About this plugin

The free plugin is intentionally focused on creating and downloading cards. It does not contain the commercial Pro functionality such as WooCommerce sales, greeting library, recipient addressing, fulfilment, digital delivery, email/WhatsApp delivery, scheduled delivery, animated card opening, celebration effects, or credit/card-pack integrations.
The plugin does not contact io8 or any other external service during normal operation.
Development source: The distributed JavaScript is human-readable. js; no build step is required. Card editing and PNG generation happen in the visitor’s browser using locally loaded plugin code and the card images stored on your WordPress site.
An optional plain-text io8 credit can be enabled by the site administrator in Card Designs > Settings. It is disabled by default and is not required for the plugin to function.
