GIFT VOUCHERS

Gift vouchers in WooCommerce: sales, PDF by email and a code in the cart.

A voucher is a product the customer buys and the recipient uses across several orders until the balance runs out. I set up voucher sales in WooCommerce: the code and PDF arrive by email, the code works in the cart and at checkout, and the look and wording fit your brand. We agree the rules (validity, refunds, what the voucher works for) together.

I build this to order, around your rules. Describe your project and I will reply with questions and a preliminary quote, usually within one business day.

WHEN IT HELPS

A discount code is not a voucher

Typical problems when vouchers are handled by hand or with a discount code.

  • A discount code instead of a balance

    An ordinary coupon does not keep the unused amount, so part of the value is lost or has to be calculated by hand.

  • Vouchers issued by hand

    Someone creates a PDF, sends it to the customer and tracks codes in a spreadsheet.

  • Refunds and payment errors

    When an order with a voucher is refunded or left unpaid, the balance has to come back, not vanish.

  • The voucher does not look like your brand

    A standard PDF and wording do not suit a gift that is meant to impress.

What voucher sales cover

I tailor the scope to what you sell. We start with the rules, then the look.

  • 01

    A voucher product with a balance

    A voucher for a chosen amount, used across several orders, with an operations history.

  • 02

    For yourself or as a gift

    The buyer chooses the recipient and can add a message, and the code arrives by email.

  • 03

    A PDF that fits your brand

    The voucher's and the message's design, colours and wording, with a preview in the settings.

  • 04

    A code in the cart and at checkout

    A code field in the cart and at checkout, also in the block version of WooCommerce.

  • 05

    Refunds and extended validity

    The balance returns after a refund, including a partial one, and a single voucher's validity can be extended.

  • 06

    Sales rules

    Validity in months, what the voucher works for and what it does not cover (e.g. the price of another voucher).

CHECK THE FLOW

A voucher from purchase to redemption

See the voucher through the eyes of the customer, the recipient and the shop staff: the purchase page, the email with the code, the cart, the account and a refund.

Demo

Sample store, code and amounts. A demonstration of how it works, not a finished product.

This is just an example. I will build it around your case.

You do not need a specification. A few sentences about what should work is enough.

What the rollout looks like

  1. 01

    Voucher rules

    We write down the amounts, validity, what the voucher works for, refund rules and how it is delivered.

  2. 02

    Choosing the solution

    I assess whether a ready-made plugin (e.g. MadeIT Vouchers) is enough, or add-ons are needed for your rules and integrations.

  3. 03

    Setup and tests

    I launch sales on a copy of the store and test the whole cycle: purchase, code, redemption, refund and a failed payment.

  4. 04

    Launch before the season

    We switch on sales well ahead, so everything is checked before the holidays or a campaign.

FAQ

Questions about store vouchers

How is a voucher different from a discount code?
A voucher keeps a balance: the customer can use it across several orders, and the unused amount is not lost. A discount code usually reduces one order.
Do I have to build a voucher from scratch?
No. Often a ready-made plugin is enough, and I configure and adapt it. Custom add-ons make sense when you need non-standard rules or integrations.
What about taxes and accounting for vouchers?
It depends on the type of voucher and how it is sold, so it is worth discussing with your accountant. I make sure the store keeps the data and the history of operations.
Will a voucher work in the WooCommerce block cart?
Yes, the code field can work in both the classic and the block cart and checkout. I check this on your configuration.
Can a voucher be sent in a form other than a PDF?
The standard is a PDF in an email. Another format, for example a printed voucher or a separate message, can be considered within the scope.
