The five steps

  1. Pick a brand and a region

    Browse the catalog and open the card you want. Gift cards are region-locked, so match the store region (amazon.com vs amazon.fr) to the account that will redeem the code — it is shown right above the amount picker.

  2. Choose the amount

    Denominations are fixed per region. Pick one, add it to the cart, and check out — as a guest if you like. The only thing we need is the email address that should receive the code.

  3. Select your coin

    Bitcoin, fast chains like Solana, stablecoins like USDT on the network of your choice — the full list of 40+ appears at checkout. The invoice shows the exact crypto amount, locked for the payment window.

  4. Pay from any wallet

    Scan the QR code or copy the address and amount into your wallet. Send exactly the amount shown — the rate stays locked while the invoice is open, so what you see is what you pay.

  5. Get the code by email

    Once the network confirms, the code lands in your inbox — usually about a minute later. Bitcoin confirmations take a few minutes; Solana or TON confirm in seconds. The order page refreshes on its own.

Three tips before your first order

Mind the network fee

Your wallet adds a miner fee on top of the invoice amount. On Bitcoin, that can matter for small cards — a stablecoin on a cheap network often costs less in fees.

Double-check the email

The code travels by email, so a typo is the one mistake we cannot undo for you. Check the address twice; add giftspend to your contacts if your inbox filters aggressively.

Send the exact amount

Underpaid invoices wait for a top-up; heavily overpaid ones need a support ticket. Copy the amount from the invoice instead of typing it.

Quick answers

Do I need an account or ID?

No. Checkout is guest-first: enter a delivery email, pay, done. No identity checks for gift cards.

Which cryptocurrencies can I use?

Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and USDC (on several networks), Solana, Litecoin, Monero, Dogecoin, TRON, BNB, TON and more — 40+ coins in total, all shown at checkout.

How long does delivery really take?

About a minute after the network confirms your payment. The confirmation itself depends on the coin: seconds for Solana or TON, a few minutes for Bitcoin.

What if I pay too little or too late?

Underpayments can be topped up while the invoice is open. Expired invoices are never charged — the coins simply stay in your wallet and you can reorder at the fresh rate.
