How To Gift Welkin In Genshin Impact: The Complete Step-by-Step Gifting Guide

Learn the exact technical steps required to safely gift the Blessing of the Welkin Moon to any Genshin Impact player using only their Unique Identification number (UID) and server region. This comprehensive guide outlines the official, developer-authorized payment channels that guarantee instant in-game delivery without risking account suspensions or compromising login security. Follow these verified procedures to complete your transaction securely and avoid common third-party top-up pitfalls.

Pre-Gifting Security and Account Requirements

Before initiating any transaction to gift the Blessing of the Welkin Moon, you must understand the security and technical frameworks governing HoYoverse account transactions. Unlike standard in-game gifting systems found in other multiplayer online games, Genshin Impact does not feature an in-game direct-gifting interface. To send a subscription to a friend, you must utilize authorized external merchant portals that integrate directly with the game database via secure Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

To protect both your financial data and the recipient's game account, never use unauthorized third-party marketplace websites that require you to share account passwords or login credentials. Doing so violates the HoYoverse Terms of Service, risks permanent account termination for the recipient, and exposes your payment details to fraud. Authorized platforms require only the recipient’s nine-digit User Identification (UID) number and their specific game server to route the purchase.

Essential Gifting Checklist

• Recipient Information: The correct nine-digit UID of the receiver (ensure you verify the first number of the UID, which indicates their server region: 6 for America, 7 for Europe, 8 for Asia, and 9 for TW/HK/MO).
• Active Game Server: The exact regional server where the recipient's character profile resides (America, Europe, Asia, or TW/HK/MO).
• Authorized Merchant Accounts: An active payment profile on official distribution channels such as Codashop, Razer Gold, or the official HoYoverse Top-Up Center.
• Accepted Payment Methods: A valid credit/debit card, PayPal account, digital wallet (such as Apple Pay or Google Pay), or regional mobile payment carrier.
• Estimated Budget: Approximately $4.99 USD (or local currency equivalent) per subscription.
• Transaction Duration: 1 to 5 minutes for processing and automated in-game delivery.

Step-by-Step Guide to Gifting Welkin Moon

The following procedures outline how to complete the purchase through the safest, developer-approved channels. These methods guarantee that the recipient receives 300 Genesis Crystals instantly upon their next login, alongside the 30-day daily claim of 90 Primogems, totaling 3,000 Primogems over the subscription period.

Step 1: Retrieve and Verify the Recipient's UID

Before navigating to any payment portal, you must obtain the recipient's UID. This number is located in the bottom right-hand corner of their game screen or inside their in-game Paimon Menu profile card.

• Request a screenshot of the profile card from your friend to avoid typographical errors.
• Confirm the server region. If a player is physically located in North America but plays on the Asia server, the purchase must be routed to the Asia server.
• Use an in-game search to double-check the player profile. Open your own friend list menu, select "Add Friend," type in their UID, and verify that the avatar and signature match your recipient's identity.

Step 2: Navigate to an Authorized Merchant Portal

Select one of the primary developer-authorized platforms. Codashop is widely considered the most accessible platform for immediate gifting as it does not require the gift-giver to log in to an account to make a purchase.

• Open your web browser and go to the official Codashop website or the Razer Gold web catalog.
• Select "Genshin Impact" from the available games list.
• Verify that you are on the localized version of the website that matches your payment currency.

Step 3: Input the Recipient's Game Account Parameters

On the selected platform's top-up page, you will see fields dedicated to user identification and item selection.

• Locate the "Enter UID" input field and type the recipient's nine-digit numerical ID.
• Select the correct dropdown value for the server region.
• Ensure that the validation tool (if available on the platform) displays the correct character nickname. This step acts as a final safeguard against sending the gift to an inactive or incorrect account.

Warning: If you input the wrong UID and the transaction processes successfully, the Welkin Moon subscription will be permanently bound to that incorrect account. Neither HoYoverse nor the payment merchant can transfer the subscription or issue a refund once the digital items are delivered to the game database.

Step 4: Choose the Blessing of the Welkin Moon and Select a Payment Method

Scroll down the page to view the catalog of available virtual items and payment integrations.

• Select "Blessing of the Welkin Moon" from the product selection grid. Do not select Genesis Crystals unless you wish to send raw currency instead of the daily subscription.
• Choose your preferred payment method from the list of secure processors. Codashop and Razer Gold support credit cards, debit cards, digital wallets, and local bank transfers depending on your region.
• Enter your email address in the receipt field. This is critical for receiving a transaction log and invoice, which serves as proof of purchase if a delivery delay occurs.

