Description
MadeIT Vouchers turns any simple WooCommerce product into a gift voucher. The product price is the voucher value. When the order is paid, the plugin creates a unique code, generates a PDF and emails it to the buyer or to the person they want to give it to.
Customers enter the code in a dedicated field above the cart or checkout (classic and block versions). The voucher balance is reserved when the order is placed, released if the order is cancelled or payment fails, and settled when the order is paid. Whatever is left stays on the voucher for the next purchase.
Features
- Any simple product can be a voucher: tick one checkbox, the product becomes virtual and sold individually.
- Buyer chooses “for me” or “as a gift”, with the recipient’s email address and an optional message.
- Unique codes are stored encrypted, only a hash is used to look vouchers up.
- PDF voucher in your shop colour, attached to the email.
- Works with the classic cart and checkout and with the WooCommerce Cart and Checkout blocks. Compatible with High-Performance Order Storage.
- Balance is reserved while an order is pending and returned automatically when it is cancelled, fails or is fully refunded.
- A voucher can pay for regular products, but not for another voucher.
- Admin screen with search, status filters, balances and a full history of every operation.
- Default validity period in months.
- Fully translatable.
MadeIT Vouchers Pro
An optional add-on from MadeIT Labs (sold separately at labs.made-it.pl/en) extends the plugin with additional PDF designs and preset colours, editable customer-facing texts, restoring balance after a partial refund and extending the validity of single vouchers. The free plugin is complete on its own and does not contact any external service.

Installation
- Make sure WooCommerce is installed and active.
- Upload the plugin to
/wp-content/plugins/or install it from the Plugins screen, then activate it. - Edit a simple product, open the General tab of Product data and tick “Voucher”. Set the price to the voucher value.
- Open MadeIT Vouchers Settings to choose the colour and the validity period.
Your site needs working outgoing email, because the voucher PDF is sent by email. The PHP GD extension with FreeType support is required to render the PDF.
