Gift Certificate 10% off reduced redeemable value as well as price - help?
It appears when you put an OFFER of 10% OFF on a Gift Certificate, it affects the price, which apparently is used to find the redeemable value, so a $100 Gift Certificate costs $90 but becomes worth $90 as well. |

Seems to me the software is trying to keep you from losing $10.00 on the deal.
Do you want a $90.00 GC to be worth $100.00? I'm not sure it's supposed to work that way. If so, I'll be by to buy a few thousand dollar's worth. |

What about "get a free $10 gift card with purchase of a $100 gift card?" This isn't exactly what you are looking for, but it's close and gets around your issue with the software. It could be done with one of the buy one, get one free discounts.
On a side note, a lot of restaurants (Outback, Chili's, etc) offer this kind of incentive with their cards arount the holiday. "Get a free $20 card with $100 card purchase." Not a bad idea being as the value perception is high, yet people frequently don't redeem the full value on cards (I have half a dozen gift cards with $3 left on them!)

D-ROD is my developer and is asking the question on my behalf.
Mark, you have it right. The 10% is offered as a buying incentive. Buy any of our gift certificates and get 10% off (for a limited time, of course)!
Mitch - I'll be waiting for your order. ;-)

The fix was this: In BVSoftware.Bvc5.Core/BusinessRules/OrderTasks/IssueGiftCertificates.vb Around line 23 you will see that the "Original Amount" is set to the "Adjusted Price" of the Gift Certificate, which is not what one wants if one is discounting Gift Certificates. Code:
' gc.OriginalAmount = item.AdjustedPrice
gc.OriginalAmount = item.BasePrice
That's all it took to change it. Of course, rebuild & put the DLL on your live site carefully. |
