About the plugin
The plugin Gift Vouchers enables the sale of individual gift vouchers. These are created as independent items by adding a new Gift Voucher section to the basic info tab in the item details and linked to the existing voucher system in Shopware. Purchased gift vouchers can be redeemed in the usual way in the online shop or, when using Pickware POS , also in the physical shop. Only one gift voucher can be redeemed per order in Shopware Standard. As of app version 6.0.0, Pickware POS allows you to redeem as many vouchers as you like until the value of the shopping basket reaches €0.
Gift vouchers are automatically generated when selling via the online shop and sent to the customer as a PDF. Depending on the plugin configuration, the voucher is sent together with the confirmation e-mail or as a separate e-mail. When selling via Pickware POS, the gift voucher can also be printed out directly.
The Gift Voucher Plugin enables residual values when redeeming gift vouchers. Compared to Shopware standard vouchers, the behaviour is extended as follows:
-
The minimum order value may be less than the value of the gift voucher.
-
The remaining value of the gift voucher will be calculated automatically when the order is placed.
-
The Gift Voucher is not considered redeemed until the full amount has been redeemed.
The remaining value of a Gift Voucher can be viewed in the Remaining value column in the Individual Voucher View.
