It’s no secret that eCommerce is booming. If you’re not already selling online, now is the time to start. And what better platform to sell on than WooCommerce?

WooCommerce is a free WordPress plugin that turns your WordPress site into a fully-featured eCommerce store. And one of the great things about WooCommerce is that it’s highly customizable. You can sell just about anything on WooCommerce, including gift cards.

So, can you sell gift cards on WooCommerce? The answer is yes! In this article, we’ll show you how to set up gift card products in WooCommerce and how to configure the settings to make sure your customers have a great experience buying gift cards from your store.

First, you’ll need to install and activate the WooCommerce plugin. For more information, see our article on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Once you’ve installed and activated WooCommerce, you’ll be taken to the WooCommerce Setup Wizard. We recommend completing the setup wizard so that WooCommerce can properly configure your store for selling products.

Next, you’ll need to create a product for your gift card. To do this, go to Products > Add New in your WordPress admin area. On the Add New Product page, enter a name and description for your gift card product and select Gift Card from the Product Data dropdown menu.

On the Gift Card settings page, you’ll need to configure a few settings for your gift card product. First, select a background image for your gift card from the Background Image dropdown menu or upload a custom image using the Upload Image button. This image will be displayed on the front of the gift card.

Next, enter a fixed amount or choose Variable Amount from the Amount dropdown menu if you want customers to be able to choose their own amount when they purchase the gift card. If you choose Variable Amount, you’ll need to enter minimum and maximum amounts that can be purchased.

You can also enable/disable certain features for your gift card product, such as allowing customers to add a personal message or choosing whether or not customers should receive an email with their gift card code after purchase. Once you’ve configured all of the settings for your gift card product, click the Publish button to make it live on your store.

Now that your gift card product is live on your store, customers can purchase it just like any other product on your WooCommerce site. After purchase, they’ll receive an email with their unique gift card code which they can then use at checkout to redeem their balance. It’s that simple!

Selling gift cards on WooCommerce is a great way to increase sales and customer loyalty by giving customers the flexibility to purchase gifts for loved ones (or themselves!) without having to worry about choosing the perfect item. Plus, with WooCommerce’s highly customizable platform, you can tailor the experience exactly to fit your brand and business goals.

PRO TIP: Selling gift cards on WooCommerce can be risky. If you are not careful, you could end up losing money or having your account suspended. Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of WooCommerce before you start selling gift cards.

Conclusion:

Yes, you can sell gift cards on WooCommerce!
