I have a customer interested in selling gift certificates on her site. She wants her clients to pay online and be able to immediately print a nice looking customized gift certificate. (She does not want an invoice/table layout sort of look.)
She wants a variety prices of gift certificates. Each certificate will be customized with a unique number, recipient name, and a "note" to the recipient. My customer wants an attractive, nicely designed certificate. It's also important to her to have it immediately available for her client to print it. I'm thinking that generating a PDF on the fly is the best way to create a printable gift certificate. Does anyone know of a cart or other gift certificate solution that could work? Thanks.

We issue tickets for activities over the internet and use pdf which seems to work pretty well.
We set up a template but we do have to change the numbers and info by hand, I would probably recomend using multiple confirmation numbers to guarantee that no one prints their own. |

You could definitely use php or another program to generate a pdf on the fly.
I have seen a few companies do it, where their gift certificate is an elaborate picture / promotion, with a white box somewhere on the page. They dynamically generate the pdf with the picture as the background and use a separate layer to fill in the code in the box of the certificate. I don't think it would be extremely hard, but I haven't seen a program that does it. I would check hotscripts maybe, and keep asking around. I'm sure that something exists out there. |
