A WooCommerce extension for issuing and selling store credit that customers can spend across several orders. It is used by stores that offer credit instead of cash refunds, as rewards, or as gift cards. If you only need part of it, you can get a focused plugin built for your own site and pay once.
Store Credit for WooCommerce: $99 a year for one site (1-year subscription (one production site)).
Your own plugin on Pluginora: from $9 once, with 5 free changes. Try it first for $1.
What Store Credit for WooCommerce does
- Sell store credit as gift cards with preset or custom amounts
- Send store credit coupons to one or many customers, including guests
- Balance carries over across orders until used or expired
- Credit shown in cart, checkout and a My Account page
- Restrict credit to products or categories and choose if it covers shipping
- Expiry dates, tax handling and custom emails
Free version: No.
What you can build instead
A Pluginora plugin does one job for your site. For Store Credit for WooCommerce, that could be:
- Issue a credit balance to a customer from the admin
- Let the customer apply the balance at checkout
- Deduct the amount used and keep the remainder
- Show the balance in My Account
A small custom plugin would not replace selling credit as gift cards, recipient messages, or the full set of restrictions, tax and expiry options.

When Store Credit for WooCommerce is the better choice
- You want to sell store credit as gift cards as well as issue it
- You need balances, expiry, tax handling and restrictions all managed
- You rely on the block checkout, HPOS and REST API support being maintained
When your own plugin makes more sense
- You use one or two of its features, not the whole package.
- You would rather pay once than renew every year.
- You want it to work exactly the way your site needs, and to change it on request.
How to get your own
- Describe it. For example: “Let me give a customer a store credit balance from their user profile and let them spend it at checkout over several orders, showing what is left in My Account.”
- See the plan and price. Ora replies with what it will build and a fixed price. Nothing is built until you approve.
- Try it for $1. Test it on a practice site for 7 days, then keep it and pay the rest once.
