Can You Still Pay With Fawry?
No. Fawry is no longer available as a payment method on TopGift. If you used it before, you now need to pick one of the other options at checkout.
The good news is that there are several of them. You can pay with a bank card, a phone wallet, an e-wallet or crypto, depending on what you already have.
Payment Methods That Work From Egypt
Here is a quick overview of every way to pay from Egypt. The options you see at checkout appear automatically for your country.
| Method | How it works | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Visa / Mastercard | Pay with your bank card at checkout | Your bank must allow online payments abroad |
| Apple Pay / Google Pay | Pay with the card saved on your phone | The same bank limits apply |
| Skrill / Neteller | Pay from your e-wallet balance | No card details at checkout |
| Crypto | Pay with Bitcoin and other coins | The network fee depends on the coin |
If you already use an e-wallet, see our guide on buying gift cards with Skrill and Neteller for the full checkout steps.
Why Egyptian Bank Cards Sometimes Get Declined
Most failed payments from Egypt aren’t a problem with the shop. Instead, they come from the bank that issued the card.
Many Egyptian banks set limits on online payments in foreign currency, and some cards block international purchases by default. So a card that works fine in local shops can still fail on a website abroad.
TipBefore you pay, open your banking app and check that online and international payments are switched on. If the card still fails, call your bank and ask about the limit for payments in foreign currency.
On the other hand, if you’d rather skip bank limits altogether, an e-wallet or crypto payment avoids the card network completely. Our guide to paying online without a bank card explains the options in more detail.
Which Gift Cards to Buy From Egypt
The most important rule is simple: the code must match the region of the account you’ll use it on. For that reason, look for codes marked Global, or for the region your account is set to.
Some of the most popular choices for buyers in Egypt are listed below.
- Binance Gift Card: crypto codes that work on Binance accounts in supported countries.
- Global game keys: Steam and other PC games marked Global work on accounts from any region.
- Visa Payment Card USD: a prepaid way to pay online in US dollars.
If a code still doesn’t redeem, the region is usually the reason. Our guide on why a gift card is not working covers the other common causes.
