Today I’m going to show you how to use vouchers on OPay. Think of a voucher like a special ticket that gives you free money or discounts. It’s really cool, and I’ll help you understand how to use it.

How To Use Voucher On Opay In Nigeria
To use a voucher on Opay in Nigeria, open the app and go to the “Recharge” or “Voucher” section. Enter the code from your voucher, and the value will be added to your Opay account. You can then use the balance for payments or other services within the app.
What’s an OPay Voucher?
An OPay voucher is like having a digital coupon on your phone. When you want to buy airtime or send money to someone, these vouchers can help you spend less money.
It’s just like when your mom uses a coupon at the store to get a discount, but this one lives in your phone!
Getting Your Hands on OPay Vouchers
For New Users
When you first start using OPay, they’ll give you a welcome gift – your very first voucher! It’s their way of saying “thank you” for joining. You’ll see this voucher right in your OPay app when you create your account.
From Your Friends
Your friends who already use OPay can share their special code with you. When you use their code to sign up, both of you get vouchers. It’s like getting a present and giving one at the same time!
What You Do | What You Get |
Sign up with a friend’s code | Free ₦200 voucher |
Make your first payment | Another ₦100 voucher |
Finding Your Vouchers in the App
Let me show you where your vouchers live in the OPay app:
- Open your OPay app
- Look at the bottom of the screen
- Tap on “Me”
- Look for “My Vouchers”
That’s where all your vouchers will be waiting for you. Each voucher will tell you how much money it’s worth and when you need to use it by.
Using Your Voucher to Save Money
Now comes the fun part – using your voucher to save money! Here’s what happens when you want to use a voucher:
When Buying Airtime
Let’s say you want to buy phone airtime. Start by choosing “Buy Airtime” in your app. Before you pay, you’ll see an option that says “Use Voucher.” Tap on it to pick which voucher you want to use. The app will take money off your payment right away!
When Sending Money
If you’re sending money to someone, the steps are just as easy. Start your money transfer like normal. Before you finish paying, look for “Use Voucher” at the bottom of your screen. Pick your voucher, and you’ll spend less money on sending charges.
What You’re Doing | Where to Look for Voucher Option |
Buying Airtime | Bottom of screen before paying |
Sending Money | Payment screen, near the bottom |
Important Things to Know
Keep These in Mind
Your vouchers are like movie tickets – they have an expiry date. Make sure to use them before they run out! Also, each voucher usually works only once, so choose when to use it wisely.
When Things Go Wrong
Sometimes your voucher might not work right away. Here’s what you can do:
- Close your app and open it again
- Make sure you have internet
- Check if the voucher is still good to use
- Update your OPay app if it’s old
Making Your Vouchers Work Better
Want to get the most out of your vouchers? Here are some friendly tips:
First, always check when your voucher will expire. It’s like checking the expiry date on a juice box – you don’t want it to go bad before you use it!
Second, try to use your vouchers for bigger payments. This way, you save more money. For example, if you have a ₦100 discount voucher, using it when you’re sending ₦1000 is better than using it for sending ₦200.
