Introduction
For Shopify Plus merchants who wish to issue store credit as a true alternative form of payment or for crowdfunding or pre-orders, you can bulk import store credit in the amount the customer pledged, and then enable them to apply it toward the full cart costs including taxes, shipping, and fees. This will allow the order to be created in Shopify without any additional amount being transacted at Checkout. To use this feature, you will need to install the Shopwaive Gift Cards extension by creating a custom app on your store. Reach out to support@shopwaive.com for any support needed, but this typically takes only 1 - 2 minutes to complete. Shopify Plus is required.
