    Gift Certificates Releasing before I release them.

    I just got my gift certificates working and all is great except it will allow them to be used before I actually release them from the admin.

    I have shut them off until a fix can be found.

    I am running 1.3.5 and have only tried paying with money order/cashiers check.

    Help!!

    Thanks!

    I do have the queue purchases set, and it is the actual gift certificates not the welcome gift certificates.

    Thanks

    Uninstall and reinstall the Module ... Order Totals ... Gift Certificate ...

    Check the database table via phpMyAdmin for:
    coupon_gv_queue

    Is the field:
    release_flag

    Set with the default of:
    N

    Thanks so much!!! I uninstalled and reinstalled the module and it worked perfectly!!

    I love the fact that there is support out here for this instead of pulling my hair out over some of this. It has been quite some time since I have dealt with programming and such!

    Default Re: Gift Certificates Releasing before I release them.

    I just ran into a variation of this issue. My problem (from what I read above) seems to be by design?

    We offer $2 GC to new signups. Had a hacker hit me this afternoon, singed up (rapid speed) 20 new BS customers, then snarfed all the GC$ into another account, placed a zero balance order........

    Seems from what I have read, this could easily be solved if we also qued the flavor of GC that these are?

    Any help appreciated!

    Recommend you use a $2.00 Discount Coupon instead of the Gift Certificate. A couple of advantages, coupons can have restrictions and expiration
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

    That was the direction I was heading, but can you explain why this flavor of GC has to be handled differently?

    The GC was a nice angle, still allowed the cust to use a coupon on his/her order....as I understand it, they have option for one(1) coupon per order, as well as a GC?

    Like I said, I had spotted this liablity/headache early on, but not until today did we get an idiot that wanted to push the point.......

    If getting the admin freebie handout GCs into the approve que is a biggy, then i will go with the coupon angle, just wanted to clarify before I flipped things around.
