Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce gift cards” for “gift card”. “woocommerce gift cards” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “gift card” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

0.5%

of downloads still active

At least 100 of 21.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,167 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 13 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    Thank you for this wonderful plugin. I suggest adding (maybe in a PRO version) an option to send the store credit directly to the buyer, rather than only to the beneficiary. Example scenario:You sell 10 products, each priced at 30 USD. Instead of purchasing each item separately, a customer could buy a 250 USD credit and use it over time to purchase all 10 products. In total, they would receive products worth 300 USD while paying only 250 USD. Technically, this can already be achieved by creating a credit product priced at 300 USD and applying a standard WooCommerce coupon of 50 USD at checkout. However, this setup only works if the buyer and the credit recipient are the same person. To make the system more flexible, it would be helpful to include an option allowing the credit to be automatically assigned to (or emailed to) the buyer’s email address, rather than requiring a separate recipient. I hope it’s clear and helps. Best regards Jose

    Very useful plugin that does what it says. So far there have been no conflicts with Avada or WooCommerce. This plugin makes it super easy to give customers store credit they can use over time instead of all at once. My only wish is that I could show the balance remaining on any page with a shortcode or some other method, as I don’t use the default WooCommerce Dashboard. But that’s a tradeoff I’m happy to make for a free plugin. Thank you so much! This topic was modified 9 months, 3 weeks ago by Kim.

    I can’t seem to get the plugin to work correctly. I have added the coupon and sent it to my client, but when they apply it to their order it does not deduct any money from the total due.

    FINAL UPDATE: The developer Pi Web reached out (thank you!) and provided a better understanding of how the plugin works. I am thrilled to report it is working very well! Here is a short guide on how to install and use: Install and activate the plugin as per their instructions, like any plugin. Go to Coupons under Marketing to create a coupon Under Discount Type select “Store Credit” Under “Coupon Restrictions” add the customer’s email address so it only applies to that account. Add amount, expiration, other restrictions, etc and save Go back to the “Coupon Restrictions” and click the send email button. Using MailPoet as the mailing plugin the emails are sent under the website name. >>>>> Using WP mail (default) the emails were sent from WP mail service without the site’s name, the sender was WordPress. Not sure it matters to you.<<<<< I hope this helps someone else, and the dev team. Thank you very much for an excellent plugin. I highly recommend it. ——————– UPDATE: Unfortunately, I have to change my review. It creates the credit but does not send emails. It has been over 48 hours and no email received on my test account. I opened a thread in the forum, waiting for a reply there. ——————- This plugin works really well. Follow the screenshots for instructions on how to se up a credit and you will be very happy with it. Now I’m waiting for the email notification. Hopefully it will arrive shortly. I’m impressed! This topic was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by acquamarina.

    Hi, I coded a similar plugin to yours and was hoping that yours would help me solve a few missing things in mine regarding taxes and additional fees. I’m a shop in Europe, and here we always show prices inclusive of taxes. Additionally, the whole concept of my store is to sell products in containers that are returnable/refundable. If you buy a jar of nuts, I’ll charge you 1€, untaxed, that you get back when you return the jar and I update your coupon. We also have two types of taxes over here, 9% for food, 21% for the rest (and I sell both). I noticed that: your coupon applies to the price before taxes, which means that in the front end, people will see that it reduced the price by 5€, but the coupon will only be deduced by like 4.5€. it does not apply to additional fees. my biggest problem: it applies like regular coupons, which means it lowers the price of each product instead of applying a discount to the final price (like a negative additional fee). Which means that the taxes are also effectively reduced; not a problem for the customer, but a big problem for me because with my whole system of deposit/return that means I’m basically doing tax evasion! It’s a big issue for me and I’ve been trying to wrap my head around that for months. I know my case is quite specific, but that means I cannot use your plugin. I also concur with someone else’s suggestion about being able to modify the coupon value manually. Thank you for your work!

    There are basically no options in the settings. There is no way to add credit to a customer’s account. Unfortunately the plugin is useless without this.
