Unique discount codes / gift vouchers

I have a client who is wants to be able to send a customer a gift voucher / discount code with their receipt that is valid for one week and only redeemable once. Basically to encourage them to buy again that week or to pass it onto a friend if they aren't going to use it.
Everything seems to point to this not being possibe as discounts/gift vouchers have to be manually entered, but thought it was worth asking.
Has anyone done anything like this before? Does anyone else feel that this would be a really handy marketing tool to have available?

This is indeed not possible. You need to perform that task manually. Create a gift voucher and then email it to the customer.

Enabling multiple simultaneous discount codes

Is it possible to enable multiple discount codes so that they can both be applied at checkout?
For example I have one that enables users to take 20% off, and another that lets them take another $100 for being a new customer. I have them both setup as codes, but when I test the cart one seems to eliminate the other.
Tried searching for the answer and came up short. I'm sure this has been done before though. Any direction would be great!
Thanks so much!
Wendy

Can a gift voucher be "redeemed" more than once? For example if we advertise $100 off and say to use "Gift Voucher" GV101, can multiple people check out with it?

Gift vouchers

If I order 3 different gift vouchers with the plan to send them to 3 different people, it sends them all to me and combines the amount.
Can this be adjusted...so people who wish to send multiple vouchers don't have to go through the entire ordering process 3 times?
Also, is there a way to send an email to the gift purchaser that the email gift voucher was delivered to the recipient's inbox?
thanks.

Hi there.
First thing s at some stage your entering email rather then your recipients email. If you set up that option for a product then that step is added to the checkout process. Of you find that confusing you can adjust the layouts to flow better.
Indeed if you do then send more then one gift voucher the systems stacks and remembers how much you have and have left during purchases which is a nice feature.
I see where your going about sending multiple, but at this stage it does not support that, you can add that to the wish list but I think it's a feature that has been asked before, same with the confirmation. You would need to use the open/ bounce tracking like newsletters which is a bit much for such a feature. I have not seen any system that has told me that a person has got and read the email. There a friend so you normally follow up on if they liked the gift voucher.
In terms of multiple wise now you can create physical products that are actual posted gift vouchers, use the shipping attention for those to store the addresses of the people your sending too(JavaScript to make it work nice) and on the sale create codes and print those on the physical vouchers.

Hi Ranga
Can you please check OBY6 settings (Additional details) for the co. codes, as it seems either multiple co. codes have been assinged to company number 1000 or none of the relevant co. codes have been assigned with company ID.

HT201359 What does it mean when a purchase is billed to "store credit"? Is it one of those iTunes gift vouchers? Only reason I ask is because I downloaded Ken Follit's FREE book from the 12 days of Christmas app and seem to have been charged 10.99 for it!

Thank you so much for the link. Am persevering thru it, will get there eventually, as I had already tried to press the Report a Problem link on the invoice, but it won' t connect to iTunes store on my iPad, it keeps saying can't connect. Infuriating. But thank you, you found me a link I would have taken ages to find.

Hi there,
Not in BC by default no.
You can do a javascript discount but you can not really properly say for the first 10 - no. YOu can fudge both a discount and this but its easily viewed and manipulated.

Is it possible to add VAT (TAX) in the order form and discount codes ?

Discount Code for Single Product

Is it possible to create a discount code for just a single product? I know I can do it for a single catalog - but hoping I can do it on single products, too.

I've had to display two BC catalogs on one page whenever clients request this, which seems to be a common request. Often clients want one page displaying two different catalogs side by side.
You can accomplish this with jQuery.
Set up an empty div on the page that will hold the catalogs...
<div id="the-catalog-1"></div>
<div id="the-catalog-2"></div>
Then include a script so jQuery will use Ajax to load in the normal BC catalog page from the BC server and insert it into the div on your page...
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#the-catalog-1').load('/promotional-items div.shop-main').slideDown();
$('#the-catalog-2').load('/promotional-items/t-shirts div.shop-main').slideDown();
</script>
In this example I'm pulling a parent catalog named /promotional-items and reading only the content from that BC page that is within its div having class="shop-main"
jQuery will let you load only part of the content from the BC catalog page, in this case, I only wish to load the catalogs and/or products displayed within the div class="shop-main" in order to avoid loading the entire catalog page which of course would include the page template which I don't want. I only want the part of the page in which BC is using the BC catalog layout or small product layout to list catalogs/products, eliminating the normal page template it displays within. For docs see "Loading Page Fragments" on the jQuery documentation page for the load command here: http://api.jquery.com/load/
In #the-catalog-2 in the example I am loading the products displayed within the t-shirts subcatalog off the promotional-items catalog.
You would likely need to set some CSS to set the width and perhaps height of #the-catalog-1 etc. although in my example I have no height so nothing is displayed until the catalog page loads and then I'm using a jQuery slideDown() to slide the div open and down with the content in it.
Of course in order to run jQuery code you site needs to load jQuery in your page template etc. If you don't know how to do that there are instructions on my site:

Discount Code Recurring Product

I have been searching all the forums, knowledgebase, Kiyuco, BCGurus, etc. and cannot find what happens when a discount is applied to a recurring product. Does anyone know?
For instance, if the product is $75/monthly, and the discount is $10, the first bill is $65, but how about the second month bill and beyond? Is it $65 or $75 each month?
My client would like to use the discount code to reduce the monthly price.
I am guessing that the "personal" discounts (set in the CRM only, right?) reduce the monthly subscription price and the discount code is just an amount off the first payment only. Is that correct?
Thanks, in advance, for your help!!
Katie

Hi Katie,
Only the intial item will be discounted when using the code. The recurring items will revert back to the original cost.
Kind regards,

