Matt Wells shows how SendOwl stamps PDFs with buyer names and emails at checkout. The stamp is non-removable and personalizes each copy, discouraging unauthorized sharing. Use curly-brace variables to pull order data into the stamp.
When you sell a PDF from SendOwl, we can automatically add a stamp along the bottom of every page. And that stamp can include any details you need: your buyer's name, email address, or other information from their order. Of course, this gives your buyer an impressive, personalized experience. But it also helps deter them from sharing your PDF with others. The stamp can't be edited or removed. Before you create your first PDF stamp, we recommend setting up your Sendowl checkout so that each buyer enters their name while they make their purchase. That's very useful for stamping. Now let's create a new stamp to use on a PDF sewing pattern. We'll choose a font and a size and add a hex code for the color, and then we'll add what we want this stamp to say. We'll add this bit of code, which is called a variable. You can You can recognize a variable by the curly brackets. The variable tells Sendowl to go grab the buyer's details from their order and then add it to their copy of the PDF. And here at the bottom of this page is a handy list of the variables you'll need most often, so you can just copy and paste. And here is what that stamp will look like. Once you have your library of stamps set up, then all you need to do is choose the one you want to use on each PDF. You'll see your menu of stamps appear as soon as you upload to Sendowl. And that's how PDF stamps work. For more details, check out our Help Center.
