Reviews
I have no time to waste on developers that promise everything in a plugin then make it impossible to even test without buying a full version.
Open Source is open source for a reason. Garbage developers like this are polluting the Open Source community and destroying it one over-commercialized product at a time.
I have no problem with people wanting to make money on their work. But don’t lie while doing it.
Will never recommenced this product or developer.

Good plugin that does what it says, sell gift certificates. They have bundle packs that brought more functionality, but you have to use their core, as this lite version is not integrated with their addons. Their support is quick to assist and glad that they’re on it. I recommend it to any business that want to sell gift certificates.
After paying for this product, I encountered some difficulty with the install. Consulted the WPGC website for assistance, consulted the video tutorials (plural). The only thing available is a basic installation video. To get any more assistance you must login? Keep in mind, I just paid for a bundle of products. I contacted their support for my login? Informed that I must pay for a “Membership” Even though the product was supposed to come with 30 Days of Support? So you purchase a product from this company and they hold you hostage for more money to get instructional video support?
Stay away from them, they are unethical and canceled my purchase because I questioned their policy and practices.
Got a warning,..

I have to say how incredibly disappointed, upset, confused, raked over the coals I feel with your Gift Certificate plugin for WordPress (WP Gift Certificate Reloaded Modular). I simply can’t believe that you would offer a free “lite” version that integrates into PayPal, then sell a commercial version that does not!!! It’s simply wrong, bad business, shady, money hungry, etc… I’m referring to your commercial core. There were no required modules for the free plugin in order to integrate into PayPal.
Because your free/lite version only offers 1 amount / 1 certificate, I tested and went ahead and bought the core (non-tracking) for $20, then a flexible pricing module for $20.00. Ok, $40 later, I install, setup and I still can’t sell gift certificates / accept payment through PayPal which AGAIN, was part of the functionality of the FREE/lite version?!!
Nowhere on your website was it stated that a payment module was required if you upgrade. The Paypal module itself currently states “Integrated with this add-on is live and sandbox mode. You can sell your own business certificates. It supports several currencies from different coutries.”.
Your FREE version also has both a paypal sandbox mode and live mode, but your core does not and is now considered an add-on module sold for $30? Ok, now $70 later…
I might have only been able to sell 1 certificate for a fixed amount with the free version, but now it’s considered “commercial”?? Come on, really… I already quoted my client, so guess who now gets to eat this one! Your website is so vague that you can’t even understand what exactly is being offered, covered or sold. Oh, it looks pretty though.
I’ve done business online for over 20 years and it’s been a long time since I’ve been left with such a poor feeling for a company and the way they do business. Rest assured, it will be the last. You might want to spend a little less time marketing and iron out your business plan.
When I posted this in the support forum, the reply from the developer was that he doesn’t know me?! Not very helpful.
