A lightweight WooCommerce plugin that allows you to sell digital gift cards, send them to recipients on a chosen date, and let customers select from available templates.

== Description ==

**WPTrivo Gift Cards Lite** enables store owners to sell digital gift cards in their WooCommerce stores.  
Customers can buy a gift card, select from customizable templates, schedule delivery for a future date, and send it directly to a recipient’s email.

### Features:
* Create WooCommerce products as gift cards.
* Multiple gift card templates for customers to choose from.
* Option to use **all active templates** or restrict to selected templates.
* Delivery scheduling with date picker (recipient receives email on chosen date).

* Fully translatable and WPML compatible.

This is the **Lite version**. For more advanced features (custom amounts, PDF gift cards, reminders, custom messages, etc.), upgrade to the **Pro version**.
