Install the plugin and activate the license

Install

  1. In WordPress open Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the downloaded zip and click Install Now.
  2. Click Activate. A new menu Gift Cards Pro appears in the admin sidebar.

Alternatively unzip the file and upload the folder gift-voucher-pro to wp-content/plugins/ via FTP, then activate it on the Plugins page.

Activate the license

  1. Open Gift Cards Pro → Plugin License.
  2. Paste the license key from your purchase email and click Activate License. The status changes to active.

The license enables automatic updates, support and the AI backgrounds. A Single-site license can be moved: click Deactivate License on the old site, then activate the key on the new one.

Create the plugin pages

Go to Gift Cards Pro → Settings and click Create Plugin’s Default Pages. This creates the pages the plugin needs (gift card form, payment successful, payment cancelled, check balance) with the right shortcodes (see Plugin pages). Then fill in Company name, Company logo and Currency on the General Settings tab and you are ready to design your first template.
