Gift Rocket Roadmap
We're building the most advanced WooCommerce gift card ecosystem. Below you'll find planned features, research initiatives, and long-term ideas. Nothing is set in stone — we prioritize based on feedback.
Redemption Rewards In development
ETA: Q3 2026Promotional discounts or free shipping automatically applied when customers pay with a Gift Rocket gift card. Increases gift card usage and customer loyalty.
Product Gifting Planned
Q4 2026Allow customers to buy regular WooCommerce products as gifts with recipient flows (name, message, delayed delivery). Turn any product into a giftable item.
PDF & Email Designer Polish Planned
Q4 2026Extended design controls (drag-and-drop email builder, dynamic PDF themes, font picker, custom watermarks). Curated card and PDF theme packs.
Analytics & Marketing Events Research
H1 2027Built-in analytics dashboard: redemption rates, card usage, balance left. Marketing automation triggers (when gift card received, redeemed, or balance low) for email/SMS campaigns.
Headless & Store API Deepening Research
2027Beyond current wc/v3 REST endpoints: full GraphQL support, webhooks for gift card lifecycle, deeper WooCommerce Store API patterns for headless stores.
Role‑based Purchase Limits & B2B Rules Long‑term
2027+Set gift card purchase limits per user role, approve bulk corporate gift card orders, B2B wholesale gifting, and approval workflows.
POS & Gateway Companion Long‑term
