Advanced Voucher system

Hi

I have a customer with this request:

Is it possible to add a feature in Phoca Cart to handle Digital Vouchers, like this https://yithemes.com/themes/plugins/yit ... ijEALw_wcB

Allows personalised vouchers at fixed stepped values to redeem against web or in store sales (£10, £15, £20, £50) and can be downloaded or emailed as a gift. I guess it would need encrypting as a token.

I will also ask Norr Next. It may be something that they are interested in.

(Note to Jan: I added this as Issues/Feature Request on Github and forgot to post it here)

Hi,

Yes, this is maybe much more a feature request for external plugin

Ok Jan

I may have raised the issue before, but this time provide an example. So, no problem.

Will ask Norr Next

Do you think it may be best to approach this through Phoca download system? Just to suggest to NN

So make, voucher a digital download with token? And integrate it with coupon system?

I think, this is best to do in Phoca Cart.

There are some parts which can be used, like:

- When adding the information about the card, attributes for product can be used:
amount, deliver date, name, email, etc. can be created per attributes

- Some specific code needs to be written to e.g. take such information when ordering and transform it to some coupon (coupon can have fixed amount, it can be limited to one use only, there are rules, publishing, etc. Maybe it can be improved through some token, etc. etc.

So I think, Phoca Cart is much more ready for such system then Phoca Download.

Hi Jan

Sorry, I meant the function inside Phoca Cart that allows 'product' downloads. So Voucher is a digital product that can be downloaded from Phoca Cart, but with internal functions and db entries to match against future orders.

So, buy voucher as a product with unique token, download/send via email. Voucher has discount properties like a coupon code. Token is unique of course so allows only one use.
