Coupon creation

Hi, we are currently testing Hika Shop and are impressed so far.
We will need to buy the Business edition because of better email configuration.

I have some pre-sales questions:
1. We do sell membership. Evrey new member get a unique coupon which can be given to friends.
Is it possible to define coupons incl. the propierties in excel and import the definitions from a CSV file?

2. For each coupon used in the shop, the member to whom the coupon is assigned get one month membership credits.
At the time the membership needs to be renewed the member get a coupon to use.
The idea is, we define special memberships ( 13 month, 14 month ... 48 month). This special products are
shown on a protected page and only members allowed have access (managed with an extension).
the member select the membership duration and use a specific one time coupon.
Question: is this process feasible? Has somebody a better idea to achieve our goals?

3. We sell 2 products: membercards and vouchers (gifts).
Is it possible to require the registration in the checkout if one buys a membercard, but not if one buys a voucher?

Thanks for answers
Markus

Hi,

1. Yes. You can do that via phpmyadmin by importing your CSV into the table jos_hikashop_discount.

You should create a coupon and export it into a CSV via phpmyadmin to see the format that you will have to use.

2. You can use a characteristic for your membership product so that the use will be able to select the duration.
I don't see a problem with that.

3. That's not possible. You can choose to have one or the other, but that's for your whole store.

Great Nicolas
thanks for your fast reply. 1 and 2 are critical,
3 would be nice but we can work this way.
regards Markus
