Automatically redeem gift cards for signed-in customers

Redeem a gift card to the account of a signed-in customer who enters its code at checkout. Guests can still apply cards without redeeming them to an account.

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.

When a signed-in customer enters a gift card code using the classic checkout form, this filter redeems the card to their account. Guests can still apply gift cards without redeeming them to an account. The filter does not require guests to create an account.

Add this filter:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_gc_auto_redeem', '__return_true' );
