Create 1000s of coupon codes

[kenyastar]

FAB contribution. I have the Gift and Coupon installed.

My goal: Send 18,000 coupons (or certificates) to my customers via snail mail.

Customer redeem coupon without an account.

Each coupon will have its own unique number.

 

Any suggestions on best way to do this would be most appreciated. So far I can only see how to create them 1 at a time or via email. I'm sure there is a way to create 1000s at once but I don't see it.

 

Thanks for any help!

cretae a spread sheet.

Place some formula in spread sheet so that the rows get auto populated.

 

Now convert his into a csv file.

 

Modify a partof easy populate and that will help You populate coupon code.

 

No way to create a 1000 coupon at a go.

 

or just write a loop so that instead of one it creates some defined numbers.

Very clever idea! I think I can make that work. I'll update when done. THANKS!

 

Oh, one other problem I just had. When clicking 'redeem' button on checkout_payment page it wipes out the CC info. So, the customer would have to re enter their CC info after redeeming their coupon. I am searching forums now for a solution.

Had seen similar problem on some site.

 

Somewhere the session variables are getting destroyed that keep the CC data just track those values.
