WooCommerce Gift Cards with Built-In Wallet Passes.
GiftRocketWP lets customers buy a gift card, personalise it and send it now or on a date they pick. PDF cards, QR codes and barcodes, scheduled delivery and Apple & Google Wallet passes are in the free plugin. Pro adds AI writing, SMS delivery, top-ups and more.
A Real Gift Card, Not a Coupon Workaround
A gift card is prepaid stored value with a balance. A coupon is a discount. GiftRocketWP gives you a gift card product with codes, balances and delivery built for gifting.
Coupons used as gift cards
The usual workaround
- A discount, not stored value: the customer gets a code, but nothing tracks a balance as a gift card.
- No gift card product: no amounts, recipient, message or design for the buyer to choose.
- Manual delivery: you usually send the code yourself, with no scheduled date, PDF or wallet pass.
- Refunds are awkward: a coupon has no balance, so a refund cannot return money to it.
GiftRocketWP for WooCommerce
A gift card product built for gifting
- Balance that carries over: use part of a card now and keep the rest for the next order.
- A gift card product type: preset or custom amounts, recipient, sender, message and a design gallery with live preview.
- Delivery done for you: email now or on a scheduled date, as a PDF with a QR code, barcode or wallet pass.
- Refunds restore the card: "Restore to gift card" returns the amount on a partial refund (since 1.1.3).
One Gift Card, Three Ways to Keep It
Recipients get a branded email, and your store decides how the card looks: a PDF, a scannable code, or a pass in their phone wallet. All three are in the free plugin.
Printable PDF cards built with dompdf, with layouts and styling you control. The PDF can carry a QR code, barcode or PDF417 code.
Show the card code as a QR code, a barcode or a PDF417 code, so it is easy to scan or type at redemption.
Wallet passes are created through ePasscard with your own API key. ePasscard is free for up to 50 live passes, then paid. GiftToWallet is available as an alternative through its add-on.
Try the Gift Card Customizer
This is a demo of what customers see on a gift card product page: choose an amount, pick a design, add a message and watch the card preview update. It is not connected to a store.
GiftRocketWP Gift Card
Pro adds buyer image upload, greeting presets and an AI writing assistant for the message.
Redeem at Cart or Checkout
Customers apply a gift card at the cart or checkout, on classic pages and the Cart and Checkout Blocks. Any balance left stays on the card.
Apply it at cart or checkout
The customer enters the gift card code at the cart or checkout. Classic pages and the Cart and Checkout Blocks both work.
Or share a link that applies it
Apply by URL: a link carries the code to the cart, so the recipient does not have to type it.
The balance carries over
If the order is smaller than the balance, the rest stays on the card for the next order. Pro lets the buyer choose how much to redeem.
Refunds restore the card
On a partial refund, "Restore to gift card" returns the amount to the card (since 1.1.3). A failed payment releases a held balance after a reservation window (24 hours by default).
