GW Coupons Pros and Cons

byfabjr71 on November 8, 2009

Let me preface this with a little history. Prior to 0.5 RC1 the program worked very well and I was impressed. It was a very valuable program. However, since the RC1 I cannot get the program to work properly. Unfortunately, it will not allow coupons to activate upon purchase. Additionally, the not having the ability for coupons upon registration is a further disappointment. Hopefully, these issues will all be corrected in the next release. So, until then, I would hold off downloading this program and not get your hopes up. However, once the next update comes out, I would give it a try.

I am doing what I can to look through the code to figure out why certain features are not working. Hopefully the developer will contact me and we can get these issues resolved.

useful functionality

bybeededea on July 21, 2009

This is essential functionality for any VM shop to retain customer loyalty. It does not enhance core coupons it adds new coupons that are generated automatically when certain events occur such as the customer reaching a set purchase value or purchsing a particular product, the coupon is then created.
Note to developer: keep on developing for VM 1.0. I have five shops that will never upgrade to VM 1.1 and they need this component.

Thank you for this comment. Many people semms to be interested, so i will bring some very interesting features soon ;-)

But i'm alone on this project and too many tasks on the road-map, so i have to stop the developpemnt for VM 1.0 (sorry about that) to work on VM 1.1+ and VM 2.0 (that will come on early 2010) !!!

This is a great idea have a request

Great product...I have been looking for and suggest the feature to be able to issue coupons that limit the category the user can redeem the coupon in. Eg if they buy products from category XX which are physical products then they are issued with a coupon that they can spend on downloadable products only in category YY.

Hello and thank you for this review. Your feature proposal sounds great, i note it !
Nowadays, GWCoupons (in the v0.5) will only generate Coupons on some events ... and "LET" virtuemart manage the used of the coupon in the Shopping Cart.
So GWCoupons could not (now) intercept the "utilization" of the coupon ... but this seems to be a great idea, thank you ... (perhaps later) !
And for the generation of coupons only on some virtuemart categories, yes, that's a good new event, i will try to add it to a next (not so far) release ;)
Thanks a lot.

Excellent Component!

Thank you Marc for this nice component.It is fantastic to create a marketing strategy depand on customer loyalty.I created many types of coupons to ensure that existing customers will come back.Documentation of the component is extremely good and easy to understand.Only I had problem with the "bot_gw_checklimit_v0.2" plugin,once I installed it and activate than I couldn't reached to my site's both backend and frontend and I took "Direct Access to this location is not allowed" error ,is this a kind of bug or is there any problem with my settings?Your comments will be higly appreciated. I will look forward to see future improvements of this component.I highly recommend it to the sellers who want to create compaings for their customers!!

Hello, thank you for your comment. Now, some explanations : The Plugin GWValidity (replace Bot Check_limit) has been developped after the release in v0.50 RC1 of GWCoupons component and the plugin has been late to be released. It's the reason why you have used the old bot check_limit that only work with J!1.0. The PLugin GWValidity v0.50 RC1 for J!1.5 is now on-line !
