Redeem Gift Certificate - Go back to payment page

[compwhizmm]

Hi,

When a customer enters a gift certificate on the checkout payment page, it goes to the confirm page and does not apply the gift certificate.

I might have a solution to this.

In includes/modules/order_total/ot_gv.php

After This line (approx 197) :

$messageStack->add_session('redemptions',ERROR_REDEEMED_AMOUNT. $currencies->format($gv_amount), 'success' ); 

add this directly below it:

zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT)); 

This will take them back to the payment page if a gift voucher has been succesfully been redeemed. This allows them to apply it to their order.

I would really like to add a redeem button after the redemption code. I tried doing this, but it still runs the javascript asking me to select a payment method.

Is this an ok solution? What are the drawbacks to this? Maybe the zen cart developers have some thoughts. I'm sure it was created the other way for a reason.

Thank you!

Did you find a way to have a redeem button for the gift certificate? This would really help as I had the same problem as they received a printable gift certificate and didn't have the easy email link to redeem before checkout.

But I will try your fix above an let you know.

Actually another great idea would be to have a redeem gift certificate area within the customer's account area where they can redeem gift certificates before they start the shopping/checkout process. Then once they are in the checkout all they have to do is choose if they want to apply the gift certifcate.

Any ideas on this?
