Chit bridges your physical sales and your WooCommerce digital downloads. Print a code on a card, sticker, leaflet, or receipt; the customer enters the code on your site to receive access to the productÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s downloadable files. Picture this for selling in person at a market Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’re selling your books but normally through webstore orders people get a PDF download too. This squares the circle.
It plugs into WooCommerceÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s existing download system rather than reinventing it. When a code is redeemed, Chit creates a real (zero-total) WooCommerce order for the customer, marks it complete, and WooCommerce grants the download permissions exactly as it would for a paid order. The redemption appears in the customerÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s My Account Downloads page and in WooCommerce Orders with a note explaining its origin.
What you get
- Batch generation — generate any number of codes for a product in one go, with optional batch notes (e.g. “Christmas flyer 2025” or “Games day 2026”) so you can find them later.
- Crockford-base32 code format —
CHIT-XXXX-XXXX, with no ambiguous characters (no 0/O, 1/I/L, or U/V confusion) so theyÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’re easy to read off prints. - Admin code browser — list table with status, batch, and product filters; sortable columns; per-row Revoke action; pagination.
- Customer-facing redemption page — auto-created on activation with the
[chit_redeem]shortcode. Requires login (codes are tied to user accounts so customers can re-download anytime). - CSV export — three-column export (code, product name, redeem URL) suitable for mail merges or label printing.
- PDF-ready print sheet — 2×5 grid of cards per A4 page, each card showing product name, SKU, code, and the redeem URL. Uses the browserÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s native “Save as PDF” so quality is excellent and there are no third-party dependencies.
- Reports — at-a-glance counts (unused / activated / revoked) plus a top-products breakdown with activation rates.
How it integrates with WooCommerce
Chit does not maintain its own download permissions. On activation it creates a WooCommerce order on the customerÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s account with the redeemed product as a line item and a $0 total, then sets the order status to completed. WooCommerceÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s existing download-permission machinery takes care of the rest: the customer sees the order in their account, the download file appears in My Account Downloads, the download counter and any expiry rules you have configured all behave normally.

FAQ
-
Where does the customer enter their code?
-
On the auto-created Redeem Chit Code page (slug
/redeem-chit-code/by default). The page contains the[chit_redeem]shortcode, which renders the redemption form. You can move the shortcode to any other page or post and link to it from your menus. -
Does the customer need an account?
-
Yes. Codes grant download permission to a specific WooCommerce account so the customer can re-download the file later. Guests who try to redeem are sent to the login page first.
-
Can the same code be redeemed twice?
-
No. Codes are single-use. Once redeemed, the status flips to
activatedpermanently. If you need multi-use license-key behaviour, thatÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s a different use case and not currently supported. -
I generated 50 codes for the wrong product. Can I cancel them?
-
Yes. Visit Chit View Codes, filter by the batch number, and click Revoke on each (or use the batch dropdown to scope the list). Revoked codes canÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t be redeemed.
-
How are PDFs generated?
-
The Print PDF action opens a standalone HTML page laid out for A4 print; you then use your browserÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s Print Save as PDF option.
-
The customer gets a “your order is complete” email after redeeming. Is that intentional?
-
ItÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s WooCommerceÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s default behaviour for any order moving to completed status. The email is useful as it contains the download link.
-
What about uninstalling?
-
Deactivating leaves your data intact. Deleting the plugin from the Plugins screen runs the uninstall script, which drops the
chit_codesandchit_batchestables and clears the related options. The auto-created redemption page is not deleted — you can remove it manually from Pages Trash. -
What capability is required for admin actions?
-
manage_woocommerce — the same capability WooCommerce uses for its own back-office screens. Shop managers can use Chit; regular subscribers cannot.
