What happens if the giftee of a renewable gift is already a registered user?

Giftees who were already registered in Piano upon the gift purchase will redeem their access automatically and receive a gift delivery email. No manual redemption action is required from the giftee in this case.

The system sends a dedicated Renewable gift subscription activated automatically email to the giftee to confirm that their gift access has been activated.

This differs from the standard redemption flow for unregistered users, where the giftee must click a link in the gift delivery email and proceed through the redemption page.
