Note that the relevant tags for codes are product specific so they only work in a product email, they won't work if added to the general "common" thank you email that goes out on every order.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-JunkieMonster http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5565/pg/0#post19674 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5565/pg/0#post19674 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 04:15:42 GMT
My question is, in the template email to the customer do you have to put a special code for the gift code to display or do they get an email automatically?]]> E-junkie Discussions; DreamEC http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5565/pg/0#post19674 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5565/pg/0#post19674 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:38:30 GMT
The thank-you email sent for that product would include a link to reach the thank-you page for that purchase, where the certificate image/code could be viewed or printed. The buyer could simply print the page, optionally cut out the image, and give that to the gift recipient, or they could just forward their thank-you email or the link itself to the recipient, who could then click the link to view/print the certificate image.

The developer you contact should understand what I'm describing here, and they can always contact us if they need further clarification.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5565/pg/0#post19674 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5565/pg/0#post19674 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 03:52:28 GMT
So you're saying a custom ssl page could display a url link to send a gift to a recipient that looks nice? Can you offer a touch more direction on what I'd need to know and if I can't do it, I'll use one of the developers you mention.

We're on wordpress.]]> E-junkie Discussions; DreamEC http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5565/pg/0#post19674 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5565/pg/0#post19674 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 01:53:36 GMT
For selling gift coupons online to also be redeemed online, you might add some custom HTML in the gift coupon product's Message (HTML) field to mock up a certificate image within which the code could be displayed. E.g., you might use a 3-row/3-column table layout that displays slices of a certificate image in the edge/corner cells, with the actual code being issued displayed in the center cell using [%codes%]. Those edge/corner images would need to be served from a secure https: URL to avoid security warnings or non-display in the recipient's browser, so you could use our free SSLpic.com service to store those images at a secure URL.

If you'd like some help setting that up, we can recommend the competent, E-junkie-experienced developers listed in our directory here:

Is there any way to integrate it with the Wordpress Gift Certificate Plugin that works with Paypal?

If not, what if we created a thank you page that inserted the product image and code that could be forwarded? There's got to be a creative solution.
They could even print it out with the product and code or forward the url....]]> E-junkie Discussions; DreamEC http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5565/pg/0#post19674 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5565/pg/0#post19674 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 02:58:39 GMT
The major reason we only send thank-you emails to the actual buyer's email is because that is generally an email pre-associated with the buyer's payment account (e.g. PayPal Email), a known-good email address which is also known to be associated with the person who paid. Sending thank-you emails directly to any arbitrary email address is likely to cause misdelivery in case of typos or other human error. By sending the thank-you email to the actual buyer and suggesting they can forward it to a gift recipient, this ensures any mis-addressed emails would be bounced back to the buyer, so they can spot the error and try again.

We can add your suggestion to the wishlist for consideration as a possible new feature at some point in the future, but we'd need to figure out how to make sure gift emails won't just get sent to oblivion without the actual buyer realizing their mistake and having a chance to try again.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5565/pg/0#post19674 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5565/pg/0#post19674 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:03:33 GMT http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/tips.gift-coupons.htm

In this description however, the buyer has to forward a code to the recipient anyways...so it doesn't seem to be any different than if they bought it and forwarded the download link.

Seems trivial for e-junkie to have the functionality to add a gift recipient email, but is that not possible?

Is there way to upload an image of our product and have it sent to the recipient with the code? Or at least a way to make it look nice? You know, like a gift for the holidays?]]> E-junkie Discussions; DreamEC
