Hello guys,
I am using BVCommerce 5 SP 3.2 version for my shopping cart site. I created a test gift certificate with $50 as fixed price. Then I purchased the gift certificate online using test credit card #, for testing purpose. I am really confused. Where do I get the gift certificate code? Or how do I get it issued? Do I need to purchase it on live site for real, for testing purpose?
In short, HOW DO I TEST THE GIFT CERTIFICATES ON BV SITES????? Is there any way to test the created gift certificates? Please let me know If I am missing something...
Thanks,
Vaibhav

When you purchase a gift certificate you receive a separate email containing the gift certificate number. Once you have that you can use it to checkout on the site. Be sure that you've enabled "Gift Certificate" as a payment method in the admin, otherwise you will not see the input form on the checkout page. |

Aaron,
When exactly will I receive this email? Because I changed the status of this order to "Complete" in admin panel. But still I did not get any email. And yes I have enabled GC as payment option as well.
Thanks,
Vaibhav

You should receive the email as soon as the order is marked "paid". |

How do I put the site in test mode in order to make successful payment transaction using test credit card #? Also, I tried to send Gift certificate email manually from order detail page, but it won't go. As mentioned before, m using BVCommerce 5 SP 3.2. Is there any patch or update for this version related to gift certificate that I am supposed to deploy?
Thanks,
Vaibhav

Aaron,
Never mind, I got it. I changed the payment gateway to BV Test Gateway and it worked. Although, I have one more problem - How do I assign these newly created gift certificates to a particular category? Thanks very much for your valuable replies man. I really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Vaibhav

The only way I know to do this is to use a Dynamic Category and enter the gift certificate name or SKU into the Keyword criteria field. Is that how you did it? I wanted to post the solution for those still trying to figure it out as it's really not obvious how to do it. |

Aaron,
Go to Edit page of static category. Then on right hand side, Just below Images section, you will find "Product Selection" section, click on the "Select" button. There you can use the filter to find the respective GC. I searched using the SKU of GC. After adding it from there, I was able to see the GC finally on static category browse page.
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks,
Vaibhav

Thanks, Vaibhav, but that doesn't work for me, at least in 5.6. I wonder if this is a bug? |

Yes, this must be a bug for sure. Because it works fine in BV 5 SP 3.2 at least. And I did not get a chance to use BV 5.6 yet.
Thanks,
Vaibhav

there's a GiftCertificates.aspx page on the site
file is pretty much empty and pulls the service.master page.
maybe this was the area where gift certificates was supposed to load but got lost in the mix? |
