Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can customers send e-cards to multiple recipients with eCardWidget?
A: In pre-checkout mode, customers can send an e-card to one recipient. In post-purchase mode, you can set a limit on the number of recipients or allow unlimited sending, depending on your preference.
Q: Do customers own the e-cards they purchase, and can they resend the cards at a later date?
A: Customers do not own the e-cards in their collection but can resend the e-card to the allowed number of recipients at a later date.
Q: How does the email limit in the pricing guide work?
A: The email limit refers to the total number of emails sent using the widget, not the number of e-cards sold. For example, in the free plan with a limit of 15 emails per month, if a customer sends an e-card to 15 recipients, it would reach the maximum for your account and emails would be disabled until the next month.
Q: Is it possible to set up a single product page for a card design with both pre-checkout and post-purchase options as variants?
A: Currently, eCardWidget does not support setting up both options as variants within a single product page. However, you can enable both pre-checkout and post-purchase modes simultaneously, and customers can use either or both features depending on their needs.
Q: If a customer purchases a card with a maximum of 25 sends, can they come back and send more after reaching the limit?
A: Yes, once a customer reaches the sending limit, it will reset the next day, allowing them to come back and send more. This is because the browser session used to track sends resets each day.
Q: How can customers access the e-card sending page again?
A: Customers can access the sending page again by using the link provided in their original confirmation email. It’s not necessary for them to have a website account, as the link will grant them access to the widget on the confirmation page.
