Hi,
I have this scenario: VirtueMart product and people order it. Then they will receive a number of coupon codes.
For example. Someone order this Virtuemart Product 5 times. They will receive 5 auto-generated coupon codes. We are using VirtueMart with One Page Checkout.
Is this possible?

Sure, you can setup the product as a gift certificate product:

The product we have is priced $350. But after they order it they will receive coupon code they can use only with specific product which cost $950. I don't know if that makes sense ...

AwoRewards is the replacement for AwoCoupon email:
https://awodev.com/products/joomla/aworewards

But it does not work on quantity of the products. Using the selling function of AwoCoupon does, you can sell any voucher you can create in AwoCoupon, it does not have to be a gift certificate.

I want this to be automatic. I don't want to create 100 000 coupons and sell them. I want the scenario I present to you. User order product they receive specific product coupon code.

Yes, I understand, the question I have is it based on quantity?
So if customer orders 5 of these products, do they receive 5 coupons, or do they receive 1 coupon?

if they would receive 1 coupon, then you can create a rule in AwoRewards for that.
If they would receive 5 coupons, then you can setup AwoCoupon to sell the voucher.

Person order quantity of 5 exam vouchers (this is how we call them on our website) Then they need to receive 5 coupons so they can order another product.

Can you tell me how this will work? How to setup AwoCoupon to see the voucher?

The link in my first post should help a lot with the setup. But basically, you would:

1. create a coupon template, so the coupon you want to sell, but instead of 'published' select 'template'
2. go to awocoupon->tools->gift certificate product and connect the product you want to sell to AwoCoupon
3. setup the email template in awocoupon->tools->profile, this would be sent to customer on purchase

Those are the basic steps. When a customer purchases the product, then AwoCoupon would automatically send a coupon email with the generated codes

I did all of this and when i order the product i receive the email but there is not generated vouchers. I put this on the email content

{store_name}
{siteurl}

Ultimate Self Study Package Vouchers
{vouchers}

I receive the email but there are not vouchers it just empty space. So the system does not generate them for some reason
I check the settings on the template, profiles and gift certificate. Everything is fine.
p.s I just check on the back and i can see the coupon there. But not in the content inside the email.
Ok. I finally understand the Tags :) Now the vouchers are inside the emails
Ok. Yesterday everything was working fine. Now the coupons are not generated on the back and the system is not sending an email. I'm really confused. I need your help.
My settings:
Template: https://prnt.sc/h5bwc6
Gift Certificate: https://prnt.sc/h5bwo4
Today the system does not generate the coupons anymore after i purchase the product. Yesterday everything was working fine. I didn't change any settings.
Ok. This is strange. I make an order with a different user and now everything is working. Can you tell me if there is any limitation how many coupons users can get?

No, there are no limitations for how many coupons a user gets.

Looking at the coupon template you set up, you set it up as a 'coupon' of 1 use and not a 'gift certificate'. This means the customer can only use the coupon 1, regardless of if they use the full amount or not. If you set it up as a gift certificate, then the customer can use the coupon as many times as it takes to use up the balance. Just thought I mention this in case you were not clear on it.

I created the coupon for an only specific category. So i want the coupon to be used only 1 time.
Everything is working fine now. My last question is how to send email to specific admin groups? Is this possible? Right now the system send email only to the Joomla System Email. I want other people from our team to receive this email too?

Thanks

Hi,

Is this the gift certificate purchased email? There is no option to set the email in the template, but you can set a 'vendor' for each gift certificate product in awocoupon->tools->gift certificate product. In this case you could set it to a group email address. Then you can setup the email the vendor receives in awocoupon->configuration->gift certificates.

This is what i want: Right now i check CC Admin in the Profiles. But there is 2 more users who are not Admins but i want them to receive the emails with the vouchers the client receives (just to track them if there is a problem) So if i put the email to one of this user inside the Vendor is this going to work?

Hello,

Yes, you have to setup the email the vendor receives in awocoupon->configuration->gift certificate tab. They will not actually receive the actual email the customer gets, but they will get information about the order.
