# Storefront API Cart now supports applying Gift Cards

As of version 2024-07 of the GraphQL Storefront API, Cart supports adding and querying for Gift Cards.

Updating Gift Cards can be achieved in two ways:

* When creating a cart - adding the [`CartInput`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/2024-07/input-objects/cartinput) `giftCardCodes` property.
* After a cart is created - performing the [`cartUpdateGiftCardCodes`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/2024-07/mutations/cartGiftCardCodesUpdate) mutation.

You can also query the cart for applied Gift Cards using the [`appliedGiftCards`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/2024-07/objects/Cart#field-cart-appliedgiftcards) property.
