Automated Generation of Gift Certificates
This is my first post, so please a little patience while I get up to speed. By the way I am a terrible speller which I may as well admit right off because you will fiqure it out on your own soon enough. I would like the ability to create several Gift Certificates at once. For example I would like to create 25 $10.00 Gift Certificates without having to do them one at a time. Thanks Carmen

Not clear, could explain the scenario in detail.

Re: Automated Generation of Gift Certificates
We sell several items that are price controlled by the supplier. In other words we cannot discount them. Every now and then we like to create a sale where when they purchase an item it ships with a gift certificate. Which should not only result in a sale, but also bring them back to the website for another transaction to help us increase the customer base with loyal repeat buyers.
It takes a lot of time to create each of these individually. I would like to create several at one time so that I can print them all up at once and perform order fullfillment more quickly.
The user interface might be something like this.
Create a batch of Gift Certificates
ABC Name of Batch
(an extension could be added to the name of each individual certificate like a b c ....
so that it would not be necessary to make a change to the underlying data structure)
### How Many
$$$ Amount
MM/DD/YYYY Expiration Date (or none)
For Christmas I like to send Family, Friends and Repeat Customers Gift Certificates so it would be nice for this as well.

You can do this job easily. All you need is to iterate over the required number of times and each time create a GC. Extract the attachment and place the files in Website\Admin\Payment folder. This will enable batch add option on the GiftCertifacte page.
