What your Store Credit plugin does

A focused plugin that issues store credit as a coupon code. Customers use it at checkout until it runs out.

Issue credit
Add credit to a customer from the admin or when you refund an order.
Spend over orders
Any balance left stays available for the next order.
Expiry and rules
Set an expiry date and whether credit covers shipping.
One settings page
Its own item in your WordPress admin menu, so options are easy to find and change.
Good to know: Credit works as a coupon with a balance. Selling credit as a product is a gift card job, which is a separate build.

Tell Ora what you need. Check the plan before you pay.

Describe your WooCommerce Store Credit Plugin in your own words. Ora replies with a plan and a price. Nothing is built until you approve it.

Example request
When I refund an order, I want to offer store credit instead of money back. Make a code like CREDIT-ABCD, valid for 12 months, usable on shipping, and email it to the customer.
O
Ora
Here is the plan:
  • Credit created from the refund screen
  • Code format CREDIT-ABCD, expires after 12 months
  • Balance covers shipping and carries over
  • A settings page in its own menu in your WordPress admin
Standard build · $19 once
In this build: A credit balance page in the customer account and bulk imports are not in this plan.
Want more? Add it to your request:
  • Account balance. Show the credit balance in the customer account.
  • Credit and coupons. Allow credit to be used together with other coupons.
Add these to my request and get a quote
Ora builds it together with the plugin and the quote goes up to match. You see the new price before you pay. One plugin never costs more than $39. If it needs more than one plugin, Ora quotes each one. Or add it later as a separate build.

Questions

Is there a free WooCommerce store credit plugin?

Free ones may exist. Build your own when you want exact behavior and nothing extra.

Can credit be used more than once?

Yes. Any unspent balance stays on the code and can be used on later orders until it expires.

Do I need WooCommerce?

Yes. This plugin is built for WooCommerce stores and works with your products, cart and checkout. You don't need to buy the paid Store Credit extension from WooCommerce.

Can I get a refund?

The trial fee is refunded automatically if a build fails. A purchased plugin can be refunded within 14 days if it doesn't do what the approved plan said and Ora can't fix it, as long as it hasn't been downloaded or installed.
