Hello all. I am a programmer/web designer but a complete newbie with WIX and Velo.
I’m trying to figure out a way (or figure out if it’s even possible) to…
Essentially this is the workflow…
-
A user purchases a digital item, upon adding it to their basket, it asks who it’s for, and for any extra notes.
-
The user buys the item and WIX pings off to something like PDFGeneratorAPI with the data from the two form fields and receives a URL to a custom PDF back. I know this can be done, as this guy does it here: Youtube - GiXVEKdmWtk (I have gone through his 3 videos and it does indeed work)
-
The user gets to a thank you page which then has a button which, when clicked, sends them to that generated PDF.
-
The user can also go to their orders page and see a link to their PDF next to the order.
-
The user, if possible, also receives an email with the link to the PDF.
Problems I’m seeing…
-
At the moment, the only way I can add custom inputs to a product is declaring it as “Physical” product. Then I can add in custom fields to the product. Adding the product as a “Digital” product does not have the options for custom fields. It’s not ideal having it as a Physical product as it asks for the user’s address which I don’t need. And I also don’t need to ship anything.
-
Doing it as a physical product (I can’t see a way around this, but please tell me otherwise!) I can’t see a way to add custom links or buttons to order items or thank you pages.
So…
I’m I chasing a lost cause? Is this possible? Or is WIX and Velo not ideal for this project?
