how to gift an app from mac

We are trying to gift an app from the Mac to someone. Cannot figure out how to do this. Went to same Mac app link which showed in App Store on iPad and could not do it from there either.

iMac 24″, macOS 14.0

How to send a gift from your computer

  1. On your Mac, open the iTunes Store in the Apple Music app. Or on a PC, open iTunes.
  2. Find the item that you want to gift.
  3. Click the arrow button  next to the item's price to show sharing options.
  4. Choose Gift This [item type].
  5. Follow the onscreen instructions to personalize and send your gift.
  6. After the gift is sent, the recipient gets an email. When they open the email and click Redeem, the item automatically downloads to their device.


  • The recipient of your gift must have an Apple ID in your country or region. For example, if you're in the United States, you can't send a gift to a friend who lives in Australia.
