online downloadable vouchers

I use VoucherPress – a Wordpress plugin for creating downloadable, printable vouchers - stillbreathing.co.uk on one site. It's a plugin for wordpress so not sure if that helps or not since you didn't mention what platform you're using to build this site.

It's really easy to setup and use.

There is a way.

Since you basically link to the voucher, you could install wordpress in a sub-folder somewhere on the site and create the vouchers there. You would need to make sure that the directory wasn't protected by your membership script.

It would just take up a little more server space and you would have to login there to view voucher stats or download collected emails if you enable that option.

If you can't find any other way, it could be a workaround for you.

You can see an example here apmhvac.com (in the sidebar)

Yep, that's pretty much it.

You would then just place links wherever you wanted them to the vouchers or do what I did and make an image and link those.

If you have another wordpress site, you could install it there to check it out first but I think it will do everything you want.

Jack,

You aren't actually integrating anything. As long as your wordpress installation directory is at the same level or above your protected membership area.

Your site will probably be like

domain.com
domain.com/members

if you added

domain.com/blog

These two wouldn't interfere with each other at all

domain.com/members/blog

would cause a problem because the blog directory is being protected by the membership script.

If you still aren't comfortable trying this, I could help you. I'm about to leave right now though so it would be later this evening.

Hey Gail,

we installed wordpress and deleted everything... only joking hehe, its all working ok and we have installed the plugin too.
If we have any questions i will give you a shout

thanks again
Jack

LOL, that's hilarious! I bet you did have your fingers crossed there for a bit though.

I'm back now so lmk if you need any help. I'm on central time U.S.

If you aren't laughing, you aren't living.

Ok, a few answers

1. There's no setting that I know of but someone could probably crawl through the code located in the wordpress plugins folder /plugins/voucherpress if they knew what they're doing. I don't think I would try it though. I had a quick look through it, and it's pretty much jibberish. Depending on your budget, you might hire a coder to take a look.

2. You can place links to these vouchers anywhere you want. In or out of your members area. Once you create your voucher, just go to your vouchers in the admin panel in the newly added section below settings.

You will see a list of vouchers you've created, click on the "Shortcodes" link above your voucher and it will give you a shortcode to use within wordpress and a full hyperlink you can use anywhere.

3. You create your vouchers right there within the admin section in the voucher. You can create a new template which is just the blank image file and basically just add the border you want in photoshop or any graphics program. I haven't used it myself, I just used one of the stock templates.

4. I hadn't noticed that since I make the ones I use instantly printable without requiring an email. It's for a friends hvac business and he want's to make it as easy as possible to get that coupon in a customers hand.

Here's a plugin that may be able to help you change that.
WordPress › WP Mail SMTP « WordPress Plugins

If that doesn't work, you might try contacting the developers of the plugin to see what they suggest.

Good luck with it, I hope you can get it working the way you want.
