Overview
Ultimate Gift Cards for WooCommerce is WP Swings’ free gift card plugin on WordPress.org. Its paid upgrade is sold as Gift Cards for WooCommerce Pro. Gift cards are issued as WooCommerce coupon codes, so they use WooCommerce’s standard coupon handling for redemption, restrictions and taxes.
The free version is broad. It offers several pricing types (default, range, selected, user-defined and variable), expiry dates counted from purchase or delivery, delivery by email or as a download, a balance-check shortcode (also available as a block), and four built-in email templates. You also get redemption controls such as daily limits per user, a maximum share of the order total, minimum and maximum spend, and product or category exclusions. A transaction report and a gifting portal for redeeming and recharging cards in a retail store are included. In the free version the portal is limited to two employees and 20 transactions a day.
Pro features
- More than 20 templates, customer image uploads and PDF gift cards
- Scheduled delivery, group gifting, and sharing by SMS or WhatsApp
- Physical gift cards with shipping, and QR code or barcode redemption
- Recharging existing cards, discounts on gift card products and CSV import/export
- Multi-currency support and a REST API
Pro costs $89, $169 or $329 per year for 1, 5 or 10 sites, with cheaper 2-year plans and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Store credit and limitations
The plugin has no account wallet of its own. Wallet features such as balances, top-ups, cashback and refunds to a wallet come from WP Swings’ separate Wallet System for WooCommerce plugin, and the docs describe redeeming gift cards into that wallet. Because so many options are available, setup takes longer than with simpler plugins. Since cards are coupons, they also interact with your coupon rules. The plugin declares HPOS and Cart/Checkout block compatibility.
Who it suits: stores that want detailed control over gift card pricing and redemption rules, in-store redemption, and optional wallet features from the same vendor.
Best for: Stores that want flexible gift card pricing and redemption rules plus in-store redemption, with optional wallet features from the same vendor.
Ultimate Gift Cards packs a lot into its free version, particularly pricing types, redemption limits and a basic POS portal. Pro is reasonably priced for PDFs, scheduling and physical cards, but expect a learning curve, and you will need WP Swings' wallet plugin for store credit.
Pros
- Free version offers many pricing types, including customer-defined amounts
- Detailed redemption limits (daily caps, order percentage, min/max spend)
- Free gifting portal for in-store redemption
- Pro adds PDF, physical, scheduled and QR/barcode cards
- Declares HPOS and Cart/Checkout block compatibility
Cons
- Free POS portal limited to 2 employees and 20 transactions a day
- Store credit features need the separate Wallet System plugin
- So many settings take time to configure
- Cards are coupon codes, so they interact with coupon rules
