gpsupps10,
I will explain how i have it set up, got the info from a couple different posts so I will credit them here. first from Kim and second from Ajeh.
Make sure the Gift certificate is created correctly:
On the Product Information Page fill in the blanks as follows:
Products Status:In Stock
Date Available: leave blank
Products Manufacturer: leave blank
Products Name: Gift Certificate
Product is Free: No
Product is Call for Price: No
Product Priced by Attributes: Yes
Tax Class: choose appropriate
Products Price (Net): Your price or zero if pricing by attibutes.
Products Price (Gross): figured automatically
Product is Virtual: Yes, Skip Shipping
Always Free Shipping: No, Normal Shipping Rules
Products Quantity Box Shows: Yes, Show
Product Qty Minimum: 1
Product Qty Maximum: 0
Product Qty Units: 1
Product Qty Min/Unit Mix: no
Products Description: Your description. (Gift Certificate)
Products Quantity: I put in 10000
Products Model: GIFT-00000
(The model MUST begin with GIFT
Note: GIFT absolutely, positively must be ALL CAPS)
Products Image: Upload an image if you want
Upload to directory: choose directory
Products URL: leave blank

Save it.
(Make sure you enable the module)
Now go to Modules->Order Total and install and configure the gift certificate module.
K now to set the attributes (from Ajeh's post ) Mine differ a little but these work fine. Set them up for your amounts and needs.
Go to Catalog ... Option Name Manager ...
Create an Option Name, I use:
Name: Amount
Option Type: Dropdown
Click Insert ...
Go to Catalog ... Option Value Manager ...
Create the Option Values for this Option Name, I use:
Amount (from the dropdown)
$5.00 (this is text)
Sort Order: 5
Click Insert ...
Amount (from the dropdown)
$10.00 (this is text)
Sort Order: 10
Click Insert ...
Amount (from the dropdown)
$25.00 (this is text)
Sort Order: 25
Click Insert ...
etc. etc. etc.
Go to the Product for the Gift Certificate you want to add the Attributes ...
I then set the:
Product Price: 0.00
Priced by Attribute YES
Go to the Catalog ... Attributes Controller ...
Locate the Product for this Gift Certificate ...
(Make sure when you choose each attribute, that you add in the price information to match the attribute value as shown below)
put in a sort order number if you want them to show up a certain way too.
Pick the Option Name: Amount and Option Value: $5.00
Prefix +
Price 5.00
order 1
Click Insert ...
Pick the Option Name: Amount and Option Value: $10.00
Prefix +
Price 10.00
Order 2
Click Insert ...
Pick the Option Name: Amount and Option Value: $25.00
Prefix +
Price 25.00
order 3
Click Insert ...
etc. etc. etc.
When done, click the button to Update Sort Order and the values will now display in the default sort order that you set previously for these Option Values ...
I hope this helps. if you insure each of these steps are correct, you should not get any errors.
David.
