Documentation

Gift Cards Pro lets you design, sell and redeem gift cards and vouchers on any WordPress site, with or without WooCommerce. This documentation covers version 4.8: setup, the two template systems (Giftcard modern and Giftcard standard), gift items, payments, email delivery, redemption and the new AI backgrounds.

Quick start

  1. Install the plugin and activate your license, then click Create Plugin’s Default Pages in the settings.
  2. Enter company name, logo and currency under General settings and enable at least one gateway under Payment settings.
  3. Design your first card in the template builder: upload a background or generate one with AI.
  4. Put the shop on a page with a shortcode (see Display booking forms).
  5. Place a test order, check the emails in the Email Center and try a redemption in WooCommerce or at the counter.

What’s new in 4.7 / 4.8

  • Generate with AI: describe a background and get it rendered inside the template builder; every image lands in your media library. How it works
  • AI credits: 20 free credits per license, 1/3/10 credits per image depending on quality, packs from €9. Details
  • Settings → AI Backgrounds: enable the feature, choose quality and images per click, see your balance. Settings
  • Also recent: the Email Delivery Center with retries and resend (4.6.4), redemption in the WooCommerce Cart and Checkout Blocks (4.6.3), and a Stripe integration that no longer depends on the Stripe SDK (4.6.8). Full list in the Changelog.
