Changelog

Release notes of Gift Cards Pro, newest first. Updates are delivered through the WordPress updater as long as your license is active.

Version 4.9.1 — October 10, 2026

Fix: Fixed an issue where, on designer cards, the date label of the design was always replaced by the plugin’s own label (“Date of Expiry” or “Purchase Date”, depending on the date display setting). A design that leaves the label empty showed “Purchase Date” anyway, and a design with its own wording (for example “Ausstellungsdatum”) showed the plugin’s text instead. The design’s label is now used as designed, in the step 2 preview, the product page preview and the PDF; only the plugin’s default labels still follow the date display setting.
Fix: Fixed an issue where sites in German (formal), German (Austria) or German (Switzerland) showed the plugin in English. The German translation now also covers de_DE_formal, de_AT and de_CH.

Version 4.9.0 — October 8, 2026

Fix: Fixed an issue where gift cards collected hundreds of identical “wpgv_templates_style” custom fields. Every time any plugin on the site was updated (not just Gift Cards Pro), the plugin added one more to every gift card. It now adds the field only to an image card that has none, and only when Gift Cards Pro itself is updated. The extra copies already on your site are set aside automatically on the first admin page load after the update (one per card is kept, so nothing changes in what each card shows); a backup is written first and the notice offers a rollback.
Fix: Fixed an issue where designer cards and their categories (for example Birthday or Christmas) appeared in [wpgv_giftitems] and [wpgv_giftvoucher], because some of those extra fields tagged them as list items. Those forms now show image cards only.
Fix: Fixed an issue where [wpgv_giftcard] listed every gift card category, including categories that hold only image cards, so choosing one showed “No Gift Voucher Found!”. It now lists only categories with at least one active designer card.
Update: Activating Gift Cards Pro while the free Gift Cards plugin is active no longer fails with a fatal error. Gift Cards Pro deactivates the free plugin and says so; your gift cards, orders and settings are kept and used by Gift Cards Pro.
Update: Gift Cards Pro needs PHP 7.4 or newer. On an older PHP it now shows a notice and stays inactive, instead of stopping every page with an error.
Dev: AI Backgrounds, the [wpgv_giftcards] shop display, the PayPal webhook, and the CSV export, CSV import and Manual Order tools now live in their own folders under extensions/. Nothing changes in how they look or work, and their settings are kept.
Dev: Added hooks for add-ons: wpgv_loaded, wpgv_admin_pages, wpgv_settings_sections, wpgv_settings_form_sections, wpgv_settings_save, wpgv_orders_nav_tabs.

Version 4.8.9 — October 7, 2026

Feature: Added a custom amount option for the WooCommerce Gift Voucher product. In the product’s Gift Voucher tab, “Allow custom amount” adds a “Custom amount” choice after the fixed amounts. The buyer enters any value between a minimum and maximum (set per product, or taken from the Min/Max in Settings) and pays it through the normal WooCommerce cart, checkout and payment methods. The voucher gets exactly that value. The option is off by default for every product.
Feature: Added “Restore to gift card” for partial refunds. On a WooCommerce order paid with a gift card, a new box on the order screen puts an amount back on the card, up to what the card paid, with an entry in the voucher’s history and an order note. WooCommerce refunds cannot do this when the gift card paid the whole order (the order total is 0), so the restore is a separate, explicit action. Cancelling or fully refunding the order later credits only what was not restored yet.
Fix: Fixed an issue in [wpgv_giftcard] / [wpgv_giftcards] where a buyer who clicked “Pay Now” before the card preview had finished loading (for example while the web fonts were still loading on a first visit) stayed on the loading spinner and no order was placed. The preview no longer holds up the order.
Fix: Fixed an issue where, with block themes such as Twenty Twenty-Five, the WooCommerce Gift Voucher product page showed the voucher preview above the product and the product image a second time below it. The preview now takes the place of the image gallery at full column width, with the product name and, when the product has no image, the default voucher image from Settings. Other products keep their gallery.

Version 4.8.8 — October 6, 2026

Feature: Added a new “Staff redeem page” setting under Settings > General for the [wpgv_partial_redeem] page. “Enter an amount” is the default and works exactly as before. “Enter an amount, or redeem the full balance in one click” adds a “Redeem full balance” button. “Full balance only” makes vouchers single-use: staff see only that button and no amount field. The full balance is read by the plugin itself, and staff confirm before it is redeemed. Redemption at the WooCommerce checkout is not affected.
Fix: Fixed an issue where saving the settings before the WooCommerce gift-checkbox lists (“Allowed templates”, “Show checkbox for products”) had finished loading, or after they failed to load, cleared both lists, causing the checkbox to appear on every product. The saved lists are now kept in this case.
Fix: Fixed an issue where clicking “Use” in the admin order list left the cents of a voucher’s balance. For example, a 34.48 voucher could keep a 0.48 balance. The whole balance is now cleared.
Fix: Fixed an issue where entering exactly the remaining voucher balance with cents on the staff redeem page could be refused as “exceeds the current balance”.
Fix: Fixed an issue where the line under each voucher on the staff redeem page showed garbled characters between the code and the balance instead of a dot.
Feature: Added alignment guides to the gift card builder. While dragging text or the logo, items now snap to the edges and centre of the card, as well as the edges and centres of other items. A dashed line shows what the item is aligned with. Hold Alt while dragging to place an item freely.
Fix: Fixed an issue where the first time text was dragged in the builder, it could jump away from the mouse because the Text style panel opened while the mouse button was still held and moved the canvas. The text is now selected when it is dropped. Dragging is also smoother because the design is no longer saved to the form on every mouse movement.

