What is a gift card and how digital codes work
Digital gift cards and game codes are prepaid vouchers delivered as a string of characters instead of a physical card. This guide explains what they are, how delivery works, and how to use them safely.
Steps
- 1
Buy the code
Choose the platform and amount, complete payment, and the code is reserved for your order.
- 2
Receive instant delivery
After payment is confirmed, the code is delivered to your account and email — usually within seconds.
- 3
Reveal the code securely
Open your order, accept the on-screen terms, and the code is revealed. This step is logged for your protection.
- 4
Redeem on the platform
Enter the code on the matching platform (Steam, PlayStation, Google Play, and so on) to add balance or unlock content.
Frequently asked questions
Are digital codes safe to buy?
Yes, when bought from a trusted store. Codes are encrypted at rest, revealed only to you, and the reveal moment is logged.
What if I lose my code?
Your code stays available in your order history and is also emailed to you, so you can retrieve it anytime.
Can I refund a revealed code?
Because a revealed code can be used immediately, redeemed digital codes are generally non-refundable. Check the product's terms before revealing.
