Create a Gift Card – Frontend

A gift card option is displayed for customers. On the backend, admins choose where to display the card for sale (product pages, catalog options).

The customer can:

• Select a fixed or custom amount from a dropdown menu
• Share email information for recipients (email validation is needed)
• Compose a custom message for recipients or use template text

Create a Gift Card – Backend

To launch a gift card product the admin:

• Chooses «Gift Card» as the product type from «Product data»
• Specifies the gift card price or prices available

Under configuration the admin selects:

• Order status (when the gift card should be sent)
• Gift Card expiration date
• Gift Card code pattern

Purchase a Gift Card

The customer can purchase a gift card like any other product. At checkout in addition to the standard WooCommerce billing details, the “Gift Card information” field is displayed. The customer can review their gift card purchase here and edit it.

Email notifications are sent after each gift card purchase. Gift cards can be redeemed immediately.

After the purchase, admins can review the details of the purchase, on the «Gift Card Codes» grid on the Backend. This dashboard allows the admin to closely examine each purchase by clicking on its «Code Number.»

“My Gift Cards” tab in My

 Account

The customer can add multiple gift cards and monitor their balance and expiration dates in the “My Gift Cards” tab in My Account. This helps to plan purchases and not to waste card balances.

Apply gift card balances to order subtotals in the cart and at checkout

And the final stage – applying the Gift Card. It takes a few steps:

1. To apply the gift card to the cart total the customer can either fill out the “Enter gift card code” input and click the “Apply” button or if the customer already has a gift card balance, he can check the “Use Gift Card Balance” checkbox and apply it. Note: Gift Cards balances pay shipping and taxes.

The gift card can be used on the cart page or the checkout page.
