Steam: How to send a digital gift card

On the Steam platform, Valve provides the option to give digital gift cards, thereby enabling the transfer of money between friends. Once the gift is accepted, the money is immediately transferred into the recipient's wallet and cannot be removed from the Steam platform. Users can now spend the money exactly on what they want right away or reserve it at a later time, which alleviates the previous hassle of searching for a friend's Steam wish list. Sending a digital gift card is an easy way to please Steam users and is the ideal present. The physical gift card works best for sending gift cards outside of Steam because sending a digital gift card requires that you and the recipient be linked as friends within Steam.

How to send a Steam digital gift card via browser

Users just need to visit the Steam Store digital gift card page and make sure they're signed in to send a Steam digital gift card via the browser. The user can then choose how much money they want to pay by clicking the "Send through Steam" option. Only certain, predetermined amounts of the digital gift cards are offered:

• $5
• $10
• $25
• $50
• $100

Sadly, this means that giving $60 to a buddy can only be done via two different gift cards. Users will need to join the Steam platform once again after choosing the amount. Next, pick the intended recipient and finish the payment process.

Receiving a digital gift card through Steam

The process for receiving a digital gift card from Steam is quite similar to that of receiving a game as a gift. Users will receive a notification that a present is waiting for them, and when they pick the notification, they will be prompted to accept the gift. Before users must decide whether to accept or reject the gift, the sender's name and message are plainly shown.

The funds are immediately deposited to the recipient's Steam wallet for use after the gift is accepted. Users should be aware that it limits access to the Steam Community Market for 72 hours, with the timer starting as soon as the money is added.