Discount codes for web forms

Question:
I have been using two web forms to allow access to a secure zone. Of them, one is for the trial user access and another is for the paid user access.
The problem is: Can I use discount codes for the secure zone access? I can't see the way of integrating eCommerce discount codes with web forms.
Answer:
Discount codes don't actually work with secure zone access since you have to accept payment through web forms. However, I hired an outside developer to write some code for me, which I don't mind sharing:
Put this in the Head of your document:
<script type="text/javascript">
function refreshAmountToCharge() {
var frm = document.forms[0];
var defaultAmountToCharge = 100;
var couponCode = "ABC123"; // A tribute to Michael Jackson...
var percentOff = 50;
var couponCode2 = "DISCOUNT2";
var percentOff2 = 67;
var couponCode3 = "DISCOUNT3";
var percentOff3 = 99;
var couponCode4 = "DISCOUNT4";
var percentOff4 = 75;
/* Fixed amount coupon c*/
var fixedCouponCode1 = "FIXED1";
var fixedAmount1 = 20.00;
var fixedCouponCode2 = "FIXED2";
var fixedAmount2 = 6.00;
var fixedCouponCode3 = "FIXED3";
var fixedAmount3 = 7.00;
var amountToCharge = defaultAmountToCharge.toFixed(2);
if (frm.couponCode.value.toUpperCase() == couponCode)
amountToCharge = (defaultAmountToCharge - (defaultAmountToCharge * percentOff / 100)).toFixed(2);
else if (frm.couponCode.value.toUpperCase() == couponCode2)
amountToCharge = (defaultAmountToCharge - (defaultAmountToCharge * percentOff2 / 100)).toFixed(2);
else if (frm.couponCode.value.toUpperCase() == couponCode3)
amountToCharge = (defaultAmountToCharge - (defaultAmountToCharge * percentOff3 / 100)).toFixed(2);
else if (frm.couponCode.value.toUpperCase() == couponCode4)
amountToCharge = (defaultAmountToCharge - (defaultAmountToCharge * percentOff4 / 100)).toFixed(2);
else if (frm.couponCode.value.toUpperCase() == fixedCouponCode1)
amountToCharge = (defaultAmountToCharge - fixedAmount1).toFixed(2);
else if (frm.couponCode.value.toUpperCase() == fixedCouponCode2)
amountToCharge = (defaultAmountToCharge - fixedAmount2).toFixed(2);
else if (frm.couponCode.value.toUpperCase() == fixedCouponCode3)
amountToCharge = (defaultAmountToCharge - fixedAmount3).toFixed(2);
frm.Amount.value = amountToCharge;
// ----------- End Coupon Code Javascript ---------------------
</script>
Then, you'll need a Coupon Code field in your form:
<div class="item">
    <label for="couponCode">Coupon Code</label><br />
    <input type="text" name="couponCode" id="couponCode" class="cat_textbox" />
    <a href="javascript:refreshAmountToCharge()">Update</a>
</div>
That's it. Let me know if you have any questions. You can set multiple codes, either percentage based or fixed amount. Experiment with it to make sure it works as expected.

This is great Mario! Thanks so much for sharing. It works very well.
One thing I want to add is a validation for the coupon update action. If the coupon is no longer valid or entered incorrectly, a message would be great, because the person might no even notice the fact that the amount did not change even though they think they entered a valid discount code.

Unique company code has not been assigned to company number

Dear Experts,
When I am posting the customer advance amount in FBCJ I am getting the below mentioned error.

Hi,
We faced the same issue and we managed to solve it thanks to SAP Support assistance. The system at the time of posting is looking for a value in the Field "Trading Partner" in the FBCJ Transaction code. That field is required because the item is like a Company Code clearing therefore if the field is not filled it cannot determine the Company code during posting.
To solve this you have two approaches:
To treat each Cash journal separately you need to Fill the Trading Partner field individually in the FBCJ with the respective value. Select the same Trading Partner as your original company code (even if you select other company code you cannot post Inter company through FBCJ).
Go to FS01/FS02 of the particular account you face this issue and define a Trading Partner in the Type/Description Tab under Consolidation data in Chart of accounts. With this way the Trading Partner will apply for all postings concerning that particular GL Account and there will be no need for the first approach described above.
I hope this helps.

Athos Kyriakides

Quantity, Discount and Gift Box now showing

I have an issue that I am not sure can be fixed but will try here.
I have uploaded my Muse site to business catalyst and have started setting up templates for the various E-Commerce that will be needed. SO far I have the catalog and product pages working by adding the {tag_pagecontent} to the muse site and setting the template in Business Catalyst to that page template. This has worked so far!
Now I am working on the checkout process, the first thing I am trying is the view cart. Everythng currently is working on the cart (after setting it up the same way as above) except it is not showing the boxes for quantity, discount and gift voucher. I did not change anything in the layout itself except the template. It will be hard for people to see that they can change it there without the box.
Any suggestions to correct this would be appreciated.

They are in the original layout which I have not changed. It is as soon as I apply the template with the {tag_pagecontent} from muse when it changes

Shopping Cart - Show discount code is applied and the discount amount (only when entered)

Hi,
Customers are getting confused whether their discount code is applied or not - does anyone know a way to show that a discount code has been applied (but if no discount code is entered then they wont see the line)
We tried {tag_invoicediscountamount} but this shows for everyone - we would only want it to show if a discount is actually entered like below:
i.e. if no discount code is entered then they wont see any of the yellow circled bits.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi David,
Did you solve your problem? If this is the case, i would be grateful if you could explain the solution.
Best regards.
