Discount coupons of the gift card type are going to be replaced with new gift cards. Currently, the new gift cards are available as an experimental feature. Here you can learn how to enable the new gift cards and which conditions you must meet to do so.
The new gift cards don't support all of the settings that are available for discount coupons of the gift card type. Therefore you may have to delete or edit some of your old gift cards before enabling the feature.

The new gift cards function as a payment method, which means that if the entire order is paid for with a gift card, the customer doesn't have to select a payment method at checkout at all.
Customers can use gift cards, discount coupons and campaign discounts within a single order. In such a case, the order total is calculated based on the discount-related pricing rules.
