Purchasing Gifts from the Stardock Store

Easily give gifts to your family and friends!

Friday, November 30, 2007 by Island Dog | Discussion: Community

I'm sure most of you have read about WinCustomize subscriptions, or maybe seen some really cool master skins, or any number of great products from our online store.  I wanted to remind everyone that all these things make great gifts, and it's perfect for someone who lives far away from you or a last minute gift that needs to be delivered almost instantly.

We have made it easy to purchase anything such as a WinCustomize subscription, or Object Desktop suite, PC games, and send it as a gift to someone.  During the checkout process at the Impulse Store, you will have an option to purchase as a gift.

 

Checkout page

On the next page you will be able to enter the recipient information.  Just make sure you have the correct e-mail address for the person you are purchasing for.

Recipient information

After that you will just need to enter your payment information, review your order, and the person you purchased for will receive an e-mail with their registration information and instructions.  The person who receives the gift will not see any of your payment information, just the name of the purchaser.

So take a browse through the store and find that perfect gift!

I want a Stardock/Joeuser.com t-shirt.

Something like "Real Men/Women blog at Joeuser.com"  heh.

Or even just JOEUSER.COM.

Course I could have one made, but it'd mean more if I knew other Juer's around the world were wearing the same one.

Just be be clear as the 2nd Screenshot might mislead.

While in the screenshot, it looks like you are required to provide a lot of information about the recipient, where Island Dog says you should make sure you have the correct e-mail address for the user (the one they use with their account), this is because that apart from the user's name (or user name), that's all the info you need if it's a download.

As long as the item isn't actually being posted out, then the other fields aren't needed. In the past, I've just put withheld or something like that, it doesn't really matter.

If you are buying a subscription for someone else, then unless something has changed, you need both their e-mail address and their subscription serial number. This gets cross referenced automatically at the start and then the process continues as normal.

It really is very easy.
