Retrieve eGift Card number and/or pay with eGift Card in WooCommerce

[skafte]

Hi there,

We've recently started selling Gift Cards and eGift Cards.

I think it would be really useful to be able to either see a preview of the eGift Card that the customer has bought or at least be able to retrieve the full gift card code.

The reason why I'd like to be able to retrieve the code is that I intend to manually set up WooCommerce coupons so that our customers can use their eGift Cards online as well as in our shop. This is currently not possible, which is a real shame. I thought that using the Square WooCommerce payment gateway ('Square for WooCommerce') would enable customers to pay with their eGift Card. As this isn't currently possible, the only workaround I can think of is to manually set up coupons with the same number as the gift card number. I hope that makes sense. It's not an ideal solution though as it would require manually updating the gift card balance every time someone uses an eGift Card either in our shop or online, but unless you make it possible to pay with eGift Cards via your WooCommerce plugin, then it's the next best option.

Hope to see this improved and many thanks for listening to my feedback!

Please find more information about this proposal here – you'll also notice that the idea has already received two 'likes' from other Square users:
