Hello -
I've been searching for a script which will allow me to offer Gift Certificates to a dinner theatre for sale online. I already use a simple form based CGI shopping cart, but that means I must manually run billing and ship the gift certificate after receiving the order. I would like to offer a 'print at home' feature, as well as offer the option to receive a physical gift certificate in the mail. Here are some of the requirements:
Gift certificates are a fixed value. They are basically 'virtual tickets' which must be used to make a reservation before the expiration date.
A gift certificate must include a unique (currently consecutive) number to verify authenticity when compared to our records.
There are two gift certificate types offered, at two different price levels. That's it - just two. We also offer something called "Dining Room Dollars" which is basically a cash voucher of 10 or 15 dollars to be used in our dining room and gift shop. These can be ordered for shipping or printed at home as a voucher which you must present at box office to get the actual, usable certificate. A unique number would be needed for these as well.
I can provide more details as well as samples of what we want and need. I would love to provide some sort of online payment gateway, but it is possible to process credit cards manually if we need to.
I've basically looked all over and found no self hosted script to do what I want other than a module in Zen Cart which I could never get working.
I would prefer this be in CGI, but I can get my web host to implement PHP and MySQL if need be... which I should do anyway.
This is a paid request - it would save my company countless hours of labor and create new sales, I think.
Thank you in advance...
Steve
