Import Coupon Codes En Masse?

[HeathenMagic]

Hello there,

Thought this question might be useful for others two, if it is indeed possible. I have set up an affiliation with a group that has id cards for a d10% discount at our bricks and mortar shop. I have a list of the unique numbers, but is it possible to insert them in one go, as there is over 100. I am guessing it is a case of running a sql query, but I have limited knowledge, so I could be wrong. I would be most grateful for any help of any kind.

Regards,

Russ

You would need to write a set of scripts to do the import.

You have two tables: coupons and coupons_description

"coupons" contains all the main info for the coupons:

coupon_id              
coupon_type           
coupon_code          
coupon_amount      
coupon_minimum_order    
coupon_start_date     
coupon_expire_date      
uses_per_coupon         
uses_per_user        
restrict_to_products    
restrict_to_categories
restrict_to_customers   
coupon_active

and "coupons_description" contains the name and description, for each supported language on your site:

coupon_id    
language_id      
coupon_name       
coupon_description

coupon_id must be the same in each table for each coupon.

Thankyou so much Dr Byte,

That is a useful guide to setting up. They are going to be 10% off coupons, so it might not be as difficult as I first thought. Going to have a poke around in SQL and see what I come out with.

Many thanks,

Russ
