Hi All,
Since Actinic has kindly ignored everyones requests for a 'proper' gift voucher scheme (booooo..... hiss.....) and the only other option available to me is to fork out another £400 on a plugin that isn't actually available at the moment, I am going to have to manually add/remove coupon codes from my clients site.
Basically they are going be selling gift vouchers online that will be posted to the lucky recipient. The plan is for us to print some blank vouchers that my client will then overprint with the recipients name, the actual voucher value and the discount code. They then let me know the code/s (they might buy multiple vouchers of a particular denomination) which I then add to the site using the same voucher codes as the ones they have supplied. Once they have spent them I remove them again to avoid any multiple redemption's. Whilst this is a total pain the backside, it should work quite well as my client doesn't get thousands of transactions a month.
Only thing is, how can you enter more than one discount code into the site? At present you enter the code and it jumps you onto the next section of the checkout. A shopper might have 10 x £10 vouchers to redeem against a £100 product but only one box to enter them in?
As always, any ideas gratefully received!
Cheers
Charlie
