Hi,

 

Many eCommerce sites would benefit from having a simple gift voucher module. I don't know exactly how to make it, but it should probably include a seperate database list numbering the vouchers and creating a unique voucher code. I'm trying to figure out how to make it without the module, so feel free to comment and give me ideas how to implement it.

 

Best regards,

Eskil

Hi Eskil,

This feature is actually already available. You can use the Sales Discount, Extended module to create an orderfield discount. Here you check the orderfield for a specified value, and if the customer inserts this value into the orderfield, he gets the discount.

If you're looking for at more dynamic approach, that allows the user types in a unique value for his personal gift certificate, you could code a SalesDiscountProvider. Otherwise anyone with the code would qualify for receiving the discount, and the customer could use the gift certificate again and again.

Hello,

I'm looking for exactly what Eskil describes: A smart gift voucher system that allows a customer to purchase products by using a unique gift voucher (Danish: Gavekort).

Anyone has a nice way of doing this without too much custom code ? ;)
