[wps_check_your_gift_card_balance] Shortcode

The WooGiftCards Lite plugin shortcode ‘wps_check_your_gift_card_balance’ allows users to check their gift card balance. It generates a form with two input fields: one for the recipient’s email and another for the gift card code. Upon clicking the ‘Check Balance’ button, the plugin communicates with the server to retrieve and display the remaining balance. The shortcode also includes a loading gif that appears while the balance is being fetched.

Shortcode: [wps_check_your_gift_card_balance]

Examples and Usage

Basic example – Utilizes the default shortcode to check gift card balance. This shortcode doesn’t require any parameters, it simply displays the form where users can enter their recipient email and gift card code.

[wps_check_your_gift_card_balance]

Advanced examples

Unfortunately, the provided shortcode does not accept any parameters, hence advanced examples with different parameters cannot be provided. The shortcode is designed to output a specific HTML structure for checking the balance of a gift card, and its output does not vary based on parameters. This is due to the specific functionality of the Woo-Gift-Cards-Lite plugin, which is to allow users to check their gift card balance.

However, if you’re looking for customization such as changing the labels, placeholders or button text, these would typically be handled within the plugin settings or directly in the code, rather than through shortcode parameters.
