Under Configuration → Basic Settings → Additional Settings → Gift Vouchers you will find the plugin configuration. Please check the settings after installing the plugin.
- Voucher code pattern – You can set the pattern of the voucher codes here. %s is a placeholder for alphanumeric characters and %d is a placeholder for numbers.
- Validity period of vouchers in years – Specifies how long the vouchers can be redeemed from the end of the year in which the voucher was issued. Enter 0 here if you want the vouchers to be valid indefinitely.
- Automatically send voucher with newsletter registration – Specify whether or not your customers should automatically receive a voucher by e-mail when they register for the newsletter.
- Voucher for newsletter registration – If your customers should receive a voucher when registering for the newsletter, you can select the desired voucher here. You can find more information here.
- Control of voucher dispatch – The voucher PDF is always generated when the order is completed. With this option you can also determine when the automatic voucher dispatch should take place. There are four options to choose from:
- Send vouchers with order confirmation (excluded payment methods only manually) – This option sends the voucher directly with the order confirmation if the payment method of the order is not on the list of excluded payment methods. In this case, the voucher must be sent manually from the Documents tab of the order.
- Send voucher with order confirmation (excluded payment methods when the order/payment status changes) – This option sends the voucher directly with the order confirmation, if the payment type of the order is not on the list of excluded payment types. Otherwise, the voucher will be sent automatically when the specified order and payment status is reached (see Send voucher with specific order status / payment status below).
- Send vouchers with change of order / payment status – The voucher will be sent automatically as soon as the defined order and payment status is reached, regardless of the payment method (see Send voucher with specific order status / payment status below).
- Only send vouchers manually – Vouchers are never sent to customers automatically. The voucher can be sent manually at the desired time via the Documents tab in the order.
- Exclude the following payment method(s) from automatic shipping – This option can be used to exclude certain payment methods from automatic voucher dispatch with the order confirmation. In this way, it can be ensured that the customer only receives purchased gift vouchers after payment has been received (e.g. when purchasing in advance).
- Send voucher with specific order status / payment status – These options can be used to specify the status changes for which the automatic voucher dispatch should be carried out. These options only affect the Voucher Dispatch Control setting if the Vouchers with Order / Payment Status Change or Vouchers with Order Confirmation (Payment Types Excluded on Order / Payment Status Change) options have been selected.
Note: If the order status or payment status is not defined, it is ignored for the time of automatic voucher dispatch and only the defined status is considered.
