Prevent partial gift card payments on subscription renewals

Prevent a gift card balance from partially paying a subscription renewal. The customer’s balance must cover the full renewal total.

Note:

This is a Developer level doc. If you are unfamiliar working with code and resolving potential conflicts, we recommend you work with a Woo Agency Partner for larger projects, or find a WooCommerce developer on Codeable for smaller customizations. We are unable to provide support for customizations under our Support Policy.

Test custom code on a staging site before using it on your store. Add PHP to a custom plugin or a child theme’s functions.php file. If the file is already inside a PHP block, omit the opening PHP tag.

Install and activate WooCommerce Subscriptions and enable gift card balance for renewals in the store and for the subscription. By default, an available balance can cover part of a renewal, with the remainder paid through the subscription’s payment method. With this filter, the gift card balance is used only when it covers the full renewal total.

Add this filter:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_gc_wcs_renewals_allow_partial_payment', '__return_false' );

Test a renewal with a balance below the total and another with enough to cover it. Only the latter should use gift card balance.
