Gift Certificates
To sell gift certificates, fist make sure the configuration variable Config_EnablePriceEdit is set to Y, then simply add a new product to the "Products" table
with the "Product Code" field set to "GFT" and place a check in the box Allow PriceEdit. When a customer
adds this product to their cart, they will be redirected to a page where they
may enter the details of the gift certificate. You may also link directly to
this page, which is "GiftCert_default.asp". The customer has the choice
of e-mailing the gift certificate, as a gift, directly to the recipient, or the
customer may choose to request a printed gift certificate mailed to the shipping
address specified during the checkout process.
The customer may use a gift certificate by applying the gift certificate to their
account. Once the gift certificate is applied to the account, it will automatically
be used in any purchases made through that account. The customer may apply the
gift certificate to their account in any of the following ways:
A) By entering the gift certificate code on the "Order Review" screen
during checkout
B) By visiting http://www.yourdomain.com/redeem/
C) By visiting their "My Account" manager and clicking on "Apply
a gift certificate to your account"
D) By visiting their "My Account" manager and viewing an order recently
placed, that has not been locked yet, and applying the gift certificate to that
order (which also gets applied to their account).
Shipping gift certificate orders involves no special handling, as you may process
the order as normal, and when you click the "Complete Order / Send Emails" link,
the gift certificate will be sent to the recipient via e-mail. Or if it is a
printed gift certificate, a link will appear on that page that allows you to "print
the gift certificate".
The customer may view their current remaining gift certificate balance by logging
into their "My Account" manager and clicking "View gift certificate
balance".
