Enable, disable or revoke a gift card
Deliberately does NOT touch live holds: a checkout that already reserved value settles normally, because pulling it out from under a shopper mid-payment would strand a provider charge already in flight. Disabling stops NEW holds, which is what off actually means.

Header Parameters
Client-supplied key (a UUID v4 is the recommended form, max 255 characters) that makes this mutation safe to retry.
- Replay window: 24 hours. The first response for a key is cached; a retry inside the window with the same request body returns the original status and body without re-running the handler.
- Reusing a key with a different body returns
409 Conflictwithcode: "IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED". The request fingerprint (method + path + body hash) is compared against the stored one; a mismatch is refused rather than served the old response. - Keys are scoped to the calling credential and store — two API keys may safely use the same key value.
- Error responses are cached too, so a retry of a request that failed validation returns the same 400 immediately.
- Sending this header on a
GETreturns400withcode: "IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_NOT_SUPPORTED"— GETs are already idempotent. - Support is per-route and this parameter is the authoritative signal: a key sent to a route that does not declare it is accepted and silently ignored.
