Folks at D&D beyond lets face it Wizards of the Coast is expensive. Gifting is a great way for your products to sell because I, being the cheap guy that I am, wont pay for something I'm on the fence about but, I will if its someone else's money. Also you should look into financing options for larger orders.
Financing will likely never be a thing as that's a whole mess that a company like DDB doesn't want to be getting into.
As for gifting, Adam has been the biggest advocate of the feature since before last xmas I believe. But it's not an easy thing to implement as you're basically creating a transferable value systems so there needs to be lots of checks and balances in place. It's the kind of feature where legal would likely need to get involved.
Yeah, it's amazing how many places legal have to stick their nose in. Once you introduce a system by which people can 'store' value in a code, it can get all sorts of messy. You have to have systems for ensuring codes stay valid long enough, can't accidentally overlap (to prevent people redeeming each others codes) etc.

Gifts have been requested for years. They hear those requests, acknowledge them as a good idea, but are procrastinating about implementing it.
I'm not sure financing will ever be a thing...

I honestly made the thread just to show more support for gifting. You bring up a good point about legal teams being involved in such a decision.
