CartCubes Gift Card for FluentCart
Setup Guide
Mark a one-time FluentCart product as a gift card, choose fixed or custom amounts, then follow when codes issue and where shoppers redeem them.
Start here if you have not sold a gift card yet. The steps below use the same screenshots as the other tabs, in the order a merchant actually sets things up.
- One-time products only: Subscription and installment prices cannot be used, and renewals do not issue new cards.
- Per-product widget: Tick Yes, this product is a Gift Card on the product edit screen. There is no separate product type.
- Paid orders issue codes: Cards are created when the order is paid, one per unit, using your prefix and pattern.
- Redeem at checkout: Shoppers type the code in FluentCart's coupon field, apply a saved card from Have a Gift Card, or scan a QR code.
Turn gift cards on
Gift Card, Settings, General is the master switch. Enable Gift Cards is on by default. Turning it off stops new cards from paid orders and hides the checkout wallet. Default Expiry Days starts at 365 (0 means never).
Mark the product as a gift card
On the FluentCart product edit screen, open Gift Card Settings and tick Yes, this product is a Gift Card. This is not a product type or a category. Simple variants work for fixed denominations. Saving with a subscription or installment price is rejected.
Fixed versus custom amounts
Leave Allow custom amount off to sell the listed one-time price, or use simple variants for $25 / $50 / $100. Tick it to let buyers type a value on the product page, then set Minimum amount and Maximum amount in dollars. Empty means no limit.
What the buyer fills in
When Show Recipient Fields is on, the product page collects Recipient name, Recipient email, From, Message and Deliver on. Turn on Let Buyers Pick a Delivery Time to add the At hour dropdown. Quantity 2 with Allow Multiple Recipients shows Recipient 1 and Recipient 2.
When the code is issued
Codes are generated when the order is paid. No future date means the card is Active and the delivery email goes out immediately. A future Deliver on date keeps it Pending until the scheduled send. Default pattern: GIFT-XXXX-XXXX-XX.
Where customers use it
At checkout, codes apply through FluentCart's coupon field. Logged-in customers with Show Have a Gift Card on checkout enabled also see Your available cards with an Apply button. The FluentCart dashboard adds a Gift Cards tab. Optionally publish [cartcubes_giftcard_balance] for a public lookup.
