WooCommerce Gift Cards

WooCommerce Gift Cards (developed officially by Woo) empowers online store owners to sell multi-purpose digital gift certificates, drive upfront revenue, and attract new shoppers through word-of-mouth gifting. Customers can purchase prepaid cards with custom or fixed amounts, personalize their gift with a custom recipient message and cover image, and schedule delivery for holidays, birthdays, or special occasions. With robust account balance tracking, multi-card redemptions at checkout, and detailed admin balance reporting, this extension turns gifting into a friction-free revenue stream.

Main Features

• Digital gift card product type — Create dedicated prepaid digital gift card products with fixed denominations or open-ended custom price limits.
• Personalized gifting options — Allow buyers to specify recipient emails, sender names, custom gift messages, and select design template artwork.
• Scheduled email delivery — Let customers choose an exact future delivery date and time so gifts arrive precisely on birthdays or holidays.
• Account dashboard balance tracking — Registered users can add, store, manage, and monitor their active gift card balances directly inside their "My Account" area.
• Partial balance redemptions — Automatically deduct purchase amounts from the active card balance, retaining remaining funds for future checkouts.
• Multi-card stacking at checkout — Allow shoppers to combine and redeem multiple gift cards in a single transaction alongside standard coupon codes.
• Admin issuance & balance adjustments — Generate free promotional gift cards, refund store credit directly to card codes, or modify balances manually from the dashboard.
