Buy from Kakao Gift Korea — Korean Gifting Made Easy for Foreigners
Send the most popular Korean gifts through Kakao Gift — we navigate the KakaoTalk platform for foreigners and deliver in Korea.
Kakao Gift (카카오 선물하기) is Korea's dominant gifting platform, embedded directly within KakaoTalk — the messaging app used by virtually every person in Korea. It allows users to send e-vouchers, physical products, coffee coupons, food deliveries and brand gifts to any KakaoTalk contact with a few taps. For foreigners in Korea — or those wanting to send thoughtful Korean gifts to friends in the country — Kakao Gift holds an enormous and uniquely local selection of gift options that have no equivalent outside Korea.
The platform is deeply integrated with KakaoTalk accounts and Korean phone verification, making it essentially inaccessible to foreigners who don't have a Korean number or KakaoTalk account registered under one. Order in Korea works around this — we can purchase Kakao Gift physical products through our verified Korean account and deliver them to your recipient's Korean address, so you can share the gifting experience without needing a Korean phone number.
Why ordering from Kakao Gift is hard for foreigners
Requires a KakaoTalk account with Korean verification
Kakao Gift is integrated into KakaoTalk and requires a valid Korean mobile number to register and verify an account. Foreigners without a Korean SIM card cannot access the platform to browse or purchase gifts.
Korean-only product catalogue and platform
The entire Kakao Gift platform — brand listings, gift categories, product descriptions and gifting process — is in Korean. Foreign users who somehow gain access still face a fully Korean interface with no translation support.
E-vouchers and digital gifts require Korean recipients
Many Kakao Gift items are digital vouchers sent via KakaoTalk, which can only be redeemed by KakaoTalk users in Korea. For foreigners wanting to send a physical item, the checkout and delivery setup is still restricted to domestic Korean use.
How Order in Korea solves it
We purchase through a verified Korean account
Order in Korea holds verified KakaoTalk and Korean payment credentials, allowing us to access Kakao Gift's full catalogue and complete purchases that foreigners cannot process independently.
We translate and confirm your gift selection
We read the Korean product descriptions and confirm the gift options — flavours, sizes, brand, validity — before placing your order, so there is no confusion about what is being sent.
Physical gifts delivered to any Korean address
For physical Kakao Gift products, we receive or arrange delivery to the recipient's address in Korea — a friend's home, a hotel, or any valid Korean delivery address — and communicate with couriers in Korean.
