## Description

**GiftRocket – Ultimate Gift Cards for SureCart** seamlessly integrates with **SureCart**
to provide a true stored-value gift card shopping and redemption experience.

Unlike simple promotional coupon plugins, GiftRocket treats gift cards as **stored-
value financial tender (cash equivalents)** with an independent ledger. Balances,
transactions, and scheduled deliveries are tracked in dedicated database tables,
keeping your **SureCart > Coupons** admin list **100% clean**.

### ✨ Key Features

 * **Stored-Value Ledger Engine**: Full balance tracking, partial deductions, and
   transaction logging in dedicated custom database tables (`wp_giftrocketsure_cards`,`
   wp_giftrocketsure_ledger`, `wp_giftrocketsure_logs`).
 * **Immutable Transaction Ledger**: Complete append-only audit trail recording 
   every balance issuance, checkout redemption, manual admin adjustment, and refund
   restoration.
 * **Store Admin Card Management**: Manually create new gift cards, edit existing
   vouchers, adjust balances, and override card operational statuses (`Active`, `
   Used`, `Expired`, `Disabled`) directly from the admin dashboard with anti-spam
   email protection.
 * **Zero SureCart Coupon Clutter**: Ephemeral Just-In-Time Bridge creates temporary
   checkout tokens that are incinerated immediately upon order confirmation or removal.
 * **Dedicated Checkout Gift Card Field**: Distinct `"🎁 Have a gift card?"` accordion
   directly adjacent to SureCart’s promotional coupon form, eliminating customer
   confusion.
 * **Real-Time Available Balance Badge**: Shows live remaining card balance upon
   application with one-click removal to restore original cart totals.
 * **Split Tender Support**: Partial balances apply smoothly to orders; any remaining
   balance stays on the card, or higher totals can be split with credit card/PayPal.
 * **Native SureCart Product Integration & Wizard**: Configure gift cards directly
   within **SureCart > Products** (`admin.php?page=sc-products`). Toggle product
   types, manage preset denomination pills, set flexible expiry periods, enable 
   email scheduling, and configure disclaimer terms directly in the product editor.
 * **Automatic Single Product Page Routing**: No shortcodes required. Simply mark
   a SureCart product as a “GiftRocket Gift Card” and viewing that product automatically
   loads the single-page customizer.
 * **Live Interactive Card Preview**: Visual preview updates live as the customer
   selects designs, amounts, and enters personalized recipient messages.
 * **Preset & Custom Amounts**: Configure instant preset buttons (e.g. $100, $200,
   $300, $500) and allow optional custom amount inputs with min/max validation.
 * **Occasion Design Gallery**: Included designs for Father’s Day, Mother’s Day,
   Valentine’s Day, Birthdays, and General Occasions. Customers can also upload 
   custom card artwork.
 * **Instant & Scheduled Delivery**: Immediate dispatch upon order completion or
   queue-based scheduled delivery (date and time) powered by WP-Cron.
 * **Hardened Security & Concurrency**: Row-level database transaction locking (`
   SELECT ... FOR UPDATE`) prevents double-spending race conditions.
 * **Automatic Refund & Cancellation Restoration**: Automatically restores spent
   balances when orders paid with a gift card are refunded or cancelled by store
   admin, and voids gift cards when purchasing charges are revoked.
 * **Isolated Settings Subtabs & Hash Routing**: Dedicated subtabs for General, 
   Form, and Email settings with scoped persistence preventing checkbox resets and
   URL hash routing for direct deep-linking.
 * **Configurable Customizer Headings**: Customize main customizer titles, input
   labels, character limits, and localized validation feedback directly from the
   admin panel.
 * **Public Balance Checker Shortcode**: Embed `[giftrocket_balance_check]` anywhere
   on your site (e.g. `/check-balance`) to let customers check their card balance,
   initial value, status, and expiry with built-in rate-limited anti-abuse protection.

## FAQ

### Does this require SureCart?

Yes, GiftRocket – Ultimate Gift Cards for SureCart is designed specifically to extend
SureCart products and checkout workflows.

### Is there a video tutorial available?

Yes. A step-by-step tutorial video (`tutorial-video.webm`) is provided in the plugin
assets and detailed in the Merchant & User Guide (`USER-GUIDE.md`).

### Will this pollute my SureCart “Coupons” admin list?

No. Gift cards are stored in their own database ledger. Temporary bridge tokens 
used during checkout to inform payment gateways of discounts are immediately deleted
upon order completion.

### Do I need to use shortcodes?

For products, no! The plugin automatically intercepts the single product template
for any SureCart product set to “GiftRocket Gift Card”. However, you can optionally
use the `[giftrocket_balance_check]` shortcode on any page or post so customers 
can check their remaining gift card balance.

### How can customers check their gift card balance?

Customers can check their balance directly at checkout via the “🎁 Have a gift card?”
accordion, or on any dedicated page using the `[giftrocket_balance_check]` shortcode.

### Can customers use a gift card across multiple orders?

Yes. If an order total is less than the gift card balance, the remaining balance
stays on the card for future purchases.

### Can I add my own card designs?

Yes. In WordPress Admin under **SureCart > 🎁 Gift Cards**, you can add unlimited
card designs, set custom occasion badges, and upload artwork using the WordPress
Media Library.

### How are vouchers delivered to recipients?

Vouchers are delivered via branded HTML emails either instantly upon payment confirmation
or scheduled for a specific date and time selected by the buyer.
