Hi there,
My understanding is that EE doesn’t have a gift card add-on?
That’s okay we are working around that but I do have a question.
This is correct, officially we don’t have a Gift Card add-on.
However, do you use fixed price promotions on the site? As in a promotion within the EE promotions add-on that is set to a dollar amount and NOT a percentage?
My question for you is if it’s possible to have the purchasers first name show in the email? The only place they would be inputting their name is in the Stripe credit card checkout.
Not if the only place you are collecting that name is on the Stripe checkout, however, you could use an additional custom question on the registration form and then use the value from that.
In this screenshot:

Have you add all of question into the ‘Personal Information’ question group there or are they separate?
The way I would set this us up to have the ‘Personal Info’ group holding only questions specifically related to the attendee themselves.
Then have a ‘Gift Card Questions’ group where I would collect the ‘personal message’ and ‘Name to show who gift card is FROM’ question (plus any others you may ask that relate to the gift card).
Then set up Attendee 1 to collect the ‘Personal Info’ and ‘Gift Card Questions’ group.
Now you can use the [PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_ANSWER_*{question_text}] shortcode to pull in the value set ion the registration form… so in my example using the text Iset above it would be:
[PRIMARY_REGISTRANT_ANSWER_*Name to show who gift card is FROM]
That will parse to whatever they input into that question.
So doable, you’ll just need to change your reg questions to also collect that info.

Now, something that stood out to me as soon as I viewed your screenshots is this text:
Note: Changes made in your Personal Information details will be synced with your user profile.
That means your using the WP User integration add-on and the option to Sync your registrations with your WP user profile is enabled.
The problem with that is your using the Attendee information for Gift Cards… which means that is NOT going to match the WP user account and it will change the logged in users WP user account details to match the current registration each time they register.
Go to Event Espresso -> Regitration Form -> User Integration Settings.
Set ‘Always sync contact information with WP user profile?’ to No and save.
That means that not all the registration made by the logged in user will show in their ‘My Registrations’ profile, but its much better than the alternative o what will happen with this setup up and having that option enabled.
