When do I receive my gift card after paying?

Understand what "instant delivery" means — and how payment confirmation and the claim step both factor into when you receive your gift card code.

"Instant delivery" means your gift card code is delivered almost immediately after your payment is confirmed and you click to claim your order. The claim step is what triggers delivery — and it typically completes in under a minute.

In short

  • Instant delivery refers to how fast your code arrives after you click "Claim" on your order page — almost always under a minute.

  • Before you can claim, your payment must be confirmed. How long that takes depends on your payment method (see below).

  • Once your payment is confirmed, go to your order page and click "Claim Gift Card" — your code will appear almost instantly.

How the process works

There are two steps between paying and receiving your code:

  1. Payment confirmation — how long this takes depends on your payment method (see below).

  2. Claiming your order — once confirmed, visit your order page and click "Claim Gift Card". This is when instant delivery kicks in — your code is delivered in under a minute.

Payment confirmation times by method

Credit/debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay

Confirmed almost immediately. You can claim your order within seconds of completing payment.

Cryptocurrency

Crypto payments require at least one blockchain confirmation before your order is ready to claim. This usually takes a few minutes but can vary depending on network congestion and the coin used.

Bitcoin payments may take 10–30 minutes during busy periods. Litecoin and stablecoins like USDC on faster networks are usually quicker.

SpectroCoin

SpectroCoin invoices are checked every 30 minutes. Once your payment is detected and confirmed, your order will be ready to claim — but this can take up to a few hours in some cases.

SEPA bank transfer

SEPA transfers take 1–3 business days to arrive. Your order will be ready to claim as soon as the transfer is received and confirmed.


Where to find your code

After claiming, your gift card code is shown on your order page and emailed to the address you entered at checkout. If you don't see the email, check your spam or junk folder.


Frequently asked questions

What does "instant delivery" actually mean?

It means your code arrives almost immediately after you click "Claim" on your order page — typically under a minute. It does not mean the code appears the moment you pay, as payment confirmation must happen first.

I paid but my order isn't ready to claim yet — what should I do?

This means your payment is still being confirmed. Check your order page for the current status. For crypto payments, wait for blockchain confirmation. For SpectroCoin, checks happen every 30 minutes so it may take a couple of hours. If it's been more than 24 hours, contact support with your order ID.

Can I get my gift card faster with crypto?

Yes — choose a cryptocurrency with faster confirmation times, like Litecoin or USDC, instead of Bitcoin. Card payments (Visa, Apple Pay, Google Pay) are confirmed the fastest of all.

Is there a way to see my code without waiting for the email?

Yes. After claiming, your code is shown directly on your order page. You don't need to wait for the email.
