    you will need to program this,using something like PHP and probably in an SQL database something like psuedocode below:

    $code = $_POST('code');
    $code = sanitize_function($code)
    // remove illegal chars,hack attempts,etc...

    if(sql_query("select code from list where code ='$code'")){

    // they got in! OK...
    // set a flag in database for this code being used,
    // or simply delete from list of "OK" codes
    // get address to send item,etc.. send to e-commerce fulfillment

    }else{

    //error try agagin

    }

    NOTE
    this assumes you have a database full of codes setup already,etc.