Version 4.8.7 — October 5, 2026

Fix: Fixed an issue where PayPal and Mollie orders from [wpgv_giftcard] / [wpgv_giftcards] did not carry the gift card’s name as the order label. The label is now included correctly. This also fixes two PHP warnings that were logged for each such order.
Fix: Fixed an issue where the plugin ZIP did not include the font encoding tables required by the PDF engine for its built-in fonts. These files are now included again.

Version 4.8.6 — October 2, 2026

Fix: Fixed an issue where an order whose number matched the ID of a post revision could lose its stored details. Purchase History showed an empty Total Payable Amount, and Stripe and Klarna payment confirmations could not find the order. These details are now stored with the order itself. For older orders affected by this issue, Purchase History shows the voucher amount as the total.
Feature: Added a PayPal webhook. Previously, a PayPal payment was completed only when the buyer returned to your site. If a buyer approved the payment and closed the tab, the payment was not completed and no gift card was issued. Add the webhook URL shown under Settings > Payment Settings, next to the PayPal keys, to your PayPal app using the “Checkout order approved” and “Payment capture completed” events, then enter the Webhook ID. The plugin can then complete these orders automatically. Webhook calls are verified with PayPal before anything is marked as paid.
Fix: Fixed an issue where a payment confirmed twice at the same moment, such as by the gateway webhook and the buyer returning to the thank-you page, could send order emails twice. Orders are now processed only once.
Feature: Added an optional “Download your gift card (PDF)” button to the thank-you page for [wpgv_giftvoucher], [wpgv_giftcard] / [wpgv_giftcards] and [wpgv_giftitems]. The option is available under Settings > General > Order form and is off by default. The button appears only after a confirmed payment and only in the browser that placed the order, for 24 hours. It never appears for unpaid Per Invoice orders or for post orders when the buyer does not receive a PDF.
Feature: Improved Export as CSV with a new form where you can choose the order dates, using Last month, This month or All time shortcuts, the payment status (all, paid only or not paid only) and the format. The Excel Europe format uses semicolons and decimal commas, allowing Excel in German and other European languages to open the data directly into columns. Seven columns were added to the end of each row: Phone, City, Country, Total Paid, Shipping Cost, Extra Charges and Currency. Amounts are exported as plain numbers that can be added up. Gift cards created in the designer now show their name in the Template Name column.
Feature: Added a new Post orders setting under Settings > General: “Post orders: email the voucher PDF to the buyer”. Shops that send pre-printed cards can turn this off so buyers of post orders receive only the order confirmation, without the voucher PDF or its download link. The new {voucher_delivery} email tag indicates how the voucher will arrive, either by download link or by post address. This option is enabled by default, so existing behaviour remains unchanged until it is turned off.
Feature: Added City and Country fields to the post address in [wpgv_giftvoucher], [wpgv_giftcard] / [wpgv_giftcards], [wpgv_giftitems] and the admin Add New Giftcard Order form. City is required and Country is optional. Both are shown in Purchase History and voucher details.
Feature: Added new email tags: {shipping_name}, {shipping_address}, {shipping_city}, {shipping_country}, {shipping_method}, {shipping_cost}, {total_paid} and {customer_phone}. The default admin email now lists the buyer, amount, shipping cost, total paid and destination of post orders. Sites that have already saved their admin email keep their existing email content and can add the new tags. Shipping cost is now stored with each order.
Feature: Added Amount buttons for the gift card order forms ([wpgv_giftvoucher], [wpgv_giftcard] / [wpgv_giftcards] and [wpgv_giftitems]). Under Settings > General > Order form, enable Amount buttons and enter the amounts to offer, such as 50, 100, 150 and 250. Buyers can then select an amount with one click. The Allow a custom amount option lets buyers enter another amount between the Minimum and Maximum Voucher Value. When disabled, only the listed amounts can be purchased, and this is also checked when the order is placed. A card or item with its own price keeps that price. Both settings are off by default.
Fix: Fixed an issue where the gift card order forms ([wpgv_giftcard] / [wpgv_giftcards] and [wpgv_giftvoucher]) did not validate the amount on the server before creating the order. A card with a fixed price is now always charged at that price, while other amounts must be between the Minimum and Maximum Voucher Value. The extra charge is always taken from the settings. Previously, a modified request could change the amount or extra charge that was paid.
Fix: Fixed an issue where, with two or more post shipping methods, the shipping cost shown in the order form was not added to the amount charged because the form and payment step read the methods list differently. All order forms, the admin order form, receipts and invoices now read the shipping methods consistently. Methods can be separated with |, a comma or one per line. A post order using a method that is not in the list is now refused instead of being shipped for free.
Fix: Fixed an issue in [wpgv_giftvoucher] where a card with a special price did not fill in the special price shown in the card list. It now uses the special price, and a card with a fixed price also fills in its fixed price when the card selection step is hidden.

