Pre-sale Question - Printable Gift Certificates

Hi everyone,

I'd like to sell gift certificates through Hikashop(Business), which people can print and take to the physical shop.

1. Is this something I would use Hikaserial for?
2. Can I have a unique serial number on each certificate, to make sure it's only used once?
3. I need customers to be able to add a personal message on the gift certificate. Is this possible?

Hi,

Yes it's something which could be done with HikaSerial.
It would generate a unique serial and if you use the "consume" feature, you would be able to have a special "status" in your database in order to validate if the serial is real and if it has been already used or not.

The AttachSerial plugin could read data from the order or from the product item. So you can create a custom field for the special message and display it in the image.
(But a little improvement should be added in order to manage when the text would be displayed outside of the image in order to put the rest of the message on a new line).

Regards,

That's great, thanks Jerome!
