GiftCraft - Gift Cards for WooCommerce

Gift cards they will love to receive.

GiftCraft adds a Gift card product to WooCommerce. Customers choose the amount and the design, write a message, see the card change as they type and pick the day it arrives in the recipient's inbox. The recipient spends it online or in your store, in one go or bit by bit, and you see every movement.

No license key, no external services, no tracking. Gift cards live in your own database with an exact balance and a full history.

Features

• The gift card product: Fixed amounts (25, 50, 100…), a custom amount with minimum and maximum, or both; Extra value promotions: pay 50, give a 55 card (percentage or fixed); Live preview of the card on the product page: amount, design, recipient and message; 12 designs included (birthday, thank you, love, holidays, wedding, new baby, seasons…), hide the ones you do not want, add your own images; Four ways to deliver: email it to someone, send it to me, physical card shipped with the order, top up a card I already have; Expiry per product or for the whole shop, or no expiry; Several cards for different people in one order
• Delivery: Email now or on the date the customer chooses (up to one year ahead), at 8:00 in your time zone; The card image inside the email, the code as text and a printable A4 PDF with a QR code; The buyer is told when the card has been delivered; Physical cards: the store receives the PDF to print and put in the parcel; Every email is a WooCommerce email: change subject, heading, colours and sender in WooCommerce → Settings → Emails, or override the templates in your theme; Send again from the admin, optionally to a new address; every send is in the card history
• Paying with gift cards: "Have a gift card?" in the cart and checkout, for the Cart and Checkout blocks and the classic shortcodes; Taken from the total after taxes and shipping, like a payment: tax reports stay correct; Partial use: the rest stays on the card for later orders; the holder gets an email with the balance left; Up to 5 cards in one order; orders fully paid with gift cards need no payment method; Codes work in upper or lower case, with or without dashes; The balance is taken in one database step when the order is placed, so a card can never be spent twice, even with two orders in the same second; Cancelled, failed or refunded orders give the money back to the card automatically; partial refunds with one click; Gift card lines in the order totals: thank-you page, emails, My Account and the admin
• Redeem in your store: A counter screen: type the code, use a USB scanner or scan the QR code with the camera of a phone, tablet or laptop; Charge any amount or top up a card; add the ticket number as a note; "Gift card cashier" role: staff can use this screen and nothing else; REST API (giftcraft/v1) to look up, charge and top up cards from a till or an app with Application Passwords
• Managing gift cards: Dashboard: sold, outstanding balance, redeemed, top-ups and expired, a 12-month chart and recent activity; List with search (code or its last characters, email, name, order) and filters: active, used, expiring soon, scheduled, expired, disabled; Card page: balance, history of every movement with who and when, change the balance with a reason, disable lost cards, change expiry or delivery date, download the PDF; Moving the expiry date of an expired card forward gives its balance back; Create one card or up to 500 at once for prizes, refunds or corporate orders; download the codes; Import cards from CSV (from another system or printed elsewhere); export every card to CSV, protected against spreadsheet formulas
• For your customers: My Account → Gift cards: cards bought and received, balance, history, PDF, add a card received on paper; Balance checker: a block and the shortcode ; Expiry reminder emails before a card with balance expires; Loyalty reward: a gift card after a number of orders or an amount spent
• Safe by design: Long random codes without ambiguous characters (16 characters by default, 12–24, your own prefix); Guessing blocked: a limit of wrong codes per visitor; Gift cards cannot buy other gift cards (optional); Exported and anonymised by the WordPress privacy tools; Cards and balances are kept when the plugin is deleted, unless you choose otherwise
• Compatible: High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and classic storage; Cart and Checkout blocks and classic checkout; Block themes and classic themes; Multisite, translation ready (Spanish included); WP-CLI commands, PHP functions and hooks for developers
