Other Ways To Gift
Gifting is woven throughout Discord, so you don't always have to go to a Game Shop to give a friend something. Here are some other ways to gift in-game items:
- From a friend's Wishlist: Open the Wishlist tab on anyone's Discord profile to see which Game Shop items they've been eyeing, and send them a gift right from there.
- From DMs: Use the gift icon in a DM to send a friend an in-game item.
- From a link in chat: If someone drops a link to an in-game item in chat, you can gift that item straight from the link.
- From voice channels: While streaming a game that has a Game Shop in a voice channel, you can gift items to friends right from there.
Frequently Asked Questions
This FAQ is divided into sections:
Purchases and Refunds
Q: Can I refund a Game Shop purchase?
A: Generally, purchases in Game Shops are non-refundable. However, if you're unable to claim the in-game item on a supported platform, and you attempt to claim the item within the 14-day claim period, you can reach out to Discord support to request a refund: https://dis.gd/billing.
Check the game-specific sections below for which platforms are supported.
Q: How do I see what items I've purchased?
A: You can see any purchases on your Billing tab in settings in the 'Transaction History' section.
Q: What happens if I receive a gift of an item I already own in the game?
A: If you attempt to claim a gifted item that you already own in-game, the gift sender will be refunded. Note that gift receivers must attempt to claim items within 14 days to ensure Discord can issue any eligible refunds.
Q: Why do I see "You already own this item or it's not supported on your platform"?
A: This message appears when you already own the item, your linked game account is on an unsupported platform, or you own an item that's included in a bundle you're trying to purchase. If you already own the item, you'll only be able to purchase it as a gift for someone else.

Gifting

Q: How do I know what my friends want?
A: You can check a friend's Wishlist on their Discord profile. Open the Wishlist tab to see which items they've saved, and gift them something right from there. You can also add items to your own Wishlist so friends know what to get you. Learn more in our Wishlist FAQ.
Account Linking
Q: Can I purchase from a Game Shop without linking my account?
