PW WooCommerce Gift Cards Pro lets a WooCommerce store sell digital gift cards as products. Buyers select a preset amount, enter the recipient’s email address, and can add a personal message. When custom amounts are enabled, buyers can enter an amount within the store’s minimum and maximum; the store can also preselect a default amount.

From purchase email to checkout

The recipient receives an email with the gift card code. They can click its link to add the card to the cart automatically, or enter the number on the cart or checkout page. Gift cards are not tied to a specific account, so recipients can redeem them as guests. The balance is applied after tax, and the updated balance appears on the cart and checkout pages.

Delivery can be scheduled for a chosen time. Recipients can view the card as a PDF for printing, and a QR code can be included in the email, the PDF, or both. Gift card emails use WooCommerce’s email template system; the enhanced email designer adds customization settings, including an image. Bonus Gift Cards can add another card to a purchase, such as a $5 card with a $25 card.

Check and manage card balances

A shortcode can create a customer-facing page for checking balances. Customers can also add funds to existing cards from the Check Balance page. Stores can optionally configure the existing Apply Coupon field to accept gift card numbers.

In the administration area, store staff can review total gift card liability, inspect individual cards, and adjust balances. Import and export utilities help move balances. For physical cards, existing card numbers and balances can be imported. Administrators can also manually generate multiple cards in one step by specifying an amount and quantity. Expiration dates can be set automatically based on the purchase date.

Set up the WooCommerce workflow

Setup includes one-click creation of the gift card product, which can then be customized for the store’s amounts, delivery, email presentation, balance options, expiration dates, and other Pro options. The extension works with classic and WooCommerce Blocks Cart and Checkout pages, and works with High Performance Order Storage (HPOS). It is compatible with most extensions, including WooCommerce Subscriptions and WooCommerce Pre-Orders, and follows WordPress and WooCommerce REST API standards.
