Coupon code

[Christylh]

We give all our regular in-store customers a gift certificate/coupon for $5 for their birthdays. We send out usually well over 100 each month.

Question, how can I set up a code to where if they purchase from our website they can use it there as well?

I know I've asked this before, but wanted to stress that having a login that would discount items for a mass of customers would be great.

What I mean by that is for each promotion we do I set up a vague customer account so that the people who receive our catalogs can get an additional 10% off, but it is confusing to them when they see my "type your name here" etc already in their forms.

Any chance this might be in the works?

Thanks!

No dates, but you can see where we are going. Hope that helps a little.

Chris,

That will be excellent! Since most of us are small businesses, little promotions and discounts mean alot.

Will this occur most likely in a patch?

Thanks!

This will be part of the next major release - rather than a maintenance (patch) upgrade.

Chris,

I've heard that the next major release will be in the first quarter of 2004. Is there a release date yet? We need it immediately to be honest.

Thanks!

Hi Christy

As usual with these things, there is a delay in getting the software to readiness. You will not have it for a little while. Sorry about that (and sorry I cannot be any more specific).

Is there a way we can see the additional features for the new release?

This discussion took my interest as well.

Not yet - they are still under wraps. They will be announced when the public beta testing program starts.
