Customer Loyalty / Money Off Vouchers

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;-) ].

You cannot enter a negative product value in Actinic but you can enter it straight into the database. This means the customers can add that product to their baskets to get a discount at the checkout. There are problems in that the cart does not show the discount (although the totals are correct) and the discount it removed on download so you have to go and add it again (in the database directly). The only benefit of doing this rather than having a global discount on the catalog is that the product can be hidden from some users if you use logged in customers in business.

Also if you have a dual currency display you can't do this because entering the negative value in the database stops your catalog from uploading.
