Redeem multiple gift vouchers at checkout

Hi,

By default HikaShop's checkout doesn't support multiple coupons.
However, with the integration of AWO-Coupon you can have that support:
awodev.com/products/joomla/awocoupon

Hi,

I don't think that AWO Coupon is compatible with HikaSerial if you're generating coupons from vouchers generated with HikaSerial.
AWO Coupon has its own "Gift Certificate" from what I can see.

Another solution would be to add support for multiple coupon per order in HikaShop, but that opens a whole can of worms as the system wasn't made to support that in the first place. For example, if the "send order details" setting of the PayPal plugin is ativated, it will send the amount of the coupon being used to PayPal. With several coupons, it would require adapting the code of the payment plugin to properly interact with PayPal. So it's not just about just adapting the checkout view to allow the customer to add several coupons and properly add them to the cart. It has far-reaching implications from payment plugins to reports, exports, mass actions, invoices, emails, etc.

So I'm afraid I don't see an easy solution if you need multiple coupons during the checkout besides using AWO Coupon and not using HikaSerial.

Hi,

Supporting a new feature in HikaShop means that all the bits that are connected to it need to support it.
So even if you don't use the "send the order details" option, it doesn't mean that someone else won't.
If we kept adding features without properly supporting them everywhere they are linked to, HikaShop would break everywhere after a while.
An alternative would be to develop a custom plugin for you only to support multiple coupons. That could be done for a few hundred euros. But that plugin wouldn't be connected with the normal coupon subsystem in the checkout/cart/order system. That way, it would avoid the need to modify all the different pieces of HikaShop linked to the coupon system. But then, for someone who need them, they wouldn't be able to use it: the "auto load" system of coupons wouldn't work with it, the many restrictions of coupons wouldn't work with it, the exports/reports wouldn't include the data of the coupons used. If that's something you're ok with, we could work on that for you.

I understand you're frustrated that you can't do what you thought you could. However, even if I told you we would work tomorrow on adding the multiple coupon checkout capability in HikaShop, knowing how complex it is to add, it would take months before anything is out.
That's why I recommended AWO Coupon because you should be able to implement what you want in a matter of days while keeping costs down as much as possible. Now I can't say anything about the wrong links AwoCoupon's support gave you.

Hi,

After writing to you and thinking about it for a while, I've got an idea on how to do it via the development of a plugin. I've been working on the plugin yesterday and today and I think I'm close to a solution which will be compatible with HikaShop's coupon system while being smooth for the user albeit a few limitations.
We'll be selling it on the marketplace. That will be cheaper than a custom development, will avoid redoing everything with AWOCoupon and it will also help others in need of that capability.
Stay tuned.

Hi,

For anyone reading this, there is now a multiple coupon plugin for HikaShop available here:
