# Gift Up! plugin

> Digital and physical gift card management, issuance, redemption, orders, and balances.

Use **Gift Up!** through Corsair: one client, typed API calls.

Gift Up! is a digital and physical gift card platform. The REST API operates under `https://api.giftup.app`.

Authentication requires an API key passed via the `Authorization: Bearer <api_key>` header. API keys are generated in the Gift Up! dashboard under Settings > Integrations > API.

Key concepts:

* **Orders and Gift Card Issuance:** Gift cards are created by placing an order via `orders.create`.
* **Redemptions:** Full or partial redemptions are performed on the gift card resource via `giftCards.redeem` or `giftCards.redeemInFull`. Redemptions can be reversed/refunded using `giftCards.undoRedemption`.
* **JSON Patch:** Updates to gift cards, orders, items, groups, users, and settings use RFC 6902 JSON Patch operations.
* **Test Mode:** Set `testMode: true` in the plugin options to send the `x-giftup-testmode: true` header, so calls use the account's test data. In live mode, `orders.create` is charged Gift Up's fee.
* **Emails:** `orders.create` emails the gift card when `recipientDetails` is set, unless `disableAllEmails` is true. `users.invite` emails an invitation.
* **Lists:** `giftCards.list`, `orders.list` and `reports.listTransactions` return `{ <items>, total, hasMore }`; page with `limit` (max 100) and `offset`.

**What you get:**

* 51 typed API operations

## Setup

**1. Install**

```bash npm theme={null}
npm install corsair @corsair-dev/giftup better-sqlite3
npm install --save-dev @types/better-sqlite3
```

```bash yarn theme={null}
yarn add corsair @corsair-dev/giftup better-sqlite3
yarn add --dev @types/better-sqlite3
```

```bash pnpm theme={null}
pnpm install corsair @corsair-dev/giftup better-sqlite3
pnpm install --save-dev @types/better-sqlite3
```

```bash bun theme={null}
bun add corsair @corsair-dev/giftup better-sqlite3
bun add --dev @types/better-sqlite3
```

**2. Add the plugin**

```ts corsair.ts theme={null}
import Database from 'better-sqlite3';
import { createCorsair } from 'corsair';
import { giftup } from '@corsair-dev/giftup';

export const corsair = createCorsair({
	plugins: [
		giftup(),
	],
	database: new Database('corsair.db'),
	kek: process.env.CORSAIR_KEK!,
	multiTenancy: true,
	hub: {
		projectApiKey: process.env.CORSAIR_API_KEY!,
		signingSecret: process.env.CORSAIR_SIGNING_SECRET!,
	},
});
```

With `multiTenancy: true`, scope calls with `corsair.withTenant(id)`. See [Quick start](https://docs.corsair.dev/quick-start.md) for KEK + Hub keys, and [Multi-tenancy](https://docs.corsair.dev/concepts/multi-tenancy.md) for account isolation.

**3. Choose authentication**

> [tab] API Key (Recommended)
>
> Store the Gift Up! API key before the first call: `pnpm corsair setup --plugin=giftup --tenant=acme api_key=<your-key>` (leave out `--tenant` without `multiTenancy`), or pass it as `key` in the plugin options. With Hub, each tenant enters their own key on the connect page. See [API key auth](https://docs.corsair.dev/concepts/api-key).
>
> ```ts theme={null}
> giftup()
> ```
>
> More: [API Key](https://docs.corsair.dev/concepts/api-key)

**4. Connect a tenant**

Mint a connect link and send the tenant to it. Hub hosts the page and delivers the result to your app — see [Connect / OAuth](https://docs.corsair.dev/management/connect).

```ts theme={null}
const { connectUrl } = await corsair.manage.connect.createLink({
	plugin: 'giftup',
	tenantId: 'acme',
});
// redirect the user's browser to connectUrl
```

## Example API calls

**`company.get`**

```ts theme={null}
const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
await tenant.giftup.api.company.get({});
```

**`giftCards.reactivate`**

```ts theme={null}
const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
await tenant.giftup.api.giftCards.reactivate({});
```

See the full list on the [API](https://docs.corsair.dev/plugins/giftup/api.md) page.
