About

Gift commerce, not gift cards

Most gift cards are a voucher with a shop attached. iGift is the other way round: a marketplace of verified Nigerian stores, and a card system flexible enough that the person receiving the gift decides how it is used.

What actually happens when you send a gift

  1. 1You choose what it is forA product from the marketplace, or an amount. Both arrive as a card the recipient owns.
  2. 2They choose what to do with itBuy the thing you picked, buy something else, put it towards a bigger purchase, transfer it, or withdraw it — whichever the card’s rules allow.
  3. 3You see that it landed, not what they boughtYou are told the gift was opened and that the value was used. Where they spent it is theirs.

Three things that make it work differently

Verified sellers only

Every store passes business verification, bank verification and category approval before a single listing goes live. The seven steps are published.

One ledger, no edits

Value moves by double-entry accounting. Nobody — including us — can type a new balance into a card. A correction is a new entry, so the history stays true.

Rules, not code

Every kind of gift card is a row in a table with its own rules. That is why a card can be transferable but not withdrawable, and why we can say exactly which is which.

Where we operate

Nigeria, in naira, with delivery ranked toward sellers in your own state to keep cost and waiting down. You can always browse other states — locality is a default, never a fence.
