Introduction

Wix Velo is a full-stack development platform that empowers you to build, manage and deploy professional web apps rapidly. You can use PDF Generator API to quickly generate PDF documents using the data you already have in your Velo site (e.g. store orders, database records etc.). You can find the example integration built with Velo and PDF Generator API here.

Use-cases

Here are some use-cases that you might have in your application. If you have a use-case that we have not covered, please contact us support@pdfgeneratorapi.com

Generate a PDF with data from your Wix site

It the previous examples we have used static object as the data parameter value, but it is also possible to use your data from Wix database. The ability to use data directly from your database gives you a lot of possibilities to generate transactional documents like invoices, packing slips, certificates and reports. In the example repository you can find getStoreProducts function in backend/datasource.jsw which shows how to get your product records from Wix database.

Send generated PDF via email

Most of the transactional email APIs (e.g SendGrid, Mailchimp) allow you to add attachments to your email as base64 encoded content. You can use the same generatePDF function to generate the base64 PDF content and add it directly to your email API request.

Generate a URL to PDF

Our API allows you to generate PDF and store it temporarily (for 30 days) to our service. You can access the generated PDF via unique URL that you receive as API request response. You can use the generatePDFUrl function that you can find in backend/pdfapi.jsw. You can use the link to open generated PDF from your application without storing it on your application.

What our customers say about us?

I would recommend PDF Generator API to everyone that needs to print something into PDF. Think about it: if you are creating software that focuses on accounting then you want to focus on accounting. You shouldn't waste time with coding fancy forms that you can easily drag-drop using PDF Generator API.

PDF Generator API allows our customers to quickly design and print multiple template types for Invoices, Picking/Packing Slips, Drop Notes, Address labels and pretty much any other document. Building a similar functionality in-house would have cost a lot of money in terms of resource.
