<p><strong>Thanks for using VoucherPress. It’s great to see so many people creating vouchers for all kinds of business. From pizza joints to jewellers, cleaning companies to sports clubs – you’ve created thousands of vouchers, and I’m really proud to have created something which has been useful to so many people.</strong></p>
<p><strong>As I work on the next version of VoucherPress it would be really helpful if you could <a href="http://www.stillbreathing.co.uk/projects/voucherpress-the-next-chapter" rel="nofollow ugc">fill in this short survey</a>. Many thanks for your time.</strong></p>
<p>Have you ever wanted to give away vouchers, tickets, coupons or tokens on your website? If so this plugin is for you. You can create a voucher with whatever text you want, choosing the layout and font from a range of templates (you can also add your own templates). Vouchers can then be viewed, downloaded and printed from a specified URL.</p>
<p>There are shortcodes to add a link to a particular voucher, to show an unordered list of all your vouchers, or to show the registration for to request a restricted voucher.</p>
<p>You can require visitors to provide their name and email address to get a voucher. If an email address is required an email is sent to the address with a link to the voucher URL. Each voucher has a unique code, and vouchers that have an email address associated with them can only be used once, so once a registration-required voucher is downloaded it can’t be downloaded again.</p>
<h3>Hooks</h3>
<p>From version 1.1.2 the plugin also offers a selection of hooks which you can use to run your own custom code. The hooks are:</p>
<h3>voucherpress_create</h3>
<p>When a voucher is created, this hook returns the properties of the voucher. You can use it like this:</p>
<p>add_action( ‘voucherpress_create’, ‘my_voucherpress_create_function’ );<br />
function my_voucherpress_create_function( $id, $name, $text, $description, $template, $require_email, $limit, $startdate, $expiry ) {<br />
    // do something here…<br />
}</p>
<h3>voucherpress_edit</h3>
<p>When a voucher is edited, this hook returns the properties of the voucher. You can use it like this:</p>
<p>add_action( ‘voucherpress_edit’, ‘my_voucherpress_edit_function’ );<br />
function my_voucherpress_edit_function( $id, $name, $text, $description, $template, $require_email, $limit, $startdate, $expiry ) {<br />
    // do something here…<br />
}</p>
<h3>voucherpress_register</h3>
<p>When someone registers to download a voucher and an email is sent to them, this hook returns the voucher and the users details. You can use it like this:</p>
<p>add_action( ‘voucherpress_register’, ‘my_voucherpress_register_function’ );<br />
function my_voucherpress_register_function( $voucher_id, $voucher_name, $user_email, $user_name ) {<br />
    // do something here…<br />
}</p>
<h3>voucherpress_download</h3>
<p>When someone downloads a voucher, this hook returns the voucher and the users details. You can use it like this:</p>
<p>add_action( ‘voucherpress_download’, ‘my_voucherpress_download_function’ );<br />
function my_voucherpress_download_function( $voucher_id, $voucher_name, $code ) {<br />
    // do something here…<br />
}</p>
<p>The plugin also makes use of the __() function to allow for easy translation.</p>
<p>Thanks to Christian Serron (http://twitter.com/cserron) for the code to make the vouchers work in widgets (currently disabled, I’m working on this) and to Barry (http://www.betakeygiveaway.com/) for bug testing above and beyond the call of duty.</p>
<h3>Shortcodes</h3>
<p>There are four shortcodes available. The first shows a link to a particular voucher, and is in the format:</p>
<p>[voucher id=”123″]</p>
<p>The “id” parameter is the unique ID of the voucher. The correct ID to use is available in the screen where you edit the voucher.</p>
<p>You can also how the description after the link:</p>
<p>[voucher id=”123″ description=”true”]</p>
<p>The second shows a link to a voucher, but with a preview of the voucher (just the background image, no text) and the voucher name as the image alternate text:</p>
<p>[voucher id=”123″ preview=”true”]</p>
<p>And you can show the description after the preview as well:</p>
<p>[voucher id=”123″ preview=”true” description=”true”]</p>
<p>You can also show an unordered list of all your live vouchers using this shortcode:</p>
<p>[voucherlist]</p>
<p>And a list of all live vouchers with their descriptions:</p>
<p>[voucherlist description=”true”]</p>
<p>And you can also show the form for people to enter their name and email address if they wish to register for a restricted voucher:</p>
<p>[voucherform id=”123″]</p>
<p>The shortcodes for any voucher can be found on the edit screen for that voucher. Just click the ‘Shortcodes’ button.</p>

<p>Beltoft Gift Cards for WooCommerce adds a gift card product type to your store. Customers purchase a gift card, choose an amount, and enter the recipient’s email. When the order is processed, the recipient gets a branded email with their unique gift card code. Codes are redeemed at checkout through the standard WooCommerce coupon field — no extra steps for the customer.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ol>
