  1. Hello Ahmad, how can I get rid of the shippingcosts when a customer buys a giftcard? Is there another way then offering a coupon for free shipping?
    Thanks so much!

  2. I can’t seem to get this gift card to cover tax & shipping. Is there a way to ensure that the entire cost of the product is covered with this gift card (assuming of course there is sufficient funds on the GC)

    1. Tax and shipping cost were not covered by gift card initially but due to multiple requests, we are going to update that and gift card discount will cover tax and shipping costs. The next update will be released within next 48 hours.

  3. Hello Ahmad,
    We are trying to configure some products and we are having several problems.
    How can we set a product as payment pending before the code was sent to the recipient? And, if some wants to use a code for 100$ in a product valued in 50$ how can we configure the product to be avaliable for as many uses as the total ammount?

    1. 1: By default, when order status becomes processing (either via successful payment at checkout or manually change at the backend), it sends the gift code to recipient.

      2: This feature is available in pro version which is in final stages of testing and will be out in few days.

    1. You can change all frontend labels in pro version. If your site is multilingual, you’ll need to leave all fields empty in the plugin settings and translate each string manually by using any translation plugin such as loco translate.

    1. On free version, it is a one time use but on pro version, it can be used multiple times if the order amount is less than the gift card amount. In pro version, there is a shortcode that you can place on any page and your customer will be able to check remaining amount on gift card.

    1. Hello,

      Yes, it includes lifetime updates and can install and use on unlimited number of websites.

      There is 7 days money back guarantee if there is something missing or not working that we advertised.

  4. Hello Ahmad, how do I modify the template, with the image of the actual gift card and to center the text ? And to take off the image of the little pink gift ? Thanking you

    1. Hello, you need to modify the PHP template. Create a PHP file in a following path in your active theme:
      /woo-giftcards/woo-giftcards-email-template.php

      Then you can copy woo-giftcards-email-template.php from plugin and modify according to your needs.

  5. Hello Ahmad, I have another question which may be useful for someone else here.
    The value of the gift card sent to the destinataire includes the shipping costs of his/her order ? So, if the person receives a 30 dollars gift card, he only has 22 dollars to spend on it, the rest being shipping costs for his order ?
    Thank you for your reply;

  6. Hi there, I’m hoping to use this plugin. Can you tell me if a person buys a gift card from my site for say €50 that the recipient will receive a gift card for that €50, not €50 minus the tax?
