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.

- Refund to Store Credit: Issue refunds directly as store credit.
- WooCommerce Gift Cards: Digital or physical gift card options.

Steps to Create a Store Credit-Based Gift Card Product:
- From the dashboard, head to Gift Cards> General settings > General.
- Enable Gift Card Product.

Send Store Credit to Customers as Gift Cards
With WooCommerce 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. Steps to Send a Gift Card:
- From the dashboard, head to Gift cards > Send gift cards.
- Select a gift card template and amount.
- Provide recipient info such as Name and email.
- Add custom messages and restrictions as needed.
- Click on Send Email.
Note: Purchasing/receiving a gift card does not automatically add the balance to store credit. It only appears in the wallet or Manage Store Credit page once the user redeems it to the store credit balance/wallet.
Redeem Gift Cards
Whether a gift card is purchased from the store or sent directly by the store owner to the customer, customers can use it in two ways.
- Similar to coupons, you apply the gift card code at checkout. The gift card remains valid until the balance is exhausted.
- Redeem the gift card for store credit in your wallet. Users can use their wallet balance during checkout, which simplifies managing multiple gift cards.

Is there a way to allow customer’s to determine the amount of the gift card, or is it only predefined amounts? If I leave that “Set predefined amount” blank, then there’s no option/text box for the customer and the amount just says ‘0’.
