Version 2 of Gift Vouchers and Discount Coupons (MS2, RC1, RC2)
I wanted to give an update on where the GV DC contribution presently stands. It's been updated to Version 2.
Version 2 works with;
- osCommerce MS2
- osCommerce MS2 (060817)
- osCommerce RC1
- osCommerce RC2
- osCommerce RC2a
Version 2 also deal with Tax properly, which was problematic with Version 1.x
Due to the number of problems that people had installing Version 1.x - I haver decided at the moment to offer this contribution only as an installable service. The cost of an install is a usually about $50 and my guarantee is that it will work as it is intended to, or you receive a full refund.
So, if you want to have a Discount Coupon system in YOUR osCommerce store that DOES work with Tax calculations and is coded very cleanly, please contact me on oscshops@gmail.com and we can go from there. Install can be made on ANY osCommerce store, whether it is a Template Monster templated store, a highly modified store or even a brand new install.
If you do not want to pay me too install
That's not a problem - the older version is readily available at the osCommerce Contributions area. And you can install it yourself, make any changes to it etc.
Hi
I used the coupon code and it works great! I just have one question. Is it possible to restrict coupon use to certain products?
For example, if certain users have a coupon that gives them a certain 5% discount, and I want to put only say 3 items with a larger discount on the site. I dont want the 5% to be applied on top of the present discount.
Is this possible?

Hi Neesha - certainly possible. Just takes more coding!

Gary,
Is the only difference b/n version 1 and 2 the tax calculation? I dont have any problems with tax so if thats the only change, I can stick to my version.
Also if I want to offer free shipping on amounts greater than X, (after coupon), would it be best to edit the shipping module? (Im using table rate shipping for free shipping)
Thanks,
Camille

Camille - as well as the Tax - which works great…
It also has start and end date for coupons as well - is pretty much untested so I am loathe to actually get anyone to install it as yet as I have not tested it fully myself.

I installed the contribution, it is working like it was intended, but I am having one slight problem. After install, and running atest, the test account showed no address info, and the in the admin it shows none neither. any suggestions.

Hi Gary, The gift voucher contrib seems really excellent! I'd like to try it, but I have OSc Version 2.2-MS2. Will it work?? And can you please email me the correct package. I went looking Osc contributions but only found the one for Osc RC1,2 etc. Need the 2.2-MS2 version..
And has the coupon date duration been added??
I would really appreaciate it if you can email me the full package for 2.2-MS2..

Hi Gary, Your contrib seems to be exactly what I've been looking for! However I can't get it to display / work correctly. Have tried the following:
1) Vanilla install
2) Manual Install
3) Toggle on/off in order totals
4) Different variations of coupons
SQL did not return any errors during install.
Problem: Couponbox is shown and seems to register the rebate (as if you backtrack later it will tell you you have already entered a coupon). The rebate is however not shown in OT and is not deducted from the cart?

I have the same Problem as jessica, Once you submit the order that dosnt take the discount off it will say you have already entered a coupon on the next order, Is there a fix for this

Never mind about the coupon error, its to do with the sessions, close the window and reopen it, The main problem is the discount not being taken off, i have double checked the files and the code and it is exactly what it should be
Comment by Joff — July 14, 2008 @ 9:58 pm
I just uploaded the files and edited the text files. Everything seemed to be fine, but when I go into the admin area, I can't find "coupons" under the customers area on the left. I also can't find the coupon module under order total. I know it's probably something that I did wrong. Any ideas? Thanks for all your help!

James - counds like you have uploaded files to incorrect places - so it's a bad install. Start over. Note also that I offer an install service should you need it.
Comment by Gary — July 19, 2008 @ 9:55 pm
I have the same problem as james. I have triple checked everything.
Any ideas? Iam running RC2
