Gift this product

Do you want to buy a product but you’re not 100% sure that your friend will like it? And so go better for a gift card?

Well, thanks to the Gift this product option, you can buy a gift card but make sure you also recommend a specific product. The amount of the gift card will be the same as the product price, so it’s all up to the recipient to choose whether to use the gift card for that product or for any other product in the shop.

To enable this feature, you have to enable first the Gift this product module from the Modules section in the plugin settings.
