Please read this blog post for a step-by-step explanation
on how to do this. If you are still struggling after reading the post, please feel free to contact us.
Yes. If your customer has a gift certificate with a value of 100 and spends only 20 on the first purchase,
the remaining value of 80 is left on the gift certificate and the customer can use it next time they shop
with you. The gift certificate can be used as many times as it takes the customer to use up the value, or
until it expires (optional setting).
This can be due to many different things, but here are some common issues that cause the email
not to be sent. Verify these are set up properly.
- If using AwoCoupon Pro 1.x, check the installation check screen and verify that 'Sellable gift certificates' is installed
- On AwoCoupon -> Configuration screen, verify your order status is in Confirmed or greater, and make sure the order in question at least went through this order status
- Check the folder permissions of www/tmp and make sure it is writeable
- In the Profile screen of AwoCoupon, verify you have a default Profile selected
- In the Profile used to send the email, verify the email body is not empty. AwoCoupon will not send an empty message.
