Sell dynamic PDF-Reports

    Hello dear WC community!

    I would like to implement the following with a Woocommerce-based site:

    • Visitors can fill out a questionnaire and get a short report-preview of their results
    • Visitors can then buy an extended report and then receive it as a PDF to download/by email
    • After the purchase, users should not be able to receive a new report, so there should be restrictions to avoid exploitation
    • The purchased PDF report should be available to the user as a download on his member page

      • I just wanted to ask the community if anyone has a implementation idea (or plugins) for something like that.

      In order to evaluate the test and generate the PDF, I probably can’t avoid writing my own WordPress plugin.
      However, I wanted to implement the payment function and the management of rights with external (Woocommerce) plugins.

      A main problem is that functions/plugins for digital products usually only have a static file (fixed image, document, etc.) stored. However, I would have to generate a new (dynamic) PDF when purchasing it and store it for the individual user.

      I am grateful for any help!

      Best regards Ilke

    Hi @ilke01,

    What you’re trying to do here with dynamically generated PDF files requires you to write quite a bit of complicated custom code.

    I’d recommend speaking to your developer about helping you build something that meets your needs. If you don’t have a go-to developer, we highly recommend contacting one of the services on our customizations page: https://woocommerce.com/customizations/.

    If you’re a developer yourself and you have an idea how to go about it, but you’re stuck on some pieces of the technical implementation, you may be able to get some advice in the Advanced WooCommerce Facebook Group

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
