Coupon – Add active date to coupons in addition to expiry date

[Robert]

I’m using the coupons and have the need to have a date for when a coupon is active as well as when it expires. I would like to be able to enter coupons with a active date in the future as well as the expiry date in the future.

Can you look into adding in this feature?

Thanks

Is anyone looking into this?

Hi, Sorry to have missed your earlier post. Can you please explain the scenario that you are trying to cover that the current options doesn’t allow you to?

I am trying to determine how valuable and necessary this feature will be. More explanation on this here:

Sure, I’m offering people a trial size product that, if they don’t like it they can return it for a refund, but if they do like it (and sign up for autoship), they can get a coupon that is good for the cost of the trial product. The coupon won’t be valid though until they have taken receipt of the second autoshipment.

Basically I want to be able to in effect have a requirement for when the coupon BECOMES valid in addition to an expiration date or in other words a valid date range for use of the coupon.

While your looking into this, can you also let me know if you have any plans to add gift card functionality?

[admin]

Okay sounds good. We will add an option in the plugin so you can specify a “start date” for a coupon.

[Robert]

Thanks, that’s great news.

I have seen a few threads that relate to gift card functionality, but nothing solid. Are there any plans in the works to add gift card functionality? Basically tying the input of information like sender name and email, recipient name and email, message to an add to cart button. I think there was talk of an add on that may relate to this. I’d like to offer gift cards so am also interested in this.

Thanks.

Forgot to ask, what might the timeline be for the “start date” to be added?

Also, any ideas on the gift card functionality?

[Robert]

Any updates to the start date for coupons?

Also, any feedback on my question concerning gift card functionality?

[admin]

I have implemented the coupon start date feature. This eStore build isn’t live yet but I have sent you a copy via email.
