How to Use a Gift Activation Code on Homture Frame

A Gift Activation Code is one of the most thoughtful features on the Homture digital photo frame. It lets you set up a personalized gift experience from anywhere — even before the frame arrives at the recipient's door. This guide explains how to create, share, and use a Gift Activation Code.

What Is a Gift Activation Code?

A Gift Activation Code is a unique code generated in the Homture app that links a personalized gift setup to a specific frame. As the app describes it:

The code is valid for 30 days from the time it's created. When the recipient enters the code on their frame, it unlocks the personalized photo, video, and message you prepared for them.

How to Create a Gift Activation Code

1. Open the Homture app on your phone.
2. Start a new frame setup and tap "Someone else" when asked who the frame is for.
3. Enter the recipient's name.
4. When prompted to choose a pairing method, select "Create Gift Activation Code".
5. Add a personal photo or video and write a message.
6. The app generates your unique Gift Activation Code.

Once the code is generated, you'll see a confirmation: "Code copied — ready to link!"

How to Share the Code

The Homture app provides a ready-made share template you can send directly to the recipient:

You can share this via text message, WhatsApp, email, or any messaging platform. The recipient will need this code when they set up their frame.

What the Recipient Does

When the recipient receives the frame and is ready to set it up:

1. Power on the Homture frame.
2. Connect to WiFi following the on-screen instructions.
3. When prompted, select "Enter Gift Activation Code".
4. Type in the code you shared with them.
5. The frame unlocks and displays your personalized photo and message.

Code Expiry and Renewal

Gift Activation Codes are valid for 30 days from creation. If the recipient tries to use an expired code, they'll see:

If this happens, simply open the Homture app, go back to the gift setup for that frame, and generate a new code. The personalized message and photo you set up are saved, so you won't need to redo the personalization — just share the new code with the recipient.
