When a product is a gift card created with Advanced Gift Cards for WooCommerce, you can show its value directly on the product label using the {agc_gift_card_value} placeholder. The value appears formatted as currency — for example, $150.00 — and the label only shows on actual gift card products, so you can apply it store-wide without worrying about it appearing on regular products. This article walks you through enabling the integration and using the placeholder in a label.
What You’ll Need
- Advanced Promo Kit installed and active
- Advanced Gift Cards for WooCommerce Advanced Gift Cards for WooCommerce installed and active — the integration toggle is greyed out if this plugin is not running
Step 1: Enable the Advanced Gift Cards Integration
- Go to Promo Kit → Settings in your WordPress admin sidebar.
- Click Integrations in the left navigation panel.
- Find Advanced Gift Cards for WooCommerce and turn on its toggle.
The toggle saves automatically — no Save button needed. Once enabled, the {agc_gift_card_value} placeholder becomes available in the label editor.
Step 2: Add the Gift Card Value Placeholder to a Label
- Go to Promo Kit → Create Label (or open an existing label to edit it). How to Create Product Labels in Advanced Promo Kit
- On the General tab, click the Variables panel on the right to expand it.
- Under Variable: Advanced Gift Cards for WooCommerce, click
{agc_gift_card_value}to insert it into the Badge Text field. - Write your label text around the placeholder. For example: Gift Card — {agc_gift_card_value} value
- Style the label on the Style tab, then set any display conditions on the Conditions tab.
- Click Save.
The badge preview in the editor shows an example value of $150.00 for {agc_gift_card_value}. On your live storefront, the actual value is read from each gift card product’s price as set in WooCommerce.
When the Label Is Hidden
Advanced Promo Kit hides the label if {agc_gift_card_value} resolves to empty for a given product. This happens in two situations:
- The product is not a gift card. If a product is a standard WooCommerce product rather than one created as a gift card via Advanced Gift Cards for WooCommerce, the placeholder resolves to empty and the label is hidden for that product.
- Advanced Gift Cards for WooCommerce is not active. If the plugin is deactivated after the integration was enabled,
{agc_gift_card_value}cannot be resolved and the label is hidden on all products.
This means you can apply a label using {agc_gift_card_value} to your entire store and it will only appear on actual gift card products — no extra conditions needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the gift card value formatted?
The value is formatted as a WooCommerce currency amount — using the same currency symbol, decimal separator, and position you have configured in WooCommerce → Settings → General. For example, a $150 gift card shows as $150.00.
The integration toggle is greyed out. What do I do?
Advanced Gift Cards for WooCommerce is not installed or is deactivated on your site. Install and activate it first, then return to Promo Kit → Settings → Integrations and reload the page. The toggle will become active.
Can I combine {agc_gift_card_value} with other placeholders in the same label?
Yes. How to Use Dynamic Content Placeholders in Product Labels For example, Gift Card — {agc_gift_card_value} value (save {discount_percent}!) uses two placeholders. If either resolves to empty for a product, the label will not be shown for that product.
My badge text looks cramped or cut off. How do I fix it?
Open the Style tab and increase Width (Pixel) and Height (Pixel). The default size (160×30px) suits short text, but longer labels benefit from something like 240–280px wide and 36–40px tall. The preview updates in real time so you can adjust until it looks right.
