Remove a gift card from a checkout (Storefront)

Removes a gift card from the checkout and gives the held value back. Nothing was debited while it was applied, so nothing is written to the card ledger.

DELETE
/vc/{connectionId}/checkout/{checkoutId}/gift-card/{tenderId}
X-Sales-Channel-Origin<token>

For /api/vc/{connectionId}/* routes the connectionId (vc_*) is in the URL path — not a header. Live-mode requests must also send a matching Origin header.

In: header

Path Parameters

connectionIdstring

Sales channel ID (vc_*), the canonical salesChannelId. connectionId is the deprecated name of the same value and is still the literal path segment.

checkoutIdstring

Checkout id, returned by checkout (create checkout).

tenderIdstring

Id of the gift card tender, an entry of tenders on the checkout.

Header Parameters

originstring

Origin of the storefront page making the call, for example https://shop.example.com. Required: a request with no Origin header is refused with 403. On a LIVE channel its host must equal the channel's registered domain (or one of its subdomains) or match an allowed origin. A TEST channel with no domain accepts any origin; once a domain is set it is matched as on LIVE.

X-SDK-Version?string

Version of the calling SDK (the Brainerce SDK sends it automatically). Informational: it is recorded on the channel and never changes the response.
