Gift Cards for WooCommerce Pro

The Complete Gift Card Solution for WooCommerce

Gift Cards for WooCommerce is a full-featured gift card plugin that lets you sell, manage, and deliver gift cards directly from your WooCommerce store. Whether you want to boost sales during the holiday season, reward loyal customers, or offer store credit – this plugin handles everything in one place, with no add-ons or upsells required.

From the moment a customer lands on your product page to the moment they redeem their card at checkout, every step is smooth, beautiful, and automatic.

A Buying Experience Customers Will Love

Your customers deserve more than a plain code in an email. Gift Cards includes a live card designer powered by the HTML5 Canvas API, so buyers can personalise their gift card in real time before purchase. They can pick from 8 built-in design templates, write a personal message, and see exactly what the recipient will receive – all before clicking “Add to Cart”.

Once purchased, the gift card is delivered by email automatically. Customers can also schedule delivery for a future date – perfect for birthdays and anniversaries – so the card lands in the recipient’s inbox at exactly the right moment.

Powerful Admin Tools Built Right In

Managing your gift card programme is just as easy. The admin dashboard gives you a live overview of all key metrics – total cards issued, balance in circulation, cards sold today, and cards expiring soon. Every gift card can be managed individually with inline quick-actions: activate, disable, top up, extend expiry, resend, or delete – all without leaving the page.

Need to issue cards in bulk for a campaign or corporate order? The Bulk Generate tool lets you create up to 1,000 gift cards in one click. You can also import cards from a CSV file and export your entire gift card list at any time.

Secure Balance Engine – No Double Spending, Ever

Every balance operation in Gift Cards uses atomic database transactions with row-level locking. This is the same technique used by payment processors, and it means two orders can never deduct from the same card at the same time. Every debit, credit, and transfer is logged in a full audit trail so you always have a clear picture of where every cent went.

Flexible Redemption at Cart and Checkout

Customers can apply their gift card code directly at the cart or checkout page. Partial redemption is supported – if the card balance is less than the order total, the customer simply pays the difference. Multiple gift cards can be applied to a single order. Everything works seamlessly with WooCommerce’s native cart and checkout, including the new Block Checkout and High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).

Automate Your Gift Card Programme

With the built-in Automation Rules engine, you can automatically issue gift cards when a customer completes a purchase or creates a new account. Set the trigger, set the card value, and the plugin takes care of the rest – no manual work required.
