Sending Gifts (Parents)
UniGifts lets you reward your child’s effort with a real, funded gift that goes toward their UniMatrix access. This page is the parent-side walkthrough; for how gifts work overall, see UniGifts.
How to send a gift
Section titled “How to send a gift”-

The full gift catalogue and pricing
Section titled “The full gift catalogue and pricing”| Tier | Price | UniLearn gift | UniSkills gift |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spark | ₵35 | Mini Eraser | USB Drive |
| Bronze | ₵100 | Pencil Set | Code Badge |
| Silver | ₵200 | Fountain Pen | Mechanical Keyboard Cap |
| Gold | ₵350 | Hardcover Notebook | Developer Notebook |
| Platinum | ₵500 | Textbook Collection | Gold Circuit Board |
The value your child can redeem is 90% of the gift price (UniMatrix retains a 10% platform fee). For example, a ₵200 Silver gift redeems to ₵180 of real cash value.
The under-18 redemption approval flow
Section titled “The under-18 redemption approval flow”Safety comes first for younger learners. When your child is under 18, they cannot cash out a gift on their own — redemption creates a request that you approve as the linked guardian. So your child gets all the recognition and encouragement of the gift, while you stay in control of the real-money step. You’ll see redemption requests to approve in your Parent Portal.
Approving a redemption and getting paid
Section titled “Approving a redemption and getting paid”When you approve your child’s redemption, the money is paid to your own verified account — you then pass it on to your child however you choose. The first time, you’ll add a payout account:
-
Tap “Approve & Send” on the pending redemption.
-
Add your payout account (one-time)
Choose Mobile Money (MTN, Vodafone/Telecel, AirtelTigo) or Bank, pick the provider, and enter your number/account. We verify the account holder’s name with the provider.
-
Name check
The account must be in your own name — payouts can only go to an account that matches your profile name. This protects your family from money going to the wrong place.
-
Sent
The transfer goes out and usually arrives shortly. You’ll get a branded email receipt with the amount, the gift, and a reference.
There’s a small minimum payout (currently ₵20) so tiny redemptions aren’t eaten by transfer fees — every gift tier is comfortably above it. Your saved payout account is reused for future approvals.
Adult learners (18+) don’t need this step — they add their own account and are paid directly.
Gift confidentiality rules
Section titled “Gift confidentiality rules”Gifting is designed to feel personal and respectful. Your personal note and the gift you send are presented to your child as a personal moment, and the system is built to keep family gifting appropriately private within your family’s space rather than broadcast. Send what you mean to send, to the child you mean to send it to.
