Daily Deals

[Ajeh]

You can do this two ways ...

You can manually create the Gift Certificates in the Gift Certificate/Coupons ... Mail Gift Certificate ... or you can create the data and import it into your database tables ...

How many Gift Certificates are you trying to make?

I have been provided with the voucher codes that will be issued as the media site's customers purchase them, so i need to have them ready

So you will want these voucher/GC codes to be waiting unattached in your db, and when a customer tries to use one, it will be looked up and applied as long as they have a valid number, right?

Yes, Glenn - that is correct :)

Hi Linda - I can't create the GV and email it because I've already been provided with the voucher codes. There are 400 of them to start with and if sales go well, I will be provided with more. I have the identical list of voucher codes as the online media company and they will issue the voucher codes to the customers as they buy my "daily deal." The idea is that I'm supposed to do whatever I need to do with these voucher codes I was sent so that the customer can come to my website and enter the code and automatically get a credit of either $60 or $100 on my website, depending on which option they purchased through the online media company. i actually have 200 + 200 voucher codes to enter. 200 are for the $60 credits and 200 are for the $100 credits. I'm glad you're helping me because these online daily deals are really taking off and I was really surprised that I was the first to bring this up :)

I use something like this a year or so ago. It's not perfect by no means and probably buggy, but you might be able to play with it to get it to work for you. The only down side is the code will not show in admin under coupons.

insert into coupons (coupon_code, coupon_type, coupon_amount, date_created) values (coupon_code_goes_here', 'G', '60.00', now() );
insert into coupons (coupon_code, coupon_type, coupon_amount, date_created) values ('coupon_code_goes_here', 'G', '100.00', now() );

Hi there! I don't know what this means. Is this something to do with the database? :)
