Hi,

From what I understand, you're saying that for the "voucher" product sales, you don't want the customer to gain points like for the other products of the shop.
Is that correct ?
In that case, you want to edit your user points plugin in the System&gt;Plugins menu of HikaShop and use the "Product categories" setting to restrict the points gain to only the categories you want.

I see the error of my ways, I don't need to use the "HikaShop User Points plugin" for my purposes as I realise that gives points for someone who purchases an item from the store. I am only using points as a voucher system where i only want the person recieving the voucher code to pick up the points and not the person buying the voucher. Anyway, I turned off the "HikaShop User Points plugin" and everything seems to be working fine, the purchased is no longer getting points.

Hello,

Thus I think you want to use HikaSerial in order to generate your "gift cards" with the "point generator" for the serial generator ; and the "point consumer" to allow users to consume a serial and earn the points attached to them.
