How to Use Your Nike Gift Card at Checkout (Online & In-Store)

As of August 2026, Nike gift cards remain one of the most straightforward ways to pay for sneakers, apparel, and gear—whether you're shopping online at nike.com or visiting a physical store. The card works across Nike, Jordan Brand, and Converse products, and the redemption process takes under two minutes in most cases.

If you're based in Nigeria and received a gift card from the USA, UK, or another supported region, you can use it on the international website or apply it to your account balance. Below is a step-by-step breakdown for both online and in-store checkout, plus what to do if you'd rather convert the card to cash. For Nigerians looking to sell their gift card instead of using it, Cardhorse provides real-time rates at https://www.cardhorse.com/

How to Use Your Nike Gift Card at Online Checkout

The online checkout accepts gift cards as a payment method during the final step of your order. Here's how to apply it:

Step 1. Visit nike.com and add items to your cart. Sign in to your account if you have one (optional but recommended for tracking).

Step 2. Proceed to checkout. Enter your shipping address and choose a delivery method.

Step 3. On the payment screen, look for the field labeled "Gift Card" or "Promo Code." Enter your 16-digit card number and 4-digit PIN (found on the back of a physical card or in the email for digital cards).

Step 4. Click "Apply." The balance will be deducted from your order total. If the card doesn't cover the full amount, you'll be prompted to add another payment method for the remaining balance.

Step 5. Complete the order. You'll receive a confirmation email with your order details and tracking information.

If your balance exceeds the order total, the remaining value stays on the card for future use. These cards do not expire, so there's no rush to spend the full amount in one transaction.

How to Use Your Nike Gift Card In-Store

Physical retail stores accept gift cards at the register. The process is even simpler than online:

Step 1. Bring the physical card (or have the card number and PIN ready on your phone if you received a digital version).

Step 2. Select your items and proceed to the checkout counter.

Step 3. Tell the cashier you'd like to pay with a gift card. Hand over the card, or read out the card number and PIN if using a digital version.

Step 4. The cashier will scan or manually enter the card details. If it doesn't cover the full amount, you can pay the difference with another card or cash.

You'll receive a receipt showing the amount deducted from the card and any remaining balance. Ask the cashier to confirm the balance if you plan to use it again.

Using Part of the Balance or Combining Payment Methods

Gift cards can be combined with other payment methods in a single transaction:

  • Online: Apply the card first during checkout. The system will automatically prompt you to enter a credit card, debit card, or PayPal account for the remaining balance if the gift card doesn't cover the full order.
  • In-store: Tell the cashier you'd like to split the payment. They'll apply the balance first, then process the remaining amount with your preferred method.

You can also use multiple gift cards on a single order. Online, apply each card one at a time in the gift card field. In-store, hand the cashier each card in turn until the balance is covered.

What to Do If You Don't Want to Use It

If you're in Nigeria and can't easily shop on nike.com due to shipping limitations, high delivery fees, or import duties, selling the card for Naira is often more practical. Cardhorse offers a live rate for these cards and deposits funds within minutes. Rates as of August 2026 typically fall within competitive rates of the card's face value, depending on the denomination and market conditions.

To check the current rate, visit https://www.cardhorse.com/ or download the Cardhorse app from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cardhorse.app

Redemption Tips

Check the balance before checkout — Visit nike.com/gift-card-balance and enter your card number and PIN to confirm the available amount. This prevents surprises at the register.

Treat the card like cash — These cards are non-refundable and cannot be replaced if lost or stolen. Store the card number and PIN in a secure location, especially if you received a physical card.

Regional restrictions apply — Gift cards issued in the USA only work on the US version of nike.com (nike.com, not nike.com/gb or nike.com/ca). If you received a UK or EU card, you'll need to shop on the corresponding regional site.

Digital goods are excluded — These cards cannot be used to purchase in-app content or subscriptions through the Nike App (iOS/Android). They only apply to physical products and apparel.

The Cardhorse app lets you check live rates, submit your card, and receive payment directly to your account — all from your phone.
