So I tried using Gifted, and really didn’t like the way that it ran external to the site. I want the ability to offer gift cards in my site and to allow customers to redeem them in the checkout process.
So far I have:
- Landing page where customers can read about the cards
- Store product where they can purchase the card.
- Ability to check balance by querying the database.
At the moment, I am fine creating the database entries themselves, but if this picks up it would be nice to find a way to create the entries themselves and generate a code number for the gift card.
I also need a way to apply the gift card at checkout. I previously used coupon codes, but if the purchase doesn’t exceed the value of the gift card (coupon value) I would have to manually edit the coupon code value for the remaining balance.
Doe anyone have experience doing this without a third party app? I already have the database created and some functionality, I just need to tie it all together. Are there any tutorials for how to do this, or possibly a freelancer that can show me their work and I would consider paying to finish this portion?
Thanks in advance!
