Can I shop with a gift card if I only have a proof of purchase?

If you want to shop with a gift card, you need to present it at the time of purchase for it to be registered. Unfortunately, a proof of purchase cannot be used as a replacement for the gift card itself.

If you wish to use a gift card to pay for your purchase, you must present the card at the time of checkout for it to be properly applied. A proof of purchase, such as a receipt or order confirmation, cannot be used instead of the actual gift card.
