Boost Sales With the WordPress Printable Gift Certificate Plugin

December 10, 2010

Offering gift certificates for purchase on your website is a strategic way to attract new customers to your business and increase purchases during the holiday season. It’s one of the best ways to get customers in the door. The new WordPress Printable Gift Certificate plugin makes it very easy. It lets you sell and manage printable gift certificates directly through your WordPress dashboard. This is an excellent plugin and sales tool for any business that offers products and/or services.

Jump Start Your Holiday Sales with Printable Gift Certificates

How does the plugin work? After your customer pays through the PayPal website, notification is sent back to the plugin and a unique gift certificate is created and e-mailed to the payer. Each certificate includes a QR code, which allows you to validate the certificate in the field.

The best feature of this plugin is that it’s fully integrated with PayPal IPN, so you don’t need to add a shopping cart with all of its bulking tables just to sell gift certificates.

You can set the value of the certificates or you can allow the buyer to specify the amount of the certificate. The included shortcodes let you easily add the certificate to display on any post or page on your WordPress site. After that, the entire purchase process and the certificate email are completely automated for you. Simply turn it on and let the certificates sell themselves.

Whereas previously you might have used PayPal’s “buy now” button or some other method involving a shopping cart to provide gift certificates, this plugin simplifies everything for you. It provides a much more elegant way to create and manage gift certificates. Simply install and activate the plugin and you’ll be just in time for selling holiday gift certificates through WordPress!

Because this plugin/widget is provided free of charge, I simply ask you to link back to Pressography.com in a post on your blog, or from one of your sites. It doesn't need to be anything fancy - just a note saying that you're using it, and whether or not you like it. However, there is no requirement that you do this, you're free to use the plugin regardless.
