Why This Is Important
Are you leaving money on the table? According to recent e-commerce studies, over 65% of consumers have purchased a gift card, and stores that offer them see an average revenue increase of 5-10%. The pain of last-minute gift shopping is a universal experience, and gift cards are the perfect solution. Without a gift card option, you're not just losing a direct sale; you're losing the new customer that the gift card would have introduced to your brand. Furthermore, statistics show that 72% of customers spend MORE than the value of their gift card. By not implementing this feature, you miss out on guaranteed revenue, new customer acquisition, and increased average order value. This plugin directly solves that problem.

How can I track the usage and balance of issued gift cards?
The plugin includes a comprehensive management dashboard within your WordPress admin area. You can navigate to 'WooCommerce > Gift Cards' to view a complete list of all purchased gift cards, their initial value, current balance, expiration date, recipient info, and usage history.
Is it possible to create a physical, printable gift card design?
Yes, Woocommerce Gift Card Pro supports both digital and physical gift cards. You can create beautiful, printable PDF gift card templates. Customers can then download and print these to give as a physical gift, and they can be redeemed in-store (if applicable) using the QR code or unique card number.
Can I offer gift cards as a refund or store credit?
Yes, this is a powerful feature of the Pro version. From the admin dashboard, you can manually generate a gift card of any value and email it directly to a customer. This is an excellent way to handle refunds or issue store credit, keeping the revenue within your business and encouraging repeat purchases.
