How to start selling WooCommerce vouchers with a custom price based on user input 🎁?

Today, you’ll learn how to set, customize, and sell WooCommerce gift cards with custom price (based on user input)! First, install the Flexible PDF Coupons plugin and Custom Price for WooCommerce. Both are free, and you will find them in the WordPress repository 🚀.

Step by step guide:

1. Download Flexible PDF Coupons – Gift Cards & Vouchers for WooCommerce
2. Install Flexible PDF Coupons in your WooCommerce store
3. Download Custom Price for WooCommerce
4. Install Custom Price in your WooCommerce store
5. Configure both plugins

Letting customers set a custom price based on their own input is especially powerful for gift-oriented products, where the “right” value depends entirely on the buyer’s budget and relationship to the recipient — not on a price you set in advance. Rather than forcing shoppers to pick from a handful of fixed denominations, custom price input meets them where they are: a $20 gift for a coworker, a $100 gift for a close friend, all handled by the same product without maintaining a separate listing for every price point.

Configure Flexible PDF Coupons in a toy store 🧸

In settings, choose the status for auto-generation of your gift cards. Coupons will be generated and sent automatically when the order status is changed to the selected status.

Then create your coupon template or use the default one.

If you decide to use your template, select format, page orientation, image; you can also add text and use two shortcodes with coupon value and coupon code.

You can check it in our free DEMO 💪.

Configure Custom Price for WooCommerce

Using only the Flexible PDF Coupons plugin can set a regular coupon price. It will always cost the same. With Custom Price for WooCommerce (free plugin), you will allow your customers to self-define a product price 🏷️.

So how to do this?

1. Go to the Custom Price for WooCommerce settings
2. Choose the name of the Price Label
   
3. Edit a product which is a voucher in your shop
4. Enable the custom price checkbox
5. Set up minimum and maximum price

Now you can see a new field on your product page with the Voucher product. From now on, customers will be able to define their coupon value. Setting a minimum price is essential for the customer to buy the product with the lowest price in the store. This is especially important for someone who buys a gift card 😊.

Setting sensible minimum and maximum values isn’t just a technical formality — it protects both your business and your customers. A minimum price prevents someone from accidentally entering an unreasonably low value that wouldn’t cover your costs, while a maximum keeps the input field from feeling unbounded or confusing. For a gift card or voucher product specifically, a clear price range also signals to customers what a “typical” gift amount looks like in your store, which can nudge the average order value upward without ever feeling pushy.

Your store with a custom price based on user input

The ability to enter a custom price in a toy store is attractive to customers. Customers do not have to choose a specific gift, but they will give the option to select a gift with a voucher. This way, they avoid unwanted gifts that will surely not bring joy. Gift cards in a toy store will be popular for Christmas and Children’s Day 🎄.

As you see, using two free plugins can make your shop irresistibly attractive to customers. What are some of your favourite ways to make your customers love you? No idea? See our blog and make your shop exciting and beautiful for your customers 🎁.
