Pancake Gifts: How-To Guide

Pancake Gifts lets you send tokens — including optional gas — to friends, users, or community members using just a link or QR code. The process is quick, seamless, and beginner-friendly.

This guide walks you through:

• ✅ How to create a Pancake Gift

• ✅ How to send or share it

• ✅ How to claim a gift

• ✅ How to cancel a gift (if unclaimed)

🧑‍🍳 Step 1: Create a Gift

1. Navigate to the Gift Creation Tab

Go to the Gift tab inside the PancakeSwap Wallet UI.

2. Select Tokens and Amounts

Choose up to two tokens to include in your gift:

• One BEP-20 token (required) — e.g., CAKE

• One native gas token (optional) — e.g., BNB

This setup lets you:

• Send usable tokens to the recipient

• Cover their gas so they can transact immediately

  

3. Choose Gift Type

Select one of the following:

• 🔗 Link — Easy to copy and share via chat or socials

• 📱 QR Code — Perfect for in-person events or mobile users

💡 Each gift can only be claimed once, and only supports one delivery format (link or QR).

4. Review Summary & Pay

Before confirming, review:

• Gift Amount — Total tokens included in the gift

• Gift Claim Gas Fee — Native tokens sender included for recipient to enjoy gasless claiming (~$0.05 in BNB)

Once confirmed:

• The gift is created and stored on-chain

• You’ll receive a link or QR code — make sure to save it before closing the popup

📤 Step 2: Send or Share the Gift

After creation, you'll receive either:

• A shareable Link, and / or

• A scannable QR Code

You can share this via:

• Chat apps (Telegram, WhatsApp)

• Email

• Social media

• Direct message at events

Shareable Link

QR Code

🎉 Step 3: Claim a Gift

1. After connecting wallet, tap the Link or Scan the QR Code

When the recipient:

• Opens the link or

• Scans the QR code

The app will autofill the gift code. If eligible and unclaimed, the gift claim UI will load.

If not, an error message will show (e.g. expired or already claimed).

2. Approve & Receive Tokens

The recipient can claim without paying any gas (it’s already covered).

Once approved:

• The BEP-20 tokens (and gas token, if included) are deposited into their wallet

• The gift is marked as claimed

  

  

  

❌ Step 4: Cancel a Gift (If Unclaimed)

You can cancel a gift only if:

• It’s still unclaimed

• It’s still within the expiry window (default: 7 days)

To cancel:

1. Go to the Gift History tab

1. Find the gift

1. Click Cancel

The tokens will be returned to your wallet (minus the gas sponsorship fee).

⚠️ Cancelled gifts cannot be reactivated or reused.

✅ That’s It!

1. Create a Pancake Gift