Version 4.8.5 — September 28, 2026

Feature: Added an optional buyer phone field for gift card order forms. Under Settings > General > Order form and Settings > WooCommerce, the phone field can be set to Off, Optional or Required. The phone number is saved with the voucher and shown in Purchase History, voucher details, the WooCommerce order and CSV export. It is not printed on the gift card.
Improvement: Improved the Classic layout in the gift card builder. Texts can no longer be dragged, selected or resized on the preview, keeping the layout fixed as designed. The photo is selected with Upload image or Generate with AI. Classic cards also no longer show the company logo or company name in the preview, step 2 of the purchase form or PDF, including cards saved before this version.
Feature: Added a blue frame around selected text in the gift card builder. Side handles resize the text box, corner handles change the font size, and the top handle rotates the text. Text style fields update with the selected text, while the frame is never included in the saved preview image.
Fix: Fixed an issue where built-in designs with transparent areas, such as rounded corners or ticket notches, could show a black border because preview images were always saved as JPEG. Designs with transparent areas are now saved as PNG, while designs that cover the entire card continue to use smaller JPEG files. The card picture is updated the next time a change is saved.
Fix: Fixed an issue where the gift card builder saved an empty copy of the logo resize frame every time the editor was opened, causing the design to grow and eventually triggering a too-many-layers warning. These copies are now removed when the editor opens and are no longer saved. Existing copies are removed the next time the card is changed and saved.
Feature: Improved text styling in the gift card builder. Clicking any text now opens Text style, where its font, colour, font size, line height, width and alignment can be changed. The searchable font list contains fonts that are rendered consistently in the preview and PDF. Changes are carried through to the purchase form and PDF. A line’s own colour takes priority over Text colour, and clearing it makes the line follow Text colour again. Automatically generated fields such as company name, date, voucher code, website and email can be styled in the same way.
Fix: Fixed an issue where editing a built-in gift card and clicking Update could leave the preview image and step 1 card picture showing the old design while step 2 and the PDF showed the new design. Changes made on the canvas now generate a fresh preview image when the card is saved. Existing cards that are out of sync are updated the next time a change is made and saved.
Fix: Fixed an issue where the “Revert changes” and “Upload background” icon buttons were not centred inside their boxes. They are now properly centred.
Fix: Fixed an issue where Text colour, design content fields and Builder notes remained visible on the Basic information and Template background tabs after opening a design. These fields now appear only under Edit design.
Fix: Fixed an issue where clicking the card preview to start editing did not switch the metabox to Edit design. Clicking the preview now switches to Edit design, just like the Edit design button.
Fix: Fixed an issue where the Edit design tab was shown before a template had been selected, including on new gift cards and after switching from Classic to Overlay without an available Overlay design. The tab now appears only after a template has been chosen, matching the Edit design button below the preview.
Fix: Fixed an issue where the blue selection frame around text could be too narrow or too wide, and centred or right-aligned text could be slightly misaligned because fonts had not finished loading when the text was measured. Text is now measured again when its font is ready, including the full shape of characters such as “$” and script-font flourishes.
Improvement: Improved the preview column so the card can only be edited from the Edit design tab. On Basic information and Template background, the card is now a preview: texts cannot be accidentally moved or selected, the heading reads “Preview”, Revert changes is hidden, and clicking the card opens Edit design.
Improvement: Improved the Edit design tab layout. It now keeps the same two-column structure as the other tabs, with settings such as Text colour, text fields, Text style and Builder notes on the left and the card on the right. Switching tabs no longer rearranges the screen.
Improvement: Improved photo handling when changing templates or layouts. A gift card now keeps its photo when the template or layout changes. Classic always shows the photo, while Overlay provides a new Background switch to choose between “Your photo” and “Template artwork”. The selected choice is preserved when trying other templates.
Fix: Fixed an issue where Revert changes could restore the saved card settings underneath a newly selected template or layout, causing the Edit design tab to disappear and potentially saving the old design with the new preview. Revert now only discards design edits made to the current template while keeping the selected template and background.
Fix: Fixed an issue where Show service name displayed only the product name for variable products purchased with the product page gift checkbox. The card preview, checkout preview and PDF now show the product name together with the selected option, such as “Percorso Luxury Spa – Lun – Ven”, including options set to “Any”.
Fix: Fixed an issue where the card preview on a simple product page did not show the service name because the product was not detected from the page’s Add to cart button. The product is now detected correctly.
Fix: Fixed an issue where the product page card preview for gift cards using the gift checkbox showed Classic cards without their photo or white field boxes, and could display the company logo at full image size over the headline. The preview now matches the gift card editor, with the photo filling its frame, the field boxes preserved and the logo fitted to the correct size.
Fix: Fixed an issue where some texts in the product page card preview were displayed using a serif fallback font. The preview now uses the same card fonts as the gift card editor and PDF and waits for them to load before drawing.
Fix: Fixed an issue where the product page card preview showed a white strip along its right edge on block themes. The preview now always fills the available width.
Fix: Fixed an issue where template choices under the product page gift checkbox showed each packaged template’s sample image instead of the card as designed. They now show the same card image used on the shop page, including the card’s photo and edits.
Fix: Fixed an issue where the admin order screen displayed Voucher Code and Voucher ID twice for items purchased with the product page gift checkbox. Each value is now displayed only once.
Improvement: Moved Show service name from General > Shop page to the WooCommerce settings, next to the product page gift checkbox it applies to. The option is also hidden when the shop page uses the Grid display. Existing saved choices are preserved.

