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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
<h3>Hooks</h3>
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:
<h3>voucherpress_create</h3>
When a voucher is created, this hook returns the properties of the voucher. You can use it like this:
add_action( ‘voucherpress_create’, ‘my_voucherpress_create_function’ ); 
function my_voucherpress_create_function( $id, $name, $text, $description, $template, $require_email, $limit, $startdate, $expiry ) { 
 // do something here… 
}
<h3>voucherpress_edit</h3>
When a voucher is edited, this hook returns the properties of the voucher. You can use it like this:
add_action( ‘voucherpress_edit’, ‘my_voucherpress_edit_function’ ); 
function my_voucherpress_edit_function( $id, $name, $text, $description, $template, $require_email, $limit, $startdate, $expiry ) { 
 // do something here… 
}
<h3>voucherpress_register</h3>
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:
add_action( ‘voucherpress_register’, ‘my_voucherpress_register_function’ ); 
function my_voucherpress_register_function( $voucher_id, $voucher_name, $user_email, $user_name ) { 
 // do something here… 
}
<h3>voucherpress_download</h3>
When someone downloads a voucher, this hook returns the voucher and the users details. You can use it like this:
add_action( ‘voucherpress_download’, ‘my_voucherpress_download_function’ ); 
function my_voucherpress_download_function( $voucher_id, $voucher_name, $code ) { 
 // do something here… 
}
The plugin also makes use of the __() function to allow for easy translation.
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.
<h3>Shortcodes</h3>
There are four shortcodes available. The first shows a link to a particular voucher, and is in the format:
[voucher id=”123″]
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.
You can also how the description after the link:
[voucher id=”123″ description=”true”]
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:
[voucher id=”123″ preview=”true”]
And you can show the description after the preview as well:
[voucher id=”123″ preview=”true” description=”true”]
You can also show an unordered list of all your live vouchers using this shortcode:
[voucherlist]
And a list of all live vouchers with their descriptions:
[voucherlist description=”true”]
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:
[voucherform id=”123″]
The shortcodes for any voucher can be found on the edit screen for that voucher. Just click the ‘Shortcodes’ button.

VoucherPress

VoucherPress is a Wordpress plugin that allows you to give downloadable, printable vouchers/coupons in PDF format away on your site.

Chit bridges your physical sales and your WooCommerce digital downloads. Print a code on a card, sticker, leaflet, or receipt; the customer enters the code on your site to receive access to the product’s downloadable files. Picture this for selling in person at a market – you’re selling your books but normally through webstore orders people get a PDF download too. This squares the circle.
It plugs into WooCommerce’s existing download system rather than reinventing it. When a code is redeemed, Chit creates a real (zero-total) WooCommerce order for the customer, marks it complete, and WooCommerce grants the download permissions exactly as it would for a paid order. The redemption appears in the customer’s My Account → Downloads page and in WooCommerce → Orders with a note explaining its origin.
<h4>What you get</h4>
<ul>
<li>Batch generation — generate any number of codes for a product in one go, with optional batch notes (e.g. “Christmas flyer 2025” or “Games day 2026”) so you can find them later.</li>
<li>Crockford-base32 code format — <code>CHIT-XXXX-XXXX</code>, with no ambiguous characters (no 0/O, 1/I/L, or U/V confusion) so they’re easy to read off prints.</li>
<li>Admin code browser — list table with status, batch, and product filters; sortable columns; per-row Revoke action; pagination.</li>
<li>Customer-facing redemption page — auto-created on activation with the <code>[chit_redeem]</code> shortcode. Requires login (codes are tied to user accounts so customers can re-download anytime).</li>
<li>CSV export — three-column export (code, product name, redeem URL) suitable for mail merges or label printing.</li>
<li>PDF-ready print sheet — 2×5 grid of cards per A4 page, each card showing product name, SKU, code, and the redeem URL. Uses the browser’s native “Save as PDF” so quality is excellent and there are no third-party dependencies.</li>
<li>Reports — at-a-glance counts (unused / activated / revoked) plus a top-products breakdown with activation rates.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it integrates with WooCommerce</h4>
Chit does not maintain its own download permissions. On activation it creates a WooCommerce order on the customer’s account with the redeemed product as a line item and a $0 total, then sets the order status to completed. WooCommerce’s existing download-permission machinery takes care of the rest: the customer sees the order in their account, the download file appears in My Account → Downloads, the download counter and any expiry rules you have configured all behave normally.
