The WebToffee WooCommerce Gift Cards make refunding an order easy. The plugin allows registered users to credit the refunded amount to their store credit and converts the refunded amount into an equivalent gift card for guest users.
Let’s look at them in detail
Registered user
When an admin refunds an order placed by a registered user, the refunded amount is credited to the corresponding user’s store credit balance.
- The admin refunds the registered customer’s order by clicking on the refund button.
- The Plugin refunds the amount to the registered user’s store credit. The store credit can be verified by navigating to Gift card > Manage user credits.
- The registered user is also notified by mail about the refund. A link to check the store credit balance is added to the email.
Guest users
When a guest user refunds an order, the refunded amount is converted into an equivalent gift card for guest users. The workflow is as follows.
- The admin refunds the order placed by a guest user by clicking on the refund button.
- The plugin refunds the amount by generating an equivalent gift card and mailing it to the guest user.
- The guest user is also notified by mail about the refund. A link to check the store credit balance is added to the email.

I have Smart Coupons that also has Gift Certificates. Would I need to purchase this app to get the same functionality? Wouldn’t I then have redundant apps?

Hi PTS Team,
Thank you for reaching out. Yes, Smart Coupons does offer a basic gift certificate option that integrates gift card purchase functionality into your store. However, Gift Cards for WooCommerce is a specialized plugin that provides extensive customization options and features, such as store credit management and refunding to store credit. Both Smart Coupons and the Gift Cards plugin are fully compatible and designed to work seamlessly together. If you install both plugins, they will function smoothly without any issues.

Hi there, How can you have Store Credits apply to the Order Total INCLUDING the Shipping amount?
Currently it is only applying to the Subtotal – also in the screenshot above
Thanks

Hi Phillips,
The Gift Card plugin doesn’t discount the shipping fee by default. The feature is in our roadmap and will be implemented in the upcoming releases.
