What Are E-Gift Cards?

An e-gift card, or electronic gift card, is a digital code that is sent to the recipient via email, text, or through an app. This unique code can then be used to make purchases from a specific business or group of businesses in a network, either online, USSD or in-person.

Generally, the purchaser of an e-gift card can choose the amount of money that goes on it, but some merchants may choose to have pre-set amounts for sale