Version 4.8.4 — September 25, 2026

Fix: Fixed an issue on older sites where some built-in gift cards showed a blank card at step 2 of the Modern purchase form. Their background pointed to a frame that no longer exists. They now use the design saved with the card.
Fix: Fixed an issue where a gift card’s expiry date could differ between the card screen, step 2, and the saved order. A leftover site setting without a corresponding field in Settings could override the card’s own expiry. The card’s expiry now determines the expiry shown everywhere. On sites where the leftover setting was active, existing cards are set to “Never expires” so there is no change for buyers, and a real expiry can then be set per card.
Fix: Fixed an issue where the gift card PDF displayed “Date of Expiry” with an empty value for cards that never expire. It now displays “No Expiration”.
Fix: Fixed an issue in the gift card builder where switching the layout from Overlay to Classic and back replaced the card’s design with the first design in the template list. The card now returns to the design it was using.
Fix: Fixed an issue where the Orientation and Template labels under the preview did not follow the Card format buttons or the Overlay and Classic switch. They now update with every change, and cards using a Classic layout are labelled “Classic” instead of a dash.
Fix: Fixed an issue where the “Upload image” card under Template background showed “No image chosen yet” after a card with an uploaded photo was updated a second time, even though the photo was still on the card. The photo is now kept exactly as it was saved.
Fix: Fixed an issue where switching between Portrait and Landscape with the Card format buttons removed the photo from a Classic card. The photo now carries over and is refitted to the new format, both for newly opened cards and cards being edited.
Improvement: Improved the layout switching behavior for cards that have never had an Overlay design. Switching to Classic and back now returns to “no design chosen” instead of selecting the first design in the list. The Templates list also opens at the correct orientation, allowing the user to choose the design.
Improvement: Improved the Template background section. “Upload image” and “Generate with AI” now remain locked until a design has been chosen, with a short note explaining why. Templates is also listed first to match the order used in Overlay. This prevents a card from being built on a retired layout while being recorded as using the first design in the list.
Improvement: Improved the preview loading experience. When a template is loading, such as after switching the layout, using the Card format buttons, selecting a design, opening Edit design, or choosing a photo while the editor is closed, the card now appears softened behind a frosted overlay with a spinner, while a thin progress bar runs along the top of the preview column.

Version 4.8.3 — September 22, 2026

Fix: Fixed a fatal error on the WooCommerce cart and checkout pages when Gift Cards Pro was active with themes or plugins that strictly type the wc_get_template filter, such as Divi 5. The plugin was passing an empty string where WooCommerce expects an array of template variables. It now passes an array, allowing the cart and checkout pages to render correctly.

Version 4.8.2 — September 20, 2026

Fix: On the Giftcard modern purchase form, gift cards with an uploaded background image now fill the entire card in step 2. Previously, the background could appear smaller than the card, leaving the text outside the image and a blank area at the bottom on phones and tablets.
Fix: On the Giftcard modern purchase form, the loading overlay now appears immediately when “Pay Now” is clicked. It no longer waits for the card preview to be redrawn or disappears while the payment request is still running.
Fix: The standard list form no longer shows empty gift card categories or categories containing only Grid View cards. Only categories with at least one List View card are displayed.
Fix: “Show Preview as PDF” on the standard grid form now opens the PDF preview correctly. The preview link was missing after a change introduced in 4.8.0.
Fix: On image-based gift card PDFs (standard list and grid), the item title and description now start below the card image instead of overlapping it. Multi-line descriptions also leave enough space for the fields below.
Fix: On the standard grid purchase form, the loading overlay now appears immediately while the payment request is running and is cleared if the payment cannot be started. The overlay is now translucent grey, keeps the order visible, and the spinner remains centred on screen even on long steps. On the standard list form, a step change can no longer clear the overlay too early.
Fix: Settings → General now links to PayPal’s current currency-code documentation. The previous PayPal link had been retired and returned a “Bad gateway” error.
Fix: When the maximum gift card value was set to 0 (no maximum), the gift value field no longer receives an invalid range of 1–0. It now has no upper limit, and the hint shows the minimum value only.

Version 4.8.1 — September 19, 2026

Fix: “Pay Now” on the Giftcard modern form did nothing when clicked. A script error stopped the payment request before it was sent, for every payment method (Stripe, PayPal, Klarna). Checkout works again.
Fix: Text on Giftcard modern PDFs now sits exactly where it does in the card preview. Before, labels could overlap the titles and multi-line text spread further apart than on screen.
Fix: Labels on Giftcard modern PDFs (“Gift From”, “Gift To”, “Date of Expiry”, “Coupon”, titles) are now translated like the checkout preview. The PDF is created in the voucher’s language, even when an admin with an English dashboard regenerates it.
Fix: Whole amounts on Giftcard modern PDFs no longer show “,00” (for example “250 €” instead of “250,00 €”), matching the card preview. Invoices and emails are unchanged.
Fix: Template artwork downloaded on first use is now always saved in the uploads folder (wp-content/uploads/gift-voucher-pro/). On a fresh install it could end up in the plugin folder and was deleted by the next plugin update.
Fix: With “Show the card title or WooCommerce product title” enabled, cards with no linked WooCommerce product showed the template’s internal name on the preview, the product-page checkbox and the PDF. Only a real linked product name is shown now.
Fix: The French translation of “Gift From” showed the German word “von”. It now reads “De la part de”.
Fix: Templates created with Create Template (AI) no longer save their own 60-day expiry. They now follow the expiry set in Settings (for example 365 days).
Improvement: On all three purchase forms (Giftcard modern, standard grid and standard list), the loading indicator now stays visible until the payment page (PayPal, Stripe, Mollie…) has opened. It no longer disappears while the browser is still loading. If the customer comes back with the Back button, the form is ready to use again.
Improvement: The card preview in step 2 of the Giftcard modern form now appears at the right size straight away and adjusts when the screen size changes. It no longer shrinks after loading, looks tiny on phones until the customer types, or overflows after the window is widened.
Improvement: Orders list: the “New PDF” button and its status message each stay on one line, and the button labels follow the admin language.
Improvement: Template builder: the preview no longer slides over the editor notes when you scroll to the bottom of the page.
Improvement: Tidier layout for Settings → AI Backgrounds and for the template picker on the Create Template page.

