Can I use Apple Store or retail store gift cards to add money to my Apple ID?

No, it is not possible to directly use Apple Store or retail store gift cards to add money to your Apple Pay. Apple has separate gift cards for the App Store and iTunes Store, which can be used for purchases within these platforms. However, if you have an Apple Store or retail store gift card, you can still utilize it in various ways.

These gift cards can be used to purchase physical products from an Apple retail store or online at the official website. Additionally, they can be employed towards financing a new product through the Apple Upgrade Program. Furthermore, if you have funds on an Apple Store or retail store gift card that you wish to transfer to your Apple ID balance, you can exchange them for an App Store or iTunes Store gift card through the self-service Gift Card Exchange Program provided by certain retailers authorized by Apple.
