New user here, got a quick question.

Is it possible to use ACYmailing with 3rd party utilities like AWOcoupon? It seems they have a far more robust feature set than that which is found in VM, and in their registered (commercial) version it claims to "bolt" onto the existing VM coupon system.

On a side note, just to make sure I understand how the VM/ACYm coupon system works, can I can create a user-specific coupon that is triggered for his/her birthday that may be used only once? I want to avoid the kind of situation where a standard generic coupon code gets sent all over the place, and customers other than the one intended use the same coupon code for their orders.

Thanks!

Using our birthday Newsletter plugin:

And our VM coupon plugin:
www.acyba.com/en/support/documentation/1...gin-tagvmcoupon.html
You will indeed be able to automatically generate a coupon discount and send it to your user at his birthday (the coupon will be usable only once).

This system uses the standard VM coupon feature (with absolutely no hack), I don't know if AWOCoupon will support this system as well, it depends on the way they interact with VirtueMart. That's probably something you want to ask them "will the standard VM coupon system work even if I install AWOCoupon?"


If the answer is No, then an AcyMailing plugin for AWOCoupon should be developed:

Ok, I got the Birthday plugin alright, but I can't seem to find where to download the VM Coupon plugin. It's not on your site here in the download section, and I can't locate the tab in the ACYmailing control panel. Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Our VM Coupon plugin is automatically installed with AcyMailing Business and Enterprise and it should be automatically published if you use VirtueMart.

OK, I finally found the tab. I was looking in the ACY configuration panel, not the newsletter itself, which I had not created. However, what wasn't clear in the process is that you have to enter the amount first then click outside the value entry field box to get the 'insert the tag' field to appear.

We're all good now, but for one question. Does the coupon have an expiration, or does it hang there until used? I realize that might be a VM question, but hoping one of you will be able to answer.

Thanks!

Hello,


The VM coupon does not have any expiration date (it's unfortunately not something VM handles).

We published the query to mass delete coupon discounts:

The AWOcoupon team released their own AcyMailing plugin to automatically generate personal VM coupons when sending a Newsletter.
This plugin is included in their PRO version.

John, I was glad to get this worked out one way or the other. I contacted Seyi and suggested he reach out to you guys, and it seems he's taken the initiative to work it out. I think the combination of your two products makes a killer solution. Thanks for a great product!

Thanks for having initiate the process.
We will always be opened to 3rd party integrations and we will help other developers to do it.