Version 4.8.0 — August 28, 2026

New: AI credits replace the daily render limit. Every Gift Cards Pro license starts with a free pack of credits; each generated image costs credits depending on the image quality (Low 1, Medium 3, High 10) and failed renders are never charged. The “Generate with AI” panel shows the balance and the price of the next render, and offers “Buy credits” when the balance is too low.
New: Settings → AI Backgrounds shows the current credit balance with a direct “Buy credits” link to the store; the quality options show their credit cost.
Improvement: High image quality is now available for AI backgrounds.
Note: Credits belong to the license and never expire. Credit packs are sold on wp-giftcard.com; the store credits the license automatically after checkout.

Version 4.7.0 — August 26, 2026

New: “Generate with AI” on the Create Template page (Giftcard modern). Describe the artwork, pick a style (Photo, Illustration, Abstract) and card format, and the Codemenschen AI service renders background images you can use straight away in the template builder. Generated images are stored in the media library with the prompt attached.
New: Settings → AI Backgrounds tab to enable the feature, choose image quality and the number of images per click, and test the connection.
Note: Your active Gift Cards Pro license is the credential for the AI service — there is no API key to configure. Each site gets a number of free renders per day; the counter is shown in the panel.

Version 4.6.8 — August 22, 2026

Fix: Stripe payments no longer fail on sites where another plugin or theme loads its own copy of the Stripe PHP SDK first. The global \Stripe\* namespace can only hold one version of each class, so an older third-party copy used to leave the plugin with an incomplete Stripe runtime and every checkout stopped with “Failed to initialize Stripe runtime”. Checkout sessions, payment intents, and webhook verification now run entirely on the plugin’s own Stripe REST transport and no longer depend on the SDK being loadable.
Fix: Report the Stripe SDK conflict once per request instead of on every Stripe call, so debug.log is no longer flooded on affected sites.
Fix: Send boolean Stripe parameters as true/false and omit null parameters, instead of the 1/empty values PHP form encoding produces.

Version 4.6.7 — August 20, 2026

Improvement: Reduce plugin work on unrelated WordPress admin screens. Plugin assets now load only on Gift Cards Pro screens and real voucher-product editing screens, settings reads are served from the object cache, schema checks run from a versioned migration runner, and payment and PDF runtimes load only where they are used. Measured on the reference install: 14 fewer SQL queries on every admin screen and PDF regeneration down from 8.44s to 2.84s. Each optimization is independently reversible; add define( 'WPGV_PERF_DISABLE', 'all' ); to wp-config.php to turn them all off, or pass a comma-separated list of admin_asset_scoping, settings_object_cache, versioned_schema_migrations, lazy_runtime_loaders to disable individual ones.
Improvement: Complete the plugin translations for Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and British English. Admin settings, the Email Center, and frontend voucher screens that previously fell back to English are now fully localized.

Version 4.6.6 — August 06, 2026

Fix: Improve the Standard Giftcard (Manual Order) wizard controls, validation feedback, responsive layout, and manual order completion flow.
Security: Require server-side gateway verification before a voucher is marked paid on the shared payment success page.
Security: Build voucher, receipt, and invoice PDF filenames from validated coupon codes instead of raw request values.
Security: Mask buyer email addresses on publicly reachable payment success pages.

Version 4.6.5 — July 25, 2026

Fix: Persist PayPal order IDs and capture IDs in the voucher table for standard vouchers, Giftcard Modern, and gift item purchase flows, preventing payment verification failures after PayPal redirects.

Version 4.6.4 — July 24, 2026

Feature: Add the Email Delivery Center with recipient delivery tracking, bounded automatic retries (5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours), duplicate-cron protection, and capability-protected single or bulk resend. Adds the giftvouchers_email_delivery table via automatic upgrade.
Fix: Use a payment-gateway-neutral frontend error title so PayPal failures are not incorrectly labeled as Stripe checkout errors.
Improvement: Reorganize the admin Email Center with Deliveries, Activity Log, resend actions, filtering, pagination, and retry monitoring.
Security: Harden PDF template lookups by validating request IDs and using prepared database queries.
Security: Harden voucher admin output escaping for voucher data, action links, and PDF links.

Version 4.6.3 — July 11, 2026

Feature: Add gift voucher redeem support for WooCommerce Cart Block and Checkout Block.
Fix: Protect imported client vouchers from false zero-balance redeem failures during partial redemption.
Fix: Load the plugin Stripe runtime conditionally to reduce checkout conflicts with other Stripe payment plugins.
Fix: Reconcile coupon discounts and redeemed voucher totals so checkout, order, and gateway totals stay accurate while voucher redemption remains shown separately.
Improvement: Refactor the modern template admin editor toward a cleaner div-based layout foundation.

Version 4.6.2 — June 30, 2026

Feature: Add the You do not have permission to view this page. frontend shortcode for partial voucher redemption.
Security: Require voucher code, buyer or recipient email, and nonce validation before redeeming balance on the frontend.
Security: Add rate limiting for repeated failed frontend redeem attempts and keep the admin redeem endpoint unchanged.
Improvement: Refine the frontend partial-redeem UX with a narrower recipient column, clearer redeem actions, and completed-state labels for zero-balance vouchers.
Improvement: Show paid-voucher lookup results with a non-error ready notice and a smaller search CTA.
Fix: Isolate the bundled Dompdf runtime to prevent live plugin conflicts during voucher PDF generation.
fix: apply settings min/max validation to Giftcard standard list-view pricing
Fix: Show frontend partial-redeem activity notes in the voucher balance history shortcode.
Fix: Prevent duplicate shortcode submission processing within the same request.

Version 4.6.1 — June 19, 2026

Improved: admin voucher balance summary accuracy with remaining-balance tracking and manual resync support.
Security: Remove the global SVG/SVGZ upload MIME allowance so Media Library uploads are not widened system-wide.
Security: Harden admin JSON and CSV import flows with nonces, upload validation, prepared SQL, and CSV field normalization.
Security: Update Composer dependencies to resolve the reported guzzlehttp/psr7 advisories.

Version 4.6.0 — June 11, 2026

Feature: Add hide-price support for Giftcard Modern template output across shortcode, preview, PDF, and WooCommerce checkbox flows.
Fix: Hide price correctly in Giftcard standard list-view when Hide price from Items is enabled, removing the visible price field, preview price block, and related frontend validation while preserving hidden pricing data for package flows.
Fix: Treat a Giftcard Modern fixed price of 0 or empty as no fixed price so the frontend leaves the amount field empty and allows manual customer input.
Fix: Restore manual price entry for GiftCard Standard List View when the admin price is 0 or empty, and prevent NaN totals in the frontend order summary.
Feature: Add a Show Voucher Preview action for WooCommerce checkout gift checkbox items so customers can preview their voucher before payment.
Improvement: Render the WooCommerce checkout voucher preview inside a modal using the Giftcard Modern Konva template output instead of a separate detail column.
Improvement: Keep the full Konva template content visible in checkout preview while masking the coupon code as XXXXXXXXX until payment is completed.
Improvement: Ensure checkout preview waits for template assets, webfonts, and redraw completion before displaying the voucher preview modal content.

Version 4.5.9 — June 8, 2026

Feature: Add a global “Date shown on voucher” setting so admins can choose between displaying Expiry Date or Purchase Date on vouchers.
Feature: Apply the selected voucher date display mode to Giftcard Modern, GiftCard Standard Grid View, and GiftCard Standard List View previews.
Feature: Apply the selected voucher date display mode to standard voucher PDF previews, including the “Show Preview as PDF” flow for grid and list shortcode pages.
Improvement: Make the new “Purchase Date” voucher label translatable across admin, shortcode previews, and PDF output.
Improvement: Enforce a minimum voucher value of 1 in admin settings and Giftcard Modern template price configuration to keep admin setup consistent with frontend validation.
Improvement: Prevent zero-value Giftcard Modern purchases with aligned frontend and server-side validation.
Fix: Ensure Giftcard Modern admin template edits always save a fresh preview image for custom templates, including text-only and color-only changes.
Fix: Overwrite the previous custom template preview attachment on every Save Template action so admin listings and template previews no longer show stale images after edits.

Version 4.5.8 — May 28, 2026

Fix(recaptcha): Restore reliable Google reCAPTCHA verification across standard voucher, gift card template, and gift items checkout flows, preventing false validation errors, stuck loading states, and final-step widget issues while preserving stable fallback behavior when reCAPTCHA is disabled or misconfigured.
Fix: Restrict admin canvas image saving to authorized users only by requiring a dedicated AJAX nonce, upload capability checks, and strict server-side image validation before media creation.
Fix: Prevent modern template edit saves from re-uploading preview images when only text/layout data changes, reducing false save failures on Save Template.
Fix: Reduce admin modern template preview payload size by preferring Blob/multipart preview uploads, keeping base64 fallback support, and downscaling large preview exports before upload.
Fix: Reduce oversized request failures on Automatic Render Giftcard Modern Template by optimizing generated preview images and clearing unselected template payloads before form submission.
Fix: Protect manual maintenance/debug URL actions (wpgv-check-cron, wpgv-update-migration) with admin authorization and action-specific nonces to prevent public state changes and information disclosure.
Fix: Harden Stripe modal, embedded, and success-page payment completion flows so Checkout Sessions and PaymentIntents must belong to the correct voucher before the order can be marked as paid.
Fix: Replace unsafe frontend voucher lookups with prepared queries and strict integer normalization for request-driven success/cancel flows.
Fix: Enforce nonce validation on admin settings, invoice settings, and modern template create/edit submissions to close CSRF gaps.
Fix: Secure admin voucher/order detail lookups by replacing request-concatenated SQL with prepared statements and safe ID handling.

Fix: Restore correct A4 orientation handling for Giftcard Modern permalink preview and generated order PDFs, including landscape template support.
Improvement: Lock checkout interactions after Pay Now is clicked to prevent duplicate submissions while payment initialization is in progress.
Fix: Giftcard modern admin template editor no longer throws JavaScript errors when clicking the logo.
Fix: Logo resize/edit flow now ignores text-alignment handlers for non-text Konva nodes, preventing selectedTextElement.align is not a function errors.

