What is a PDF gift card and how is it different from a regular voucher?
A PDF gift card is a digital, downloadable file generated for a WooCommerce order that carries a WooCommerce coupon code on it. It can be emailed to the buyer or recipient and either redeemed online or printed out and used in person – which is the main difference between a “gift card” and a plain text “voucher” code: the PDF gives you a designed, shareable, printable artifact instead of just a string of characters.
