Store credits?

[Heather88]

Sometimes a customer prefers a store credit to a refund and in the past I have done this using the Coupon function of Zen Cart. The problem is, this doesn't seem to make the coupon exclusive to a specific account - any customer could use the coupon if s/he knew the coupon code. Also, if the customer to whom I issue the refund coupon forgets the coupon code, s/he can't look it up in their account because it's not exclusively "theirs". I don't know if I'm explaing this clearly.

Anyway, I'm wondering if there is a way to give someone a store credit in such a way that the credited amount will show up in their account and can be used ONLY on that account and no-one else. I've searched the FAQ and Forums but had no luck. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm using ZenCart version 1.3.7, if it matters. Thank you.

There's this:

I haven't used it, and my sense is that is has some issues, so try it in a test site first.

Also, using 1.3.7 may not matter for this question, but I would suggest upgrading to the much-more-secure 1.3.9c as soon as posible.

how about emailing them a Gift Certificate? We use those to give people credit which does not have to used all at one time, and they can use as little or as much at one time as needed.
