Pricing and availability
App gift pricing
When you purchase an app gift for a friend, the price of the app will be the public standard offer. This means that while you may have received an app for free (such as in a cross-buy promotion) the price you'll pay to gift the app will be the current public standard price.
App gift availability
Gifted apps may be restricted by location. This means that your friend must have the app available in their country. Please note that gifted apps are only intended for use in supported countries, and gifted apps may not be accessible outside of, and may vary among and within, supported countries.
Keep in mind, app or game bundles and add-ons to existing apps can’t be sent as gifts at this time.
Notes:
- App gift codes can only be redeemed once, are redeemable by anyone who has access to them.
- If a gift you send is not redeemed by the person you sent it to within 30 days, it will expire automatically and the refund will go back to you.
- If you send a gift to the wrong email address and need to cancel it, please contact Meta Store support for assistance.
- Only the person who received the gift can request to return it, unless otherwise required by applicable law. The refund will go to the person who purchased the gift. Learn more about returning app gifts.
