    Gift Certificate Modules - Who's Got One And...

    How do you like yours? I see two modules from Viking Coders and Sebenza. Need to compare.

    Thanks in advance!

    Re: Gift Certificate Modules - Who's Got One And...

    I used to use the viking coders module back on my merchant 4 site.

    Seemed to work ok. I didn't get one when I upgraded to 5.5 because I just couldn't get enough people to buy gift certificates (not a knock against the module, just bad marketing on my part, I suppose).

    Are there specific features you want from the gift certificate module?

    I would look closely into the support policies for both of these moduels BEFORE making a decision. Personally, I will hold off on buying a gift certificate module until www.emporiumplus.com comes out with one - which might be a LLLOOONNNGGG time.

      We have been using Sebenza for a long time and I think it's the perfect module. I don't know what else I would need it to do for me really.

        Gift Certificate modules are pretty complex, and their maintenance time consuming, which is why, devoid of a fee based support policy, it might make other developers pause before spending the time to create, then support, this type of functionality.

            Re: Ultimate Gift Certificate Module

            Are there any known conflicts between the Sebenza Ultimate Gift Certificate module and other 3rd party modules?

            Thanks,

              Any other Sebenza reviews? We've been using Viking Coders but need to switch since they're not allowing us to purchase the two remaining stand-alone licenses we need to finish our new stores.

                Question for Rick Wilson - didn't I hear that Gift Certificates are on the horizon? Which quarter, if so?

                  Yes they'll be in the PR9 development cycle, but you know we don't give dates any longer

                  I would estimate the PR9 Lifecycle to be June 2013 through October 2014 if that helps at all.

                    FYI: The vast majority of sites we've worked with, that have a Gift Certificate module, seldom, if every use it--at least as a actual Gift Certificate module. In most cases, a coupon module would work for the other reasons that the module is used for.

                      Generally speaking I would agree with Bruce. The reason we're adding it is to be able to support real world gift cards (via credit card networks) which also supports true split payment.

                      It's going to be a fairly "advanced" feature that I see primarily applying to the Enterprise space.
