Below are some notes about gift certificates as they are used in CLassLoaderPro.
- A gift certificate does not have a dollar value and instead is used for admission to a class.
- Class types can be grouped together to allow one gift certificate to be used for multiple class types.
- ClassLoaderPro supports quantity discounts when purchasing gift certificates.
- Gift certificate prices are managed separately from class prices.
- When someone purchases a gift certificate, no registration information is collected.
- When a person redeems a gift certificate, everything works as if they paid for a class, as in, ClassLoaderPro collects the email address, phone number, legal name, etc of the student registering. The PayPal process is skipped since they are using a gift certificate.
- Set prices and an expiation policy for at least one gift certificate group.
- Configure a class type (template) to use the gift certificate group
