Gift Card balances always zero

Questions
1

I’m trying to create Gift Cards using the API, but while I am able to successfully send a request, each time the Gift Card comes back, it has a balance of zero.

The documentation states that the balance_money is Read Only - does that mean I cannot pass any data using that attribute?

This is what my body looks like:
{"idempotency_key":"7MRkgEfLnaPLg4FYmuf3nfU9yAKZY","location_id":"LGH0D0W2EM1N2","gift_card":{"type":"DIGITAL","balance_money":{"amount":2500}}}

Any help is appreciated.

:wave: With the Gift Cards API you can create and add funds two ways to a card. The first is to Load a Gift Card Using the Orders API. The second is Load a Gift Card Without the Orders API. :slightly_smiling_face:
