# GiftCard API available for Shopify Plus custom and private apps

As of API version 2021-04, [GiftCard GraphQL APIs](https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/graphql/reference/common-objects/giftcard) are available for custom and private apps installed on Shopify Plus stores. App developers can now use the APIs to query all gift cards within a shop, as well as create, update, and disable gift cards. To get started, check out our tutorial on [managing gift cards using the GraphQL Admin API](https://shopify.dev/tutorials/manage-gift-cards-with-admin-api).

GiftCard REST API availability has also been extended to custom apps installed on Shopify Plus stores. Partners developing custom apps can now use Gift Card functionality when creating custom apps for Plus merchants. Learn more about the [GiftCard REST resource](https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/rest/reference/plus/giftcard) in our developer documentation.
