Digital gift card guidelines 

You must have an Etsy account to purchase a digital Etsy gift card. Learn how to create an Etsy account.

When you purchase a digital gift card, follow these guidelines:

  • The "To" or "From" field must be no more than 25 characters in length
  • The message to the recipient must be no more than 5 lines in length
  • There can’t be any special characters or emojis in the text

You can’t purchase an Etsy gift card and check out from another shop in the same transaction. If you have other items in your basket, you can purchase them in a separate transaction.

If you're in the EEA, which comprises the EU, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein, you may be asked to authenticate your payment after you select Place your order

To authenticate a payment, you'll need to respond to a prompt from your card issuer and provide additional information. Depending on your card issuer, this additional information may include a correct response to a question, a password, or a passcode.
