Timeline for Email to Gift Recipient
The notification email that is sent to the gift recipient is scheduled after a payment goes through.
A gift-giver can set a specific day to send the notification by checking the "Send a gift message to recipient" box, thereby revealing the "When do you want them to receive this message" box. Clicking that box opens a calendar the gift-giver can click to set a specific send date.
Otherwise, the gift recipient email will be scheduled to send 1 minute after the payment goes through.
Shortcode for Gift Subscription page
To limit which levels display in the “Select plan” dropdown, use the subscription_plans attribute like the example below.
[leaky_paywall_gift_subscriptions subscription_plans="0,1"]
Change the email message sent to the purchaser and/or recipient
1. Go to Leaky Paywall > Settings > Email in the WP admin.
2. You can edit the subject and message for the purchaser email, and the recipient email.
How To Check if a Gift Has Been Redeemed
1. Go to Leaky Paywall > Subscribers in the WP admin.
2. Scroll to the right to the "Gift Code" column.
3. If a code has the word "redeemed" by it, then the subscriber has redeemed their gift subscription.
You can also do an export using the Leaky Paywall Reporting Tool and check the "gift_redeemed" column for either yes or no.
How To Add Custom Fields to the Gift Registration Form
In this example we will be adding address fields for the Gift Giver.
Using the "lp_gift_sub_after_billing_fields" action, you can use the example below to add your fields to the form.
Then, using the "lp_gift_subs_details_array" filter, you can save that data. See the example below.
