Gift Certificate Help Please

[cycochuck]

Actually I worded that very poorly ...

If you send a Gift Certificate via the Admin, the customer gets an email with a redemption code ...

If the customer buys a Gift Certificate, it is queued ... and when released in the Admin ... an email is sent out saying that the Gift Certificate has been released and the balance will be found in the Customer's account the next time that they log in ...

So the Gift Certificate redemption code only is included on GVs mailed to a customer via the Admin ... and the funds are released to the customer's account when the GVs were first purchased and have been released from the queue ...

Does that make it a bit clearer?

That does help a lot. I was hoping for a way to sell and use gift certificates without requiring accounts using Fast and Easy Checkout. Looks like I'll have to tell customers that making an account is required to use gift certificates. It'll be a minor headache, but I really don't think there is away around it without recoding how gift certificates work.
