Create Gift Certificate from form

Hi all,

I need to come up with a solution for my client who wants to sell gift certificates from his website. It seems to me that I should be able to accomplish this with Gravity Forms and the PayPal add-in. Here's what I need to do:-

1) purchaser fills out gift certificate request form on website page (supplying name, address, etc)
2) purchaser clicks button to pay via PayPal
3) following purchase, customer is returned to site which displays the gift certificate as a page which they can print out there and then
4) a link to the certificate page (which only they have access to) is emailed to the purchaser so they can reprint it later

Could this be done with a combination of Gravity Forms, Custom post-types, PayPal add-on and User Registration add-on?

I would really appreciate some input here - anyone done this before?

I been trying to hack this same functionality together, i'll let you know what I figure out. It seems like it would be even easier than what you've outlined. My idea was just to have a dropdown box with say 4 services, or a fill in amount for the quantity of the gift card. The buyer would then fill out their information (address, email, phone, recipient) and click "buy now". They would go to paypal, complete payment and then a simple unique code would b logged into their form submission. Paypal even provide a unique transaction code that could be used. The code could be automatically emailed to the buyer as a "gift card code" that they use upon requesting service. A feature request? :)

I'm going to be working on this a bit more this week, i'll let you know what I figure out.

any luck?

I finally just moved on with this using wepay. I used we pay to sell "tickets for events" as gift cards. It actually worked pretty good until the client decided they were no longer interested! Oh well. Using wepay was a quick and easy way to solve it though. Tickets work just like gift cards.

I just read this post looking to make gift certificates via gravity forms. After looking for solutions that I did not have to code myself... I ended up just generating them through paypal.
