How to Activate Use a Zara Gift Card Online

To redeem a Zara gift card, you first need to activate it whether you bought it in-store or online. If you’re buying online, you can just go to the gift card activation page on the brand’s website and fill out the form to do so.

If you’re shopping in-store, this can be done while you’re checking out. You’ll need to show the sales assistant at Zara your e-gift card either by printing it or via your phone, and when they put through your sale the card will be activated.

If you plan to spend it online, head to the checkout page and select the gift card option when asked how you’ll pay for your purchase. You’ll then need to enter the gift card number and security code (or CVV2) to complete your purchase.
