Editing a Gift Card

If status of gift card is unused, the amount and expiration date of the gift card can still be edited after its issuance.

You can also disable an unused gift card. Disabling effectively means that your store will not accept the gift card. A disabled gift card can be re-enabled.

A gift card can no longer be edited once it is used.