<li>Gift card product type — predefined amounts (e.g., $25, $50, $100) or custom amounts within configurable min/max.</li>
<li>Email delivery using WooCommerce email templates — same look as your order emails.</li>
<li>Coupon field redemption — gift card codes work in the standard WooCommerce coupon field, no setup required.</li>
<li>Optional dedicated “Apply Gift Card” field on cart/checkout via settings or <code>[bgcw_apply_field]</code> shortcode.</li>
<li>Auto-apply from email — the “Shop Now” button in the delivery email automatically applies the gift card to the recipient’s cart.</li>
<li>Balance tracking with partial redemption — remaining balance carries over to the next purchase.</li>
<li>My Account tab — customers view their gift cards, balances, and full transaction history.</li>
<li>Personal message displayed in cart and order details.</li>
<li>Price range display — gift card products show “From $25” or “$25 – $100” in your shop catalog.</li>
<li>Admin dashboard with stats: total issued, outstanding balance, redeemed, and expired counts.</li>
<li>Gift card management list with search, status filters, pagination, and bulk actions (disable/delete).</li>
<li>Manual gift card creation from the admin panel — no order required.</li>
<li>Order meta box showing gift cards created by and used on each order.</li>
<li>Automatic balance restore on order cancel/refund, including proportional partial refund support.</li>
<li>Loyalty Rewards integration — optionally block or allow customers from using loyalty points to purchase gift cards (requires Loyalty Rewards for WooCommerce).</li>
<li>Shortcode <code>[bgcw_product_form]</code> for page builders (Bricks, Elementor, etc.).</li>
<li>HPOS compatible — works with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage.</li>
<li>Email settings (subject, heading, on/off) under WooCommerce > Settings > Emails.</li>
</ol>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ol>
<li>Create a “Gift Card” product in WooCommerce and set the predefined amounts.</li>
<li>Customer purchases the gift card, picks an amount, and enters recipient details and an optional message.</li>
<li>When the order is processed, a unique code is generated and emailed to the recipient.</li>
<li>Recipient enters the code at checkout in the coupon field — the gift card balance is applied as a discount.</li>
<li>Partial use is tracked. The remaining balance stays on the gift card for future orders.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<h3>Gift Card Product</h3>
<ul>
<li>Create a product, select “Gift card” as the product type.</li>
<li>Set predefined amounts in the Gift Card data panel (e.g., 25,50,75,100).</li>
<li>Custom amounts and their min/max are controlled from the global settings page.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Redemption</h3>
<ul>
<li>Gift card codes always work in the standard WooCommerce coupon field — this is automatic.</li>
<li>To also show a dedicated “Apply Gift Card” field, enable it in settings with automatic placement or shortcode-only.</li>
<li>Shortcode: <code>[bgcw_apply_field]</code> — place it on cart or checkout pages.</li>
<li>Recipients can click “Shop Now” in the delivery email to auto-apply the gift card to their cart.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Email Template</h3>
<ul>
<li>Uses WooCommerce’s email system — same header, footer, and colours as your other store emails.</li>
<li>Customise subject and heading under WooCommerce > Settings > Emails > Gift Card Delivery.</li>
<li>Override the template by copying <code>templates/emails/gift-card-delivery.php</code> to your theme’s <code>woocommerce/emails/</code> folder.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Page Builders</h3>
<ul>
<li>For Bricks, Elementor, or other page builders that replace WooCommerce templates, use the WooCommerce Add to Cart element or the <code>[bgcw_product_form]</code> shortcode.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Hooks & Filters</h3>
<p>Developers can extend the plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>bgcw_gift_card_created</code> — fires after a gift card is created (used by the email system).</li>
<li><code>bgcw_show_recipient_name_field</code> — return false to hide the Recipient Name field on the product page.</li>
<li><code>bgcw_show_recipient_email_field</code> — return false to hide the Recipient Email field on the product page. The buyer’s billing email is used as the recipient and the email validation is skipped.</li>
<li><code>bgcw_show_personal_message_field</code> — return false to hide the Personal Message field on the product page.</li>
</ul>
<p>Example — hide the Recipient Email field on every gift card product:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'bgcw_show_recipient_email_field', '__return_false' );
</code></pre>