Version 4.5.6 — April 30, 2026

Refactor: Use Dompdf as the only runtime PDF engine and remove the legacy FPDF dependency, bootstrap files, and template fallbacks.
Improvement: Keep PDF text in UTF-8 by removing FPDF-specific codepage conversion helpers from active PDF flows.
Feature: Add Polylang compatibility for translatable settings, checkout text, emails, success/cancel messages, and PDF/invoice output across voucher, item, WooCommerce, and modern gift card flows.
Improvement: Persist voucher language for delayed emails, admin resend, and PDF regeneration, with an automatic upgrade that adds the nullable language_code column to giftvouchers_list on existing installs.
Improvement: Upgrade Stripe to stripe/stripe-php v20.1.0, standardize Stripe loading through Composer vendor/ only, and remove legacy bundled Stripe libraries to avoid mixed-SDK conflicts.
Fix(woocommerce): prevent orphan gift voucher products

Version 4.5.5 — April 16, 2026

Improvement: Reduce false-positive payment status updates for PayPal purchases handled through the shared success page logic (include/voucher-shortcodes.php), affecting voucher flows that use the common success handler.
Improvement: Provide specific PayPal decline error messages instead of generic notifications in payment capture verification (include/voucher-shortcodes.php), affecting PayPal payment flows for voucher, gift card, and gift item purchases.
Fix: Correct Stripe webhook exception namespace and add Bedrock layout support for WordPress bootstrap (include/stripewebhook.php), ensuring proper webhook signature verification and compatibility with alternative WordPress directory structures.

– Konva canvas now updates correctly when form fields are auto-filled by browser (previously only manual typing triggered updates)
Improvement: Add multi-event listeners (input, change, keyup, blur, animationstart, focusout) to form fields for comprehensive value change detection
Improvement: Optimize PDF preview button to display preview in browser window instead of initiating file download
Improvement: Add CSS animation detection (@keyframes autofill-animation) to properly trigger canvas updates on browser autofill events

Version 4.5.2 — March 12, 2026

Feature: added per-product expiry settings for WooCommerce gift voucher products.
Feature: restrict gift voucher product images to PNG/JPG formats only, with admin notices and media-library filtering to prevent WebP or unsupported files.
Improvement: show gift checkbox meta fields in order details (your/recipient name, emails, prices, voucher code/ID).
Improvement: order item meta labels now use human-readable text instead of raw _wpgv_ keys.
Improvement: refined hidden meta list so only internal keys are suppressed; visible information remains.

Version 4.5.1 — February 24, 2026

Feature: introduce new WooCommerce display toggle for gift voucher redemption form. Admins can now enable or disable the Cart/Checkout input without affecting redeem logic; defaults to disabled for new installs.
Improvement: added corresponding setting field under Settings → Woo Settings and updated templates to respect the new option.
Fix: correct Stripe webhook handler to locate wp-load.php in non‑standard/multi‑domain environments and prevent HTTP 500 errors. Added recursive search and document-root fallback.

Version 4.5.0 — February 13, 2026

Fix (perf): resolve critical page-load regression by removing expensive recursive filesystem scans from template helpers and adding request-lifetime caching
Fix (migration): move one‑time template/postmeta migration out of hot-paths into a background WP-Cron task and add a transient-based lock to ensure it runs only once
Improvement: replace direct file_get_contents() calls with wp_remote_get() + transient caching for remote template JSON (timeout and 24h cache)
Feature: add admin setting Add Gift Card price to cart total (Woo Settings) — controls whether gift card value is added to the cart total; default = Enabled
Fix/UI: product page and cart display updated so Total reflects the new setting and clearly indicates when gift card value is NOT added to total
Improvement: add wpgv_get_upload_paths() static cache helper and reduce repeated DB/options queries with wpgv_get_settings() usage
Misc: JS localization updated to expose add_price_to_cart; front-end price-calculation logic updated for variations and template pricing

Version 4.4.9 — February 10, 2026

Feature: Add visual template selector for the Giftcard Modern template on product pages.
Fix: Prevent deprecated dynamic property creation by declaring the $beta property in the updater class (file: classes/EDD_SL_Plugin_Updater.php).
Fix: Avoid passing NULL to add_submenu_page() parent slug (use empty string) to prevent deprecated strpos() calls in WordPress core (file: admin.php).
Fix: Reduce duplicate database queries for plugin settings by adding a cached helper wpgv_get_settings() and using it from wpgv_is_woocommerce_enable() and admin notices (file: gift-voucher-pro.php).
Fix: Store expiry indicator as a non-localized string ‘No Expiry’ in stored data to avoid saving localized text to the database.

Version 4.4.8 — December 09, 2025

Fix: Persist PayPal order IDs created during checkout to voucher post meta so capture works when PHP session cookie is unavailable (meta key wpgv_paypal_order_id, legacy paypal_order_id) (files: include/wpgv_giftcard_pdf.php, include/wpgv_voucher_pdf.php, include/wpgv_item_pdf.php).
Fix: Add safe session handling and a session→postmeta fallback on the PayPal success/capture flow to avoid PHP notices and missing-order-id failures (file: include/voucher-shortcodes.php).
Fix: Wrap PayPal capture calls in try/catch and log errors instead of printing exceptions to prevent customer-facing “critical error” pages and record failures in the PHP error log (files: include/voucher-shortcodes.php, include/wpgv_giftcard_pdf.php).

