# 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**

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you close the popup without saving, the gift code cannot be retrieved later.
{% endhint %}

### 📤 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

> Just sent you ${Gift\_Amount}! 🎉
>
> Tap this link to claim it: 👉 [https://pancakeswap.finance/invite/{Gift\_Code}](https://pancakeswap.finance/invite/%7BGift_Code%7D)
>
> Connect your wallet to complete the claim.
>
> Or, enter the code `{Gift_Code}` manually in the PancakeSwap Wallet.

### 🎉 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

2. Find the gift
