So I took advantage of Cyber Week to gift both of my groups with digital copies of the PHB as a thanks for all the fun we're having and will continue to have. That's a total of 7 players.
First, the good: I'm so happy I can gift books on DnDBeyond. It's something I'd wanted for a long time for just such a purpose.
Second, the not-so-good: Going through the steps of checking out 7 different times. While you can mark books as being gifts, you can only put one of each book in the basket. You're sending some a gift of the core essentials? Good on you! Just mark the books as gifts and no problem! Purchasing 7 gift copies of the PHB only? That's one you have to do one by one. I broke it up into several different sessions just so I didn't get my card flagged for potential fraud.
I can understand that this is an extreme case and not everyone is going to buy one or more of their DnD groups digital copies of the books all at once, but it would be nice to have multiple gift copies of one book in your basket. No rush on this improvement if it's even considered at all.
I do have a would-be-nice feature though: Both of my groups are members of DnDBeyond (obviously) and I have them grouped in my campaigns. It'd be nice when buying a gift to send it directly to another account and actually be able to see out the gate if they already had that book before purchase.
Thank you!
