Some of my customers want to buy gift copies for their friends. I was unable to find any information on gift certificates or gift copies.

If a user wants to buy something as a gift for someone, the process will stay the same. If it's a digital product, they can forward it to the final recipient and if it's a tangible product, they can enter the shipping address of the recipient on the checkout page.



If you want to create a gift certificate, you can go to Admin > Cart discounts, enter any random characters or numbers in the "code", enter an amount and set the use count to 1 (so it expires after one use) to create a gift certificate.



Limitation of these gift certificates as that only ONE gift certificate or cart amount discount code can be applied to a sale.



If you want to sell these certificates online, you can collect the codes you create and sell them as a product using instructions at 1http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.selling-codes.php1



If you want to sell these certificates offline, it's simple, you take the cash and give the code :slight_smile:

Re: Added shipping if it's a gift



Hi,



When an order is placed, is there an option in the cart that can be checked to indicate it's a gift?



We ship gifts, which requires additional packaging and weight.



Any creative ways to deal with that if the "gift checkbox" is not an option?



Thanks,

Jeffrey

It would take a little extra coding, but you can customize your E-junkie shopping cart. With this you can create a new product called gift packaging, or something similar, and have the button for it appear in the shopping cart. Here is a link to our cart customization FAQ page:
