In short
Any crypto wallet that can send Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDC, Litecoin (LTC), or other supported coins works with CoinGate Gift Cards - no special wallet integration is required.
Popular options include MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger, Trezor, Exodus, BlueWallet, and any exchange wallet that allows external withdrawals.
You simply copy the payment address shown at checkout, open your wallet, and send the exact amount - the same way you would send crypto to anyone.
Which wallets are compatible?
CoinGate Gift Cards doesn't connect directly to your wallet - it generates a unique crypto payment address for each order, and you send funds from whatever wallet you prefer. This means almost any wallet works, as long as it supports one of the accepted cryptocurrencies.
Software and mobile wallets
These are the most commonly used wallets when paying on CoinGate Gift Cards:
MetaMask - ideal for ETH and USDC payments on Ethereum
Trust Wallet - supports multiple coins including ETH and USDC
Exodus - desktop and mobile, supports BTC, ETH, LTC, and more
BlueWallet - a popular choice for Bitcoin and Lightning payments
Electrum - lightweight Bitcoin-only desktop wallet
Hardware wallets
Hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor work fine too. You send the payment through their companion apps (Ledger Live or Trezor Suite) exactly the same way as with a software wallet.
Exchange wallets
You can also pay directly from an exchange account (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, etc.) as long as the exchange allows external withdrawals. Just make sure you select the correct blockchain network when withdrawing - sending on the wrong network will result in a lost payment.
Important: Always verify the blockchain network shown at checkout matches the network you are sending from. Sending crypto on the wrong network cannot be reversed.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to connect my wallet to CoinGate Gift Cards?
No - you never connect your wallet directly. CoinGate Gift Cards generates a payment address for your order, and you send crypto to that address from any wallet you choose, just like a regular crypto transfer.
Can I pay with a Coinbase wallet?
Yes, you can pay from Coinbase or Coinbase Wallet as long as you select the correct network and cryptocurrency. Make sure withdrawals are enabled on your Coinbase account before placing your order.
Does my wallet need to support specific blockchain networks?
Yes - your wallet needs to support the same blockchain network you select at checkout. For example, if you pay with USDC on Ethereum, your wallet must support the Ethereum Mainnet.
Can I pay from an exchange like Binance?
Yes, as long as the exchange supports external withdrawals for the coin and network you select. Always double-check the network before sending - mistakes cannot be undone.
