With easy setup and automation, customers can purchase and redeem gift cards, boosting sales and customer loyalty. This guide walks you through setting up store credit-based gift cards, sending them manually, and redeeming them at checkout.
Understanding Store Credit
Store credit is a type of prepaid balance that customers can use to shop without needing to pay cash or use a credit card. This balance can be kept in the customer’s account or provided as a voucher, which they can use when checking out for their purchases.
Gift cards provide an easy way for customers to share store credit with friends or family, increasing your store’s revenue while ensuring repeat business.
Sell Gift Cards as a Product in Your Store
Offering gift cards as a product enables customers to purchase store credit for themselves or as gifts.(Gift cards can be only used in the store that they were purchased from)
Steps to Create a Store Credit-Based Gift Card Product:
- Go to Gift Cards > General Settings in the dashboard.
- Enable the Gift Card Product option.
- Choose an Order Status that triggers the gift card generation and delivery (e.g., upon order completion).
- Select the available gift card template options for customers.
Now, A demo gift card product is automatically created in your store.

With the free version of the plugin, you can only have one gift card product in the store.
Send Store Credit to Customers as Gift Cards
Store owners can also manually send gift cards to customers from the backend. This allows merchants to issue gift cards for promotions, rewards, or special occasions without requiring a purchase. Customers receive the gift card via email and can redeem it at checkout.
