GiftRocket - Ultimate Gift Cards for SureCart<\/strong> seamlessly integrates with SureCart<\/strong> to provide a true stored-value gift card shopping and redemption experience.<\/p>\n\n

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

\u2728 Key Features<\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  • Stored-Value Ledger Engine<\/strong>: Full balance tracking, partial deductions, and transaction logging in dedicated custom database tables (wp_giftrocketsure_cards<\/code>, wp_giftrocketsure_ledger<\/code>, wp_giftrocketsure_logs<\/code>).<\/li>\n
  • Immutable Transaction Ledger<\/strong>: Complete append-only audit trail recording every balance issuance, checkout redemption, manual admin adjustment, and refund restoration.<\/li>\n
  • Store Admin Card Management<\/strong>: Manually create new gift cards, edit existing vouchers, adjust balances, and override card operational statuses (Active<\/code>, Used<\/code>, Expired<\/code>, Disabled<\/code>) directly from the admin dashboard with anti-spam email protection.<\/li>\n
  • Zero SureCart Coupon Clutter<\/strong>: Ephemeral Just-In-Time Bridge creates temporary checkout tokens that are incinerated immediately upon order confirmation or removal.<\/li>\n
  • Dedicated Checkout Gift Card Field<\/strong>: Distinct \"\ud83c\udf81 Have a gift card?\"<\/code> accordion directly adjacent to SureCart's promotional coupon form, eliminating customer confusion.<\/li>\n
  • Real-Time Available Balance Badge<\/strong>: Shows live remaining card balance upon application with one-click removal to restore original cart totals.<\/li>\n
  • Split Tender Support<\/strong>: Partial balances apply smoothly to orders; any remaining balance stays on the card, or higher totals can be split with credit card\/PayPal.<\/li>\n
  • Native SureCart Product Integration & Wizard<\/strong>: Configure gift cards directly within SureCart > Products<\/strong> (admin.php?page=sc-products<\/code>). Toggle product types, manage preset denomination pills, set flexible expiry periods, enable email scheduling, and configure disclaimer terms directly in the product editor.<\/li>\n
  • Automatic Single Product Page Routing<\/strong>: No shortcodes required. Simply mark a SureCart product as a \"GiftRocket Gift Card\" and viewing that product automatically loads the single-page customizer.<\/li>\n
  • Live Interactive Card Preview<\/strong>: Visual preview updates live as the customer selects designs, amounts, and enters personalized recipient messages.<\/li>\n
  • Preset & Custom Amounts<\/strong>: Configure instant preset buttons (e.g. $100, $200, $300, $500) and allow optional custom amount inputs with min\/max validation.<\/li>\n
  • Occasion Design Gallery<\/strong>: Included designs for Father's Day, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, Birthdays, and General Occasions. Customers can also upload custom card artwork.<\/li>\n
  • Instant & Scheduled Delivery<\/strong>: Immediate dispatch upon order completion or queue-based scheduled delivery (date and time) powered by WP-Cron.<\/li>\n
  • Hardened Security & Concurrency<\/strong>: Row-level database transaction locking (SELECT ... FOR UPDATE<\/code>) prevents double-spending race conditions.<\/li>\n
  • Automatic Refund & Cancellation Restoration<\/strong>: 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.<\/li>\n
  • Isolated Settings Subtabs & Hash Routing<\/strong>: Dedicated subtabs for General, Form, and Email settings with scoped persistence preventing checkbox resets and URL hash routing for direct deep-linking.<\/li>\n
  • Configurable Customizer Headings<\/strong>: Customize main customizer titles, input labels, character limits, and localized validation feedback directly from the admin panel.<\/li>\n
  • Public Balance Checker Shortcode<\/strong>: Embed [giftrocket_balance_check]<\/code> anywhere on your site (e.g. \/check-balance<\/code>) to let customers check their card balance, initial value, status, and expiry with built-in rate-limited anti-abuse protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Upload the giftrocket-gift-cards-for-surecart<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>, or install the ZIP file via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins<\/strong> menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
    3. Edit any product in SureCart > Products<\/strong> to configure it directly via the built-in \ud83c\udf81 GiftRocket Wizard<\/strong> (preset price pills, expiry periods, email scheduling, and disclaimers).<\/li>\n
    4. Alternatively, navigate to SureCart > \ud83c\udf81 Gift Cards<\/strong> in your WordPress dashboard to manage all gift cards, designs, and global settings.<\/li>\n
    5. View your SureCart product permalink on the frontend to experience the live gift card customizer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      \ud83c\udfa5 Video Tutorial<\/h4>\n\n

      A full walkthrough video (tutorial-video.webm<\/code>) is included in the plugin repository assets demonstrating product wizard configuration, frontend card customization, and admin ledger management.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n

      Does this require SureCart?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes, GiftRocket - Ultimate Gift Cards for SureCart is designed specifically to extend SureCart products and checkout workflows.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Is there a video tutorial available?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes. A step-by-step tutorial video (tutorial-video.webm<\/code>) is provided in the plugin assets and detailed in the Merchant & User Guide (USER-GUIDE.md<\/code>).<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Will this pollute my SureCart \"Coupons\" admin list?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      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.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Do I need to use shortcodes?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      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]<\/code> shortcode on any page or post so customers can check their remaining gift card balance.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      How can customers check their gift card balance?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Customers can check their balance directly at checkout via the \"\ud83c\udf81 Have a gift card?\" accordion, or on any dedicated page using the [giftrocket_balance_check]<\/code> shortcode.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Can customers use a gift card across multiple orders?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes. If an order total is less than the gift card balance, the remaining balance stays on the card for future purchases.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Can I add my own card designs?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes. In WordPress Admin under SureCart > \ud83c\udf81 Gift Cards<\/strong>, you can add unlimited card designs, set custom occasion badges, and upload artwork using the WordPress Media Library.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      How are vouchers delivered to recipients?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Vouchers are delivered via branded HTML emails either instantly upon payment confirmation or scheduled for a specific date and time selected by the buyer.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
