Customer Loyalty / Money Off Vouchers

[laycocd]

Hi,

Does anyone know an easy way of offering virtual 'money off' vouchers to my customers.

The way I would expect it to work is that they would select their chosen products as normal.

Then when they check out, they would enter a unique money off voucher ID (taken from the personalised mailing I've sent them) which would then automatically deduct the appropriate amount from their total order value before they go on to pay in the usual way.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

One of our partners has developered a loyalty scheme for v4 and v5.

Take a look at

Not cheap at £499 + VAT

Particularly when compared to the investment in the original Actinic Software!

Any alternatives?

Has this feature now been included in v6? Or is there another bolt on solution available? Preferably a cheap one, or more preferably a free one!

Hi John

Gift vouchers will be available in forthcoming version 7. At present you cannot do this with version 6.

At present the only known loyalty card scheme has been done by our partners Smart Decisions. Here is a link to their scheme

This is a plugin to version 6.

The only thing you will be able to do in standard version 6, is to offer discount on cart values

Kind Regards

That's what I was told when on the phone to Actinic the day before yestersay

[jxm28788]

so for v6 users is this a free upgrade, discounted upgrade, or full price jobbie?

Details will be announced next year.

I haven't tried this yet as I was wondering the same thing. But can Actinic hold a negative value product?

If so then then voucher could be added as a product.
How it would work in practise I couldn't say but just thinking laterally, [ best done lying down;-) ].

Probably you can use discounts triggered by a voucher from referrer.pl. You can check out my guess here

I hope this helps,
