Printable, numbered gift certificates

**Learning1** · 25 Nov 2009, 12:15 AM

I have searched and read several threads on Gift Certificates, but what I need is the ability to allow someone to purchase a gift certificate in Zen Cart - BUT print it out or download so it can be given to someone to use in a brick & mortar store, NOT online.

I have seen that OsCommerce has a addon to do that, but I'd like to avoid having to re-create a new shopping cart just for that feature. The OsCommerce version uses ImageMagick to create the downloadable certificate with a unique number after being purchased. I can provide more details if someone needs them, but I'd really be grateful if someone has already made this happen.

'tis the season, please help.

I would be interested in this feature as well. Usually you can port the oscommerce addon to zencart with only few modifications.

Do you have a link to the specific OSCommerce addon?

Sounds like a great addition for Zen Cart.

Here is the link to the OsCommerce add-on

I have been emailing with the developer - Ken Owens, but he has not worked with Zen Cart....yet.

If someone figures this out, please let me now.

If someone wants to do dome coding, here are the instructions for Porting the OCSCommerce module to Zencart. I had a look but strangely, the module has a lot of files. And I dont have a lot of time at the moment to look through them.

Hope someone with time is motivated.

I have little experience in PHP, but I had a look too. To me it looks like it uses a different method that Zen Cart. I looked at the address_book.php file, it looks like an actual page where the Zen Cart address_book.php is all basic "define".

Any have suggestions?
