Voucher vs. % or $ Discount was created by Alex
I was looking for some doc info about the 3rd option in the coupons configuration.

How does the voucher work that's different from how % or $ discount works?

Hi

I am sorry, we don't have that documentation available at the moment. When you create a coupon type Voucher, users can use that coupon code until the discount amount reached

For example, if it is 100$ and first time, you register for an event and use 70$ discount, next time, you can still use that coupon code for the remaining 30$ amount

Does it make sense?

Another way of thinking about it is as a gift "voucher" or gift card, with a value that reduces as it is used.

That's a very cool feature! I wonder if there is a way to build in gift certificate building feature (similar to the invoice and certificate settings). Or maybe work in a way to link the voucher code to registered user account.

In any case this feature opens up some great opportunities.

Thanks!

My plan is implementing a plugin for my other extension Payment Form to allow selling voucher for Events Booking. Basically, users can pay the money they want - or pre-defined amount by admin - and the system will generate a voucher code for them to use for registration for events in Events Booking

Hopefully we will have it in few weeks

huh! I didn't know that! when I made my plugin for auto-generating coupons I made this option by myself... too late now to change the code...

Hehe, as long as it works for your need, then it's fine. Don't worry about this feature

Any progress on this? It would be great to offer "Gift Certificates" or vouchers for event booking for the holidays,. Is anyone finding a way to offer these to be used towards registering for an event?

Hi

This was implemented sometime ago. But you need to use Payment Form together with Events Booking extension to have this option:

1. Uses Payment Form to sell voucher codes

2. When someone makes payment via Payment Form, the extension will create a voucher code in Events Booking with the amount he paid. Then can then use this voucher to register for events in Events Booking
