The coupons I was referring to are serials in Hikaserial we have generated using a pack we setup (see attached screen shot "pack"). The Hikaserial point coupon is the part in the checkout that adds the option to add serial to be consumed (see attached screen shot "checkout"). We tried all kind of setting but in all cases we got the "unknown code" error message. The only time it worked was when we manually assigned the serial to a specific user. In Hikaserial plugins-> User Points - HikaSerial Consumer plugin -> We added a new item and there is an option to select where to charge the point to. We only get one option which is Hikashop points and not AltaUserPoints. On a clean Joomla setup with Hikashop we tried locally we had both options to select from. Might be a configuration issue? We couldn't find the reason. See screenshot "Points". We checked that all plugins are enabled: User Points - HikaSerial Consumer plugin HikaShop User Points payment plugin HikaShop User Points plugin altauserpointsicon System - AltaUserPoints The documentation is really missing allot of the info we need and no matter what we tried we could not make things work for us. Hope now it's more clear.

I really don't know what you have for your serials but you should check the "points value" in them. The goal of the points generator is to embed a points value in the serial. CF : [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/2...ugins-pointsgen.html](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/249-hikaserial-plugins-pointsgen.html) > The points generator plugin is a basic serial generator. > It main goal is to include a number of points in his "extra-data". Thanks to it, the "points consumer" will be able to give a predefined number points to the end-user. Since your serials won't have the "points" information ; the consumption of these serials can't be authorized by the plugin "points consumer". The goal of the points consumer is to get the points value and credit them to the customer : CF : [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/2...-pointsconsumer.html](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/250-hikaserial-plugins-pointsconsumer.html) > The points consumer plugin works with the points generator plugin. > When the points generator plugin create a serial with a number of points attached, the consumer accept to consume the serial and give the predefined number of points to the user. Afterwards, I see your sentence : > The only time it worked was when we manually assigned the serial to a specific user. And I can also see that you have activated the setting "target serial user" which is literally targeting the serial user to credit the points instead of targeting the current logged user (but that setting keep the current logged user if there is no serial user assignation).

We have encountered a new issue, after a user get's the points and makes a purchase, the total points are not updated and he stays on the same amount. Please see three screenshots attached: One of the total points for the user test@test.com (200 points), then the history where you can see we've made a purchase for 76 Nis and one of the checkout where you can see that the system still grant's him with 200 points. AUP replayed with this answer: "I guess it depends on how you set the Hikashop rules to reward with positive or negative values" Can you please advice.

Is it possible to use a gift certificate at separate shoppings? For example if someone has a 100 EUR gift ceritficate, and by the first shopping the customer buys a 50 EUR product , can he use the leftover of the certificate by the next time? 2. We would like to give discounts on gift certificates, without affecting its shopping value. For example: the 100 EUR gift certificate can be bought for 90 EUR, but the one, who uses it, can buy products for 100 EUR. Is it possible? 3. We find the settings of the gift certificates very complicated and the given documents are not detailed enough. Can you provide a detailed description for the general settings of a gift certificate? 4. We also could not set, that when someone buys a gift sertificate, no shipping fee is counted. We attached the #hikaserial:attachserial:1 file to the product, but it still does not work. Our webpage is under development, therefore it is accessible through a subdomain, for which a password is required. I can give you that in private message.")* Hello, For the coupon template ? Unfortunately, it is not easy for me to give you a precise reply ; because you need to configure the coupon how you want it to be copied. The goal of the "coupon generator" is to duplicate one existing coupon (called "the template") and change at least two values : 1 - The coupon code (which will contain the generated random serial) 2 - The coupon publish state (which will be set to "published") Afterwards, it is possible for the plugin to change some other elements like the price or the "end date". But basically, the plugin is just duplicating the coupon and all its restrictions/settings. There is no one single way to configure your coupons, they are a lot of possibilities and due to that flexibility, it will allow you to do whatever you want (a coupon targeting a specific product, or categories, with a minimum order requirement, etc). I would personally recommend to set the "quota" to 1 so the generated coupon could be use one single time ; afterwards, it could be possible that someone have a case where he to give coupons with a quota set to 2 (or 3..). In the "coupon generator" plugin, there is a screenshot of a template where I set-up the minimum restrictions ; what I assume it could be the most generic configuration : [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...ugins-coupongen.html](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/139-hikaserial-plugins-coupongen.html) Once you have your coupon made up for your case ; you just have to select it in your coupon generator and HikaSerial will duplicate your "coupon template" each time a serial will be generated for a customer. The serial he will receive with its order confirmation will correspond to coupons in your database. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
