Voucher as a gift product

Requirement

You want to give your customers the option to purchase a store voucher that they can use as a gift.

Solution

Using the Newsletter Advanced Module you can customize and automate a configurable voucher that customers can purchase as an individual product. The voucher can be configured with all configuration options available in your store coupon-system - e.g. one time use, limited to products/categories etc. The voucher is unique, but not personalized.

Just follow these steps:

Create a "gift voucher" product

1. In your products catalog create a new category Gift Voucher
2. In this new category create a product named e.g. Gift Voucher 25 USD (use relevant currency)
   • Select a product description, product image etc.
   • Set a price matching the value of the voucher

Now you have created a new product, which is a voucher and represents the purchase of a voucher with a value of 25 USD. In the next step we will configure the Newsletter Advanced module to automatically send a voucher after the purchase of this product.
