Step 01
Choose the gaming instrument before choosing Monero
| Desired result | Instrument to confirm | Account check before buying |
|---|---|---|
| Steam spending balance | Steam Wallet Code | Match the code currency to the recipient’s Steam Wallet currency. |
| PlayStation Store funds | A listing that explicitly confirms a PlayStation Store wallet voucher; the generic PlayStation listing requires this check | If it is a wallet voucher, match its country or region to the PlayStation account. |
| Flexible Xbox spending | Xbox or Microsoft stored value | Match the account jurisdiction and product currency. |
| A fixed gaming plan | A listing that names the subscription and duration | Confirm the plan, term and eligible account market; do not infer these from the platform logo. |
Paying with XMR does not change the platform product. It cannot turn wallet credit into a game key or subscription, change a voucher’s country, or bypass a platform account rule.
Step 02
From the cart to a confirmed XMR payment
- Lock the product choice.Select the platform, market, face currency, denomination and quantity that fit the recipient.
- Enter the three checkout fields.Giftlano asks for first name, last name and email. There is no storefront account or identity-document/selfie step.
- Select XMR on Monero.XMR is one of eight supported assets across nine asset-and-network methods. Giftlano does not offer Bitcoin Lightning.
- Request the exact instruction.The server returns the address, exact XMR amount, rate and expiry. The quote remains valid for exactly 60 minutes.
- Transfer on the Monero network.Send the exact XMR amount before expiry. A wallet or exchange fee is separate from the invoiced amount.
- Wait for confirmation and fulfillment.Network confirmation and product delivery are separate states. Giftlano emails gift-card codes within two minutes after confirmation under its store commitment.
Step 03
What “no KYC at checkout” does and does not mean
Store checkout
Giftlano does not request an identity document or selfie and does not require a storefront account. It does collect first name, last name and email to create and associate the order.
Monero transfer
You still create an order and a blockchain payment. The store, your wallet or exchange, and other services may retain records under their own processes. This page makes no anonymity claim.
Platform redemption
The gamer redeems the delivered code through their normal platform account. Steam, PlayStation and Xbox account terms still apply independently of the crypto payment.
Step 04
Redeem through the platform, without XMR
Once the code is delivered, the recipient uses the platform’s ordinary redemption path. Keep the code private and sign in to the account that should retain the funds, content or subscription.

Monero gift-card questions
Does the recipient need Monero?
No. The buyer uses XMR to pay Giftlano. The recipient uses the delivered platform code through Steam, PlayStation or Xbox.
Can I change the market by paying with XMR?
No. The product market and face currency remain attached to the card. Crypto is the payment rail, not a region selector.
What if the 60-minute XMR invoice expires?
Do not reuse it. Request a new invoice and send only the exact amount shown on the live instruction.
