It works, for what it is

So, to counter the other good/bad reviews….

What isn’t clearly explained is that to make this work you add the shortcode
[giftcertificateslite]
to the page you want to set up certificate sales on.

This works as expected and takes the user to a PayPal payment screen after they’ve entered their information, after which it will track your certificates for you.

The downsides (what it won’t do):

*Can only create certificates with one pre-set dollar amount
*No easy way to design or add your logo and the design of the certificate is VERY basic and no frills

For me, those two downsides make this plugin unusable, but they might not be dealkillers for you, so YMMV.

There are a great deal more options in the paid version, but it’s frankly a little pricey for what we need at this time.
