randomize coupon number

[ken1]

Is there a way to randomize the coupon number that is sent out to an new signup to the store.

This is not built into Zen Cart ...

You would have to customize the code to:
1 generate a new code
2 add the new coupon to the proper tables

Is there a way to create a generic email that is sent out automatically at sign up where I can tell the new sign up Welcome and let them know that I will send them a referral coupon.

You could customize the language file for create account in:
\includes\languages\english\create_account.php

and add what you want to the emails that the customer receives when they create an account ...

Great idea. I'm working on that right now.
Is there a way to run the create_account.php file to see the changes, without having to keep re-creating my test customer.

Not really ... just create a test customer to see it ...

You could then delete the test customer and recreate the test customer to see it again ...
