Allowing Gifs in Jinxxy's beta market

For item previews, it would be nice if we could also have the ability to upload gifs in the future, in addition to the images, videos, and YT links that are already available for image previews when selling directly through jinxxy

LynxJinx Hey there! First time posting in here, I'm looking at moving over here due to some new gumroad policies. I really do need this gifting feature, at minimum for the creators themselves to gift to specific individuals.
I just want to clarify, this is for a "gift" feature, not to add "gifs" ...
My use case for this is that I would then be able to manually gift existing purchases from gumroad to my users on here, in a way, transfering the license to Jinxxy.
I've been brainstorming other solutions, but at the end of the day, when issuing a 1 time use code, I cannot confirm that the correct user will actually claim it (and not just give it to their friend instead).

Voxian Gifting is mostly going to be built on something like Steam gifting where you can purchase an item for your friend.
While you can theoretically do it by giving yourself an 100% off code and "purchasing" it for the user that bought it from another platform.
I think something that would work better is the ability for a creator to just grant a specific user a product. I think it's best you open another feature request and describe your problem and this as a possible solution, so I can better address your problem directly instead of using this feature as a workaround.

LynxJinx I agree with you completely! I was looking for a simple solution that would require less work for your team overall, but I do agree a creator dashboard feature that allows you to assign licenses would be best.
I've made another post here with that type of feature in mind.
