Implementing Gift Card Support

[alessandroribeiro]

Hi, we need to support gift cards in a konakart shop.  We're going to use Chockstone (www.chockstone.com) service for that.  We need support for 2 operations:
1) filling a gift card using credit card or cash
2) paying for a product using a gift card

How hard would it be for us to implement these 2 operations in KonaKart ? 

Thanks
Alessandro

Hi,

I'm not sure exactly how Chockstone works but I assume you would have to provide the following:

1) filling a gift card using credit card or cash

A product that is a Chockstone gift card. When a customer buys the gift card, I assume that you will have to send details of the purchase to Chockstone. You could use the following hook to execute your code. http://www.konakart.com/configurationfaq.php#how_can_i_make_something_happen_when_an

2) paying for a product using a gift card

You will need to write a new payment module for using Chockstone gift cards that communicates with Chockstone, by following these instructions: http://www.konakart.com/customizationfaq.php#How_do_I_create_a_new_payment_module_
