Photo: SpotOn / Unsplash [Coupang](https://giftcard.news/company/coupang/) announced physical Coupang and Coupang Eats gift-card sales through [GS25](https://giftcard.news/company/gs25/) on 23 September 2026, adding another retail purchase route and support for credit-card funding. The initial rollout covers Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon, with nationwide expansion planned during October.[ \[1\]](https://giftcard.news/gift-cards/coupang-gs25-gift-cards-credit-card-funding/#article-source-1)[ \[4\]](https://giftcard.news/gift-cards/coupang-gs25-gift-cards-credit-card-funding/#article-source-4) ## GS25 adds funding choice to the established physical-card range At GS25, buyers can select a value from KRW10,000 to KRW300,000 in KRW1,000 increments. Coupang names Samsung, KB Kookmin, Shinhan, Hana and BC as supported credit-card issuers, extending an offline process it says had previously been cash-only. The announcement does not specify installment terms, card-reward eligibility or a fee schedule.[ \[1\]](https://giftcard.news/gift-cards/coupang-gs25-gift-cards-credit-card-funding/#article-source-1) The data behind the story ### Coupang gift values published for three purchase channels Channel-specific published ranges show that GS25 uses the same physical-card limits announced for Seven-Eleven, while the earlier Kakao Gifting release listed a lower ceiling.

Its 31 August 2025 Kakao Gifting announcement had described a KRW10,000–KRW200,000 digital selection. These dated terms help distinguish the new distribution and funding route from the launch of the underlying gift-card programme.[ \[2\]](https://giftcard.news/gift-cards/coupang-gs25-gift-cards-credit-card-funding/#article-source-2)[ \[3\]](https://giftcard.news/gift-cards/coupang-gs25-gift-cards-credit-card-funding/#article-source-3) Recipients register the physical card in Coupang’s app and convert its value into Coupang Cash for purchases across Coupang services, including Coupang Eats. The earlier physical-card release specifies five years of validity after registration. September’s release also refers to physical cards sold through Rocket Delivery in the preceding month.[ \[1\]](https://giftcard.news/gift-cards/coupang-gs25-gift-cards-credit-card-funding/#article-source-1)[ \[2\]](https://giftcard.news/gift-cards/coupang-gs25-gift-cards-credit-card-funding/#article-source-2) The roughly 18,000 GS25 stores cited by Coupang describe the chain’s potential distribution network. The announcement and Yonhap’s report both describe a regional start followed by planned expansion; neither provides a store-by-store confirmation that every branch stocked the cards, nor sales or redemption totals.[ \[1\]](https://giftcard.news/gift-cards/coupang-gs25-gift-cards-credit-card-funding/#article-source-1)[ \[4\]](https://giftcard.news/gift-cards/coupang-gs25-gift-cards-credit-card-funding/#article-source-4) ## In this article ### Companies * [Coupang](https://giftcard.news/company/coupang/) * [GS25](https://giftcard.news/company/gs25/) ### Sources and documents * [\[S01\] Original primary announcement](https://news.coupang.com/archives/66970/?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news) — Coupang * [Physical gift-card launch through Seven-Eleven, 31 March 2026](https://news.coupang.com/archives/60653/?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news) — Coupang * [Kakao Gifting and B2B channel announcement, 31 August 2025](https://news.coupang.com/archives/55976/?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news) — Coupang * [Reporting on the GS25 launch, 23 September 2026](https://www.yna.co.kr/amp/view/AKR20260923077700030?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news) — Yonhap News Agency Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fcoupang-gs25-gift-cards-credit-card-funding%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=Coupang+adds+GS25+gift-card+sales+with+credit-card+funding&utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fcoupang-gs25-gift-cards-credit-card-funding%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=Coupang+adds+GS25+gift-card+sales+with+credit-card+funding+https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fcoupang-gs25-gift-cards-credit-card-funding%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news&utm%5Fcampaign=giftcard.news "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Suzie Elis](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/suzie-elis-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Suzie Elis](https://giftcard.news/author/suzie-elis/) Journalist — Gift Cards & Digital Gifting Suzie Elis covers gift card products, digital gifting and distribution for Gift Card News.
