Multiple Gift Purchases

Hey there, @bebizzy! Thanks for contacting us. I’m happy to help you.

Do you mind sharing more details about your client’s needs so we can look for possible solutions?

• The product will be physical, right?
• From what I understand the customer would purchase something that would need to be shipped for up to 10 people, but all tied to the same order, right?
• Are you also looking on how to manage inventory for this?

You also mentioned having a solution, but looking for a better one. Can you share more about the solution you found and what can be improved?

This way we will be able to provide a more tailored answer for you ??

Looking forward to your reply.

Have a wonderful day!

It is a physical product ( usually a calendar)

Yes, shipped to up to 10 different people, tied to the same order

Not looking for inventory management.

The solution now is, they make the order in WooCommerce (purchase up to all 10), on the confirmation page, there’s a link embedded with the order number. When they click the link it goes to a Gravity Form which autopopulates the order ID, and then starts providing fields for the gift purchases. When the form is submitted, all of it goes to someone who handles the shipping in a CSV exported.

It’s a multi-app solution that is bulky at best, but at least got the job done (poorly), and when it comes time to repurchase it will be impossible to say repurchase the same as last year populated with the same names/addresses.

Hi @bebizzy,

Thank you for the additional details, this is something that goes outside the scope of our support, as it’s not a core feature of our plugin, however, the beauty of WordPress plugins is that there are multiple options to enhance your site through custom code or plugins, maybe a quick Google Search or another would take you in the right direction!

I’m going to leave this thread open for a bit to see if anyone is able to chime in to help you out.

I can also recommend the Woo Developer Resources Portal for resources on developing for Woo.

You can also visit the WooCommerce Facebook group or the #developers Woo Community Slack channel. We’re lucky to have a great community of open-source developers for Woo, and many of our developers hang out there, as well.

Cheers!
