admin advance assigned buy buys cart cart-discounts code codes cost count covered create customer discount down download downloads email emails finishing help implemented important items links list note page problem process product products purchase purchased receive received sale shop single site store system thank-you unique upon

How would I go about creating a single 'Gift Certificate' product that someone could purchase, yet ensure that each purchase was assigned a unique code ?

You'll go to Admin > Cart discounts, create unique codes with use count set to 1. You can create 10,20, 100 .. as many as you want. Make sure you note down each code you create.

Now, you can have a list of codes and you want put them us for sale. Please see http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.selling-codes.php for that.

I just implemented this on our site, and I did a test purchase of the gift certificates to see how the system worked. Everything went fine, and I received a discount code by email.

Then I used the discount code to "buy" a couple of downloadable items from our store. Since the discount code covered the cost of everything in the cart, I went through the E-Junkie cart. Upon finishing the purchase, I landed on the E-Junkie page with download links, and I was able to download the products.

But there was a problem. I never received the "thank-you" emails for the downloads that I purchased. When a customer buys something using a discount code, do they still receive the "thank-you" email? This is a pretty important part of the process for our shop.

Thanks in advance for your help.