Version 4.4.7 — December 04, 2025

Fix: Harden voucher metabox rendering to avoid PHP notices when fields or attachments are missing (include/voucher_metabox.php).
Fix: Cast plugin file parameter to string in updater to avoid passing null to WP core functions and related deprecation notices (classes/WPGV_Plugin_Updater.php).
Fix: Show invoice PDF link/icon in Purchase History when invoice generation is active and the invoice file exists (admin voucher column).
Fix: Prevent mojibake in voucher/receipt/invoice PDFs by detecting source encoding and safely converting text for FPDF output (wpgv_em / wpgv_em_cs_CZ).

Version 4.4.6 — December 03, 2025

Feature: Integrate Klarna Payments v1 as a new payment method.
Improvement: Centralize post-payment processing and ensure server-side webhook/push handling.
Improvement: Add per-gateway configurable Success Pages (Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, MultiSafepay, Per Invoice, Mollie).
Fix: Persist gateway session/order IDs (e.g. Stripe session) for reliable webhook mapping.
Fix: Handle Gift Voucher products added from shop/archive page without filling voucher form — now uses WooCommerce order billing data as fallback.
Fix: Invoice PDF now correctly displays the euro (€) symbol and other special currency characters. All price outputs in invoice templates are encoded to CP1252 to prevent mojibake (e.g. â‚¬).
Fix: Do not attach receipt/invoice PDFs to recipient emails — voucher recipient now only receives the main voucher PDF (e.g. voucherXXX.pdf). Buyer and admin continue to receive -receipt.pdf and -invoice.pdf attachments. (file: include/voucher-shortcodes.php)

Version 4.4.5 — November 27, 2025

Fix: Prevent PHP fatal error in include/redeem-voucher.php when WooCommerce invokes the woocommerce_payment_complete_order_status filter without a valid WC_Order object (for example: Email Preview). The filter now safely accepts either an order object or an order ID and falls back to the original status if no valid order is available.
Fix: Create vouchers per order line item (qty = 2 now creates 2 records in giftvouchers_list).
Fix: Count vouchers by order-item meta (prevents mixing codes between different line items).
Fix: Correct inverted status logic (deactivate() => ‘used’, reactivate() => ‘unused’).
Fix: Improve voucher insertion flow and add debug logs for easier diagnosis.

) — when user changes the Send Type, the scheduled date row now correctly toggles: selecting send_future_date shows .voucherSendDatePikerRow; other values hide it and clear any date validation errors.
Fix: Admin — Template image upload is now restricted to JPG and PNG. The metabox upload UI validates the selected attachment’s MIME type and shows a warning if a different format (WebP, SVG, etc.) is picked.
Improvement: Added clearer “Recommended” guidance for template images (now shows recommended size and allowed formats) and small JS robustness updates in assets/js/voucher-template-script.js and include/voucher_metabox.php.

Version 4.4.3 — November 13, 2025

Fix: Customer receipt PDF now shows the actual payment status (no longer hardcoded “Paid”).
Fix: Automatically regenerate the customer receipt PDF when a payment is confirmed (Mollie / PayPal / Stripe / generic success handlers) so the attached/downloaded receipt reflects the real payment status.
Fix: Regenerate the customer receipt PDF when an administrator marks a voucher as Paid from the Purchase History.
Refactor: Moved receipt generation helper into a dedicated include file include/receipt-functions.php and require it from the main plugin bootstrap (gift-voucher-pro.php) for better separation of concerns and reusability.
Improvement: Receipt template now uses voucher data from the giftvouchers_list table (amount, coupon code, recipient, expiry, payment method/status) to produce consistent output.
Note: Make sure wp-content/uploads/voucherpdfuploads/ is writable by PHP so receipt files can be created/overwritten. If PDF generation fails, check server permissions and PHP error logs.

Version 4.4.2 — November 13, 2025

Fix: Prevent JavaScript TypeError “voucher_shipping_address.val is not a function” by initializing the missing jQuery selector in assets/js/voucher-template-script.js. The shipping address field is now properly selected so validation and overview steps no longer throw errors when using postal shipping.

Version 4.4.1 — November 11, 2025

Update: Updated the json_template and get_json_db functions in voucher_metabox.php to improve loading and saving of voucher templates in JSON format.
Fix: Prevent a fatal activation error when another plugin has already loaded Stripe. Updated the logic in stripe-force-loader.php to detect and handle a preloaded Stripe instance and avoid reloading the library (prevents conflicts).
Fix: Avoid PHP notice “iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string” by making encoding conversions in gift-voucher-pro.php (functions wpgv_em / wpgv_em_cs_CZ) more robust — inputs are sanitized and iconv() called with //IGNORE to skip invalid bytes.
Fix: Prevent PHP notices “Trying to get property ‘invoice_color’ of non-object” and “Trying to get property ‘is_invoice_active’ of non-object” by validating option objects before property access in include/wpgv_voucher_pdf.php, include/wpgv_item_pdf.php and front.php.
Fix: Ensure in-memory voucher object is updated immediately after marking a voucher as Paid so email placeholders (e.g. {payment_status}) use the new status; applied to Mollie, generic voucher and Stripe success handlers (include/voucher-shortcodes.php).

Version 4.4.0 — October 09, 2025

Feature: Add Quotes suggestions for Personal Message (frontend & backend).
Fix: Isolate FPDF to prevent font/path conflicts with other plugins.

Version 4.3.9 — July 31, 2025
