Miva's Gift Certificates with price attributes

Re: Miva's Gift Certificates with price attributes

Hi, Rick.
I read the thread and implemented the workaround. Just curious as to when 9.0004 might roll out. No big deal.

Got it, likely late July.

Re: Miva's Gift Certificates with price attributes

Just checking on if there is now a payment method restriction for gift certificates. For example, if someone pays with a check, do not create gift certificate.
Thanks!

No, this functionality has not been added. We don't see a lot of demand for it. What is the use case where the customer could pay by check? If it is a specific price/availability group you can only show a gift certificate product that is triggered manually.

There is a module that does this:

Re: Miva's Gift Certificates with price attributes

You could also just run a conditional in the Basket loop to look for a gift cert similar to:

<mvt:if expr="l.items:code EQ 'GIFTCERT'">
<mvt:assign name="g.hasGiftCert" value="'1'" />
</mvt:if>


The in the Payment loop do:

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:method:code EQ 'check' AND g.hasGiftCert">
<mvt:else>
-- The Rest of the Payment Code
</mvt:if>

Which, if the basket has a gift cert, then, in the Payment loop, when you see the check method, ignore it.

Re: Miva's Gift Certificates with price attributes

Hi, Brennan. I just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. Gift certificates for this customer are manually being created and sent.

I assume to manually generate a gift certificate, I go to Marketing > Gift Certificates and click the +Generate button and copy the gc code.

Then I find the order and manually re-trigger the email to be sent by going to Order Processing and looking up the order then going to Order Emails and select the Gift Certificate Email. (it actually says 'Gift Certificate Created'. I assume that's what you meant.)

I don't see where I paste the gift certificate code, however.

Can you advise?
Thanks!

Re: Miva's Gift Certificates with price attributes

If you're manually generating the gift certificate, it is not going to be associated with the order. You may have to send the key manually.

Try this first: generate the key and edit the order and on the gift certificate product add an atribute with a code of "giftcert" and the value is the key. Then trigger the Gift Certificate email. See if this sends correctly.

I wondered about doing that. The key and amount is missing from the email.

Re: Miva's Gift Certificates with price attributes

We're manually creating and sending gift certificates. When doing this, the key and amount are missing from the email.
First a gift certificate is manually created. The key is copied. We go to the order, and edit the Gift Certificate product in the order. Add a new attribute and paste the key in there. Then we trigger the Gift Certificate Create email template.
Does anyone know how to get the key and amount in the Gift Certificate email template?
Thanks!

Re: Miva's Gift Certificates with price attributes

The default Gift Certificate Email is not going to have the value since there is no link to the order.

You can try modifying the email to check to see if the giftcert attribute is in the order and if it is output its value as the key.

Or, the standard customer email will resend the entire order contents with the new attribute you added.

Do you happen to know how to add the credit as a payment method using this module? What I've tried doesn't seem to work. I still only get Visa, Mastercard, etc.

Re: Miva's Gift Certificates with price attributes

If it does not show up in the method list, it may not be supported by that module. If you can wait, 9.0005 should be out soon and it has built in Payment Method Rules which is going to be much better than using the Payment Method For Groups Module.

Re: Miva's Gift Certificates with price attributes

Assuming you are using one of the themes,

you need to:

Add the following line to the Select Payment section:

   <mvt:if expr="'am' CIN l.settings:method:code OR 'ax' CIN l.settings:method:code OR '003' CIN l.settings:method:code">
                        <mvt:assign name="l.settings:payment:method:image" value="'../images/icons/logo_amex.png'" />
                     <mvt:elseif expr="'vi' CIN l.settings:method:code OR '001' CIN l.settings:method:code">
                        <mvt:assign name="l.settings:payment:method:image" value="'../images/icons/logo_visa.png'" />
                     <mvt:elseif expr="'mc' CIN l.settings:method:code OR 'master' CIN l.settings:method:code OR '002' CIN l.settings:method:code">
                        <mvt:assign name="l.settings:payment:method:image" value="'../images/icons/logo_mastercard.png'" />
                     <mvt:elseif expr="'ach' CIN l.settings:method:code OR 'check' CIN l.settings:method:code">
                        <mvt:assign name="l.settings:payment:method:image" value="'../images/icons/logo_check.png'" />
                     <mvt:elseif expr="'paypal' CIN l.settings:method:code OR 'pp' CIN l.settings:method:code OR 'pal' CIN l.settings:method:code">
                        <mvt:assign name="l.settings:payment:method:image" value="'../images/icons/logo_paypal.png'" />
vvvvv

                     <mvt:elseif expr="'credit' CIN l.settings:method:code ">
                        <mvt:assign name="l.settings:payment:method:image" value="'../images/icons/logo_credit.png'" />

^^^^
                     <mvt:elseif expr="'pm_fauxorder' CIN l.settings:method:code ">
                        <mvt:assign name="l.settings:payment:method:image" value="'../images/icons/logo_fauxorder.png'" />
                     </mvt:if>

And then create an Icon image and FTP it to /images/icons/logo_credit.png

Attached is a cheesy one I made as a placeholder until the designer gets to it.

You actually have to add the methods using that module. I'm just not sure if I added the correct info for it because it doesn't seem to work. Surely someone at Miva knows whether it's compatible ... or at least someone should.

When is 9.5? We basically woudn't be able to use Gift Certificates until it's released if the module doesn't work.
