts) endpoint:
<Tabs groupId="request-type" wrapperClassName="code-tabs">
<TabItem value="client" label="Medusa JS Client" default>
```ts
import { ProductStatus } from "@medusajs/medusa"
// ...
medusa.admin.products.create({
title: "My Gift Card",
is_giftcard: true,
discountable: false,
status: ProductStatus.PUBLISHED,
options: [
{
title: "Denomination",
},
],
variants: [
{
title: "1",
inventory_quantity: 0,
manage_inventory: false,
prices: [
{
amount: 2000,
currency_code: "usd",
},
],
options: [
{
value: "2000",
},
],
},
],
})
.then(({ product }) => {
console.log(product.id)
})
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="fetch" label="Fetch API">

}),
})
.then((response) => response.json())
.then(({ product }) => {
console.log(product.id)
})
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="curl" label="cURL">
```bash
curl -L -X POST '<SERVER_URL>/admin/products' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>' \

The value is passed in the `prices` and `options` array. If you want to add prices for different currencies, you can pass them under `prices` and `options` as well.
You can pass other body parameters to change the handle, add images, and more. Check the [API reference](/api/admin/#tag/Product/operation/PostProducts) for available body parameters.
