Before you activate your Love2Shop Gift Card, make sure you have the following details to hand:

Your physical or digital gift card. Whether you have a physical gift card or a digital one, you'll need it in front of you to complete the activation. For digital gift cards, have your delivery email ready on your phone or printed out.

Your card number. This is the unique number printed on the card itself or included in the delivery email of your digital card. It's required for online activation and will be needed when activating in store.

Your PIN or security code. Most Love2Shop Gift Cards come with a PIN or security code that's needed to complete the activation process. For physical cards, this is usually found on the back of the card or under a scratch panel. For digital gift cards, it can be found in your delivery email.

An email address for online activation. If you're activating a Love2Shop Gift Card online, you'll need to create or log into a Love2Shop account, which requires a valid email address. Having an email address ready to use before you start will speed up the activation process.
