Frequently asked questions
When is the gift card created?
When the order is paid (status Processing or Completed). If the delivery date is today, the email leaves immediately; otherwise it is sent in the morning of the chosen day.
Can a gift card be used several times?
Yes. If the order costs less than the card, the rest stays on the card.
Can a gift card pay for another gift card?
No, gift card products are excluded from gift card codes.
Do scheduled emails need WP-Cron?
Yes, like all scheduled WordPress tasks. On most hosts it works out of the box.
