What is store credit / gift certificate?
↑ Volver al principioA store credit or gift certificate is a monetary value assigned as a credit to the customer. So the customer can use that credit all at once or multiple times to make purchases until the credit is exhausted or its validity expires. If the available store credit balance is less than the total amount to be paid, the remaining amount can be paid using other payment methods.
In Smart Coupons, a store credit / gift certificate is available as a discount type coupon. So if you want to allow users to use store credit / gift certificate till it has balance, better not set the usage limit for it. This will allow customers to redeem credit multiple times until it is exhausted or is expired.
