About this plugin
Tlloancy People’s Giftcard turns any WooCommerce product into a gift card your customers can personalise. Suggested amounts or a free amount, a recipient, a message, a delivery date. After payment the recipient gets a designed email with a code.
The balance is spent in the normal coupon field, in as many orders as it takes.
No upsell, no “Pro” tab. Every feature below is in the free plugin.
For your customers
- Pick an amount from suggested buttons (25 / 50 / 100…) or type any amount, within the limits you set.
- Personalise: recipient name and email, a message up to 300 characters, and a “send on” date for birthdays and holidays.
- Spend it your way: enter the code in the coupon field of the classic checkout or the checkout block. Whatever is not spent stays on the card.
- Check the balance with the [tlpg_balance] shortcode, or in My Account → Gift cards.
- Clear error messages: “This gift card has expired”, not “Coupon does not exist”.
For you
- Know what you owe: the Gift cards screen shows the total balance owed to customers.
- Full history of every card: issued, spent, restored, adjusted, voided, with the order behind each movement.
- Issue cards by hand for a gift, a goodwill gesture or a contest prize, and email them.
- Adjust, void, resend, change the expiry of any card.
- Expiry per store or per product (some countries set a minimum validity, so check your local rules).
- Export to CSV for your accountant.
- Search and filter by code, email, name, order, or status (active, scheduled, used, expired, voided).
- Optional code prefix, such as SHOP-ABCD-2345-WXYZ.
Built so you can trust the balance
- The balance is reserved when the order is created, not when it is paid. Two orders cannot spend the same money.
- Cancelled, failed or refunded orders give the balance back, and unused cards bought on that order are voided. If the order is paid again, everything is put back.
- Every change is atomic and logged. The history always explains the balance.
- Cards are issued once. A repeated payment notification never creates a second card.
- Codes are 12 random characters from an alphabet without look-alike letters (no 0/O or 1/I), and lookups are rate-limited against guessing.
- Nothing is deleted when you uninstall, unless you tick the box. Your customers keep their balances.
- HPOS (high-performance order storage) and Cart and Checkout blocks are supported.
- Privacy: integrates with WordPress’ personal data export and erasure tools.
Works with
2+ with the classic or the block checkout, block themes and classic themes, any payment gateway, any SMTP plugin (emails go through WooCommerce’s mailer).