Step 5: Execute the Secure Transaction

Click the "Buy Now" or "Checkout" button to initiate the external payment gateway.

• Complete the multi-factor authentication steps required by your payment provider.
• Once the payment clears, the merchant’s API sends an instant write command to the HoYoverse game database.
• Save the transaction receipt and the order reference ID displayed on the confirmation screen.

Step 6: Verify Delivery and Confirm the Subscription Stack

Notify the recipient to log in to their Genshin Impact account to verify successful receipt of the gift.

• The recipient will receive an in-game notification and the 300 Genesis Crystals will immediately add to their character's balance.
• On their next daily login, the Welkin Moon animation will play, allowing them to claim their first batch of 90 Primogems.

Pro-Tip: Ask your friend to check their Welkin Moon menu interface. Genshin Impact allows players to stack up to 180 days of the Blessing of the Welkin Moon (6 separate subscriptions). If they already have 180 days active, gifting another subscription will immediately convert the purchase into 330 Genesis Crystals instead of adding another 30-day extension.

To help you choose the best payment channel, the following table compares authorized third-party merchants and the official HoYoverse store.

Troubleshooting Common Transaction Failures

Gifting digital assets can sometimes result in errors due to processing delays, network timeouts, or incorrect input variables. Use these diagnostic steps to resolve the most common issues.

Scenario 1: The recipient did not receive the subscription after payment completed

• Root Cause: There is a processing delay between the merchant payment gateway and the HoYoverse server synchronization, or the item was bought during peak server maintenance hours.
• Actionable Fix: Wait 15 to 30 minutes for the servers to sync. If the item is still not delivered, check your purchase receipt to ensure the UID and Server match the recipient's profile exactly. If they match, have the recipient check their total Genesis Crystal balance to see if the initial 300 crystals arrived silently. If the transaction still has not reflected in-game, contact the merchant's support channel (e.g., Codashop Help Center) with your transaction ID and a screenshot of your email receipt.

Scenario 2: The platform displays an "Invalid UID" or "User Not Found" error

• Root Cause: The UID was entered incorrectly, or the wrong server region was selected from the dropdown menu.
• Actionable Fix: Verify the first number of the UID. If the UID starts with "6" but the server region dropdown is set to "Europe," the verification system will fail. Change the server selection to match the corresponding prefix: America (6), Europe (7), Asia (8), or TW/HK/MO (9). Ensure no spaces or non-numerical characters are included in the search query.

Scenario 3: The gifted Welkin Moon was converted to flat Genesis Crystals

• Root Cause: The recipient already had 180 days or more of active Welkin Moon subscription days remaining on their account.
• Actionable Fix: No action is required to restore the daily claim. Because the game system prevents players from stacking more than 180 days of the active daily reward, it automatically safeguards the purchase by converting it into a flat value of 330 Genesis Crystals. Advise the recipient to spend down their remaining subscription days below 150 before you attempt to gift them another standard 30-day subscription pack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I gift Welkin Moon using the official Genshin Impact Top-Up Center?

Yes, you can use the official HoYoverse Top-Up Center, but it requires you to log in to an account first. If you log in with your own HoYoverse account, you can select the top-up option and input your friend's UID. Do not log in using your friend's credentials, as sharing account passwords violates safety protocols and terms of service.

Will my friend get banned if I gift them a Welkin Moon through Codashop?

No, your friend will not get banned. Codashop is an officially licensed and authorized global partner of HoYoverse. Because the transaction occurs via official API endpoints and is paid for in full with legitimate fiat currency, it is completely safe and fully recognized by the game developers.

Is it possible to gift Welkin Moon to a PlayStation player?

Yes, you can gift a Welkin Moon to a PlayStation (PS4 or PS5) player using their UID on Codashop or Razer Gold. However, the recipient must log in to their account on a PC or mobile device to see or spend the 300 Genesis Crystals included with the purchase, as crystals bought on third-party platforms do not sync directly to the PlayStation Store wallet. The 90 daily Primogems can still be claimed on any platform, including PlayStation.

What is the maximum number of Welkin Moons I can gift at one time?

You can gift multiple Welkin Moon packages sequentially, up to a maximum stack of 180 days (6 subscriptions) on the recipient's account. If you attempt to purchase a seventh subscription while they are at the 180-day limit, the purchase will process but will instantly convert into 330 Genesis Crystals instead of adding 30 more days of daily Primogems.
