Sell Gift Certificates For Other Services?

Hi,

wondering zen cart allows you to sell gift certificate pin-codes.

So for a example i have a bunch of pin-codes for iTunes where one pin-code gives you $10 free music downloads. And when a buyer purchases one, he gets access to one code, and that code gets removed from the database?

I am aware that zen carts has a functionality for gift codes, but only for adding funds to its own cart? Correct me if im wrong.

Kind Regards

You would need to add a new table to hold the pin numbers and after the order is created have it look up the products to see if they belong to that table and if so, send out the pin numbers in another email or the same email depending on how you write it where when taken from the database with the pin numbers they are marked sold ...

Doing this can be tricky as you need to assure you "own" the pin for the order so that when 2 are ordering at the same time they do not get the same pin ...

If can be done, but again would be tricky ...

The other method is to send the pin in a separate email done in the admin when the order is processed to assure there are no duplications ...
