Selling gift certificates

[Vger]

There should be a workaround for this, but it's not ideal. The ideal solution would be a custom coded module.

If you post out Gift Certificates to people and you charge postage on them, even if only a nominal amount, then set them up as normal Products, and give them a weight. Then when you receive the order set up a Discount Coupon and insert the number of it into the printed Gift Certificate and post that off to the buyer. Make sure it it set for single customer, single use. They can then use the Gift Certificate online (albeit as a Discount Coupon).

hi, I am choosing to use the PayPal gift certificates on my site instead of Zencarts. The code ect. is placed in an EZ-Page. I have a link on my site for people to buy them. Its under important links, no photo, which I would like to have. I still would like to use ZenCarts gift certificate; Que, Mail and sent modules to keep records. I am not sure how to put the gift certificates in my categories for products for sale as a new listing. Maybe I won't need to do that. I am wondering how others may go about handling the PayPal gift certicates on their site. Would you just list them for sale as a link on the site? Is or have anyone considered doing any of this? What would be the best way to advertise the gift certificates on the site? thank you
