Gift Certificate being used more than once

[pepsishot]

Before I really knew what I was doing I did this...

I made a GC for someone. Thinking they could only use it once. However I have found after sending this person a second one. Which they then used both. One of which was the second time.

How do I get rid of this GC code so they can not keep using it???

It was supposed to be a one time thing.

I now know how to make discount codes that are perfect for one use times. But these 2 other GC codes are out there.

I need to disable them somehow.

Any help????

Thank you, Amber

I am not sure what you might have that is off on your database tables or your files ...

The Gift Certificate redemption code can only be used one time ... the GV can be then sent to someone else but it would then generate its own redemption code ...

What version of Zen Cart are you using?

NOTE: the current version is Zen Cart v1.3.7.1

I do have the latest cart.


My records show the the first GC I sent her was used back in August. But to be honest I don't remember her useing it until now. My fear was that she used it twice. Since my admin said she had already redeemed it in Aug.


So to be sure she and no one else can use a code twice I should just stick to the Discount Coupons, correct?

For peace of mind?

Thank you for your time!!

Not really ...

Gift Certificates are like Cash with no expiration ...

Discount Coupons have expirations ...

Both have redemption codes to them ... if you are not making them right, then either can be wrong ...

You need to decide are you wanting to send out Gift Certificates and/or allow your customers to purchase Gift Certificates to send to others or only offer Discount Coupons ...

I want to do both actually. I want to give people a discount that they can use once in a month. And then there are those I wanted to give a GC to as a "rebate" that they can use on anything. Again only once.

Thanks, Amber

I have never seen a duplicate on the Gift Certificate occure and duplicate use of a Discount Coupon is usually the result of setting up the Discount Coupon incorrectly ...

If this has happened more than once or you can reproduce the problem then there might be something to look at ...

But at this time, there are no reports of this happening ...

I am assuming you have gotten your Zen Cart from the link at the top of your screen for Downloads and obtained your Zen Cart from there or have gotten the most current version from:
