actually, if you had a specific ID for each gift voucher purchased, they can print off as many times as they want, but they will ONLY be allowed to use it once.. Like it the grocery store, there are LOADS of giftcards on racks for sale.. someone COULD steal them, but they wouldnt work because the gift vouch ID number is not associated with an amount yet.. And with this, the ID is associated with an amount, and once the amount is used up, they acnt use it.. not matter HOW many tmes they print it.

Does this make sense? I hope it does..

The PDF idea is great, but if you can get the IDs working similar to that of a coupon, but instead of the coupon only working on the one single purchase, if the value of the "coupon" (in this case the gift vouch) is not met, there is a balance for them to come back and use the same code or ID to finish off the balance on their next purchase. THIS is the way my logic tells me it should be done.. similar to a coupon code.. BUT it would need to maintain a balance if it wasnt used all in one shot.

I hope this all makes sense.

Are there any known issues of this not working with paypal?  We have a customer who we switched over from CCGV to this and when using paypal express checkout (her only processor) the discount is not reflected in the total.

[burt]

No known issues with Paypal Express.
Is that the one that doesn't need to go through the checkout procedure?

[rcall]

No this is the one that goes from checkout_payment to paypal then back the checkout_success...  The one that Brian Burton wrote up.

Do you have time to do an install on this site for us?  By the way, how are you?

[burt]

Yeah, good thanks...how you guys?

You probably need to include the coupon class in the express.php file, and mess about with the IPN file in /ext/ as well.   basically, you need to add in the coupon bits from checkout_process to the IPN.  And be sure the coupon class is in the other file so the order_totals are updated.

I'm not familiar with Brians version...

Ho Hum.  Are you even using my coupon system?

[burt]

Obviously not.

Hiya, I've just installed this using the "shop already installed" method.  Everything seems hunky dory so far regarding the rollout, but it's simply not applying or showing the discount on the checkout_confirmation.php screen.  I'll go trawl your support threads for more answers but you can probably post up here faster than I can find it!  I am test-buying using a CHEQUE option so have not tried to buy with PayPal yet as I can't send money to myself, I'll have to get a friend to do a test buy for me.

The coupon I created is for multiple customer use.

Thanks

Rache

EDIT - may be having a senior moment here but I've rolled out all your files, however when I go to MODULES - ORDER TOTAL, the coupons module is listed there but the INSTALL button is visible for this module.  To enable the coupons do I need to install it, as I thought by modifying all the files, I had "installed" the module?

I know that your README file says

Now you must set up your "order totals" so that the coupon is written to the database
when it is used - and so that it shows up on invoices!  

Do this at:
admin > modules > order total

Here, you will see a new entry entitled "Coupons".  Guess what?  That's what we  need to show in the orders...I usually set it to show right underneath the
"shipping" entry.

But you have not actually said what to do.  I'm nervous about clicking the install button in case I break my entire website

Easy as 123 - firstly, amend all your existing order totals so that instead of having sort order 1,2,3,4 it is instead 10,20,30,40 etc.  Then [install] the coupon order_total module, and give it a sort order of 15

Done.

Hello. First let me say I am not a website building genius.. I installed your Addon wich looks to be just what I need, but I have a problem..When I reach the instruction to go to Admin tool/Customers/click coupon...there isnt a coupon option there...any ideas to help a mentally challenged storeowner?

[lindsayanng]

sounds like you missed a step in installation. The part that tells you to put some code in admin/categories.php file i think.

[Fuzzbutt.co.uk]

Make sure the new link is in admin/includes.boxes/customers.php so it reads:
