1. Make sure you have a product variant that has the Is Giftcard checkbox checked.
2. Make sure you have the message template called 'GiftCard.Notification' in all active languages.
Purchase
3. Customers can enter a name and email address of the recipient of the gift card and add a gift card to the cart.
Administration
4. Set the order to Paid and Send
5. The gift card is now added to the list of gift cards. See Sales > Purchased Gift Cards.
6. View the details of the gift card and check the checkbox 'Is Gift Card Activated'.
7. Click Notify Sender to send the message to the recipient.
Buying with a gift card
8. The recipient can now enter the card number in the shopping cart page. If the total amount of the products in the cart is less than the value of the gift card, the remainder of the gift card amount will be 'reserved'. (See tab Usage History in the gift card details in the Administration.)
Hope this helps.
Hi, No.8, If the total amount of the products in the cart is less than the value of the gift card, the remainder of the gift card amount will be 'reserved'.
How does this work? I tried to add a small amount of value product into card, using gift card and I can see the remaining amount in gift card, but I entered checkoutpayment.aspx page, there is only a PayPal Express button (as usual), but when I click it, it gave me an error but the total is 0 so PayPal throws out an exception. However, I don't think I should see this PayPal button as the total is 0, it should automatically process the order and just calculate the remaining for the gift card, isn't it?
Please help, much appreciated! Thanks.
Best regards,
Eric
