0 JFSG Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 According to my search on the demo of WHMCS, it seems like WHMCS does not have this feature... Why not include this? It can come in handy for VPS resellers to purchase their resold VPS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 othellotech Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 We implemented this by creating vouchers suffixed with CNNNNNNNX N=client number X=checksum so they're almost impossible to guess 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JFSG Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 @othellotech: However, this does not mean that others cannot use the coupon code isn't it? Besides, we can't possible check every order for usage of 'others' coupon code(s)... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jackgordon Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 can't you just set the "maximum uses" to 1? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JFSG Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Jack, it will not work, as I'm not interested in letting the code be used once, but multiple times by a SINGLE account/client, especially those who are going to resell VPS or dedicated servers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 AndrewMKP Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 LaptopFreak, I think you will find Jack's way will work fine. When the client wants to use it again then you change the usage from maximum of 1 to 2 and it is then controled. You can also check your coupon usage in the reports area by going to: Reports > Promotions Usage. Hope this helps you out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JFSG Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 That idea will not work for me. It will be more than just troublesome to do it this way, cause, VPS/Dedicated Server resellers will usually make a purchase as and when they like, or should I say, when they have a client signing up, so if I'm doing it this way, I may as well process all orders manually.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 AndrewMKP Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 If you require some custom coding then you will need to contact WHMCS by opening a support ticket and see what they say. Cheers. Andrew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JFSG Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 That can be added as a new feature instead, as I'm sure somebody will like it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jackgordon Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I like Othello's system, but with a tweak. Give your client a highly unique code to use, (i.e. discount-x7ue9pl2) and make sure they understand it is for their use only. If you can't trust them to not share it with others, then you should consider putting them on a tighter leash, such as making them come to you for code activation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SilverNodashi Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I think this is a great idea to add, and you have my vote for it as a feature request too. Limiting a specific coupon to a specific client give one much more control, and much less overhead to make sure "all the kids are playing fair" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 easyhosting Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Just set the promotion in the normal way and then only have this available to your VPS/dedicated server product areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JFSG Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Just set the promotion in the normal way and then only have this available to your VPS/dedicated server product areas. No, no, no & no! As I had mentioned int he previous posts. I don't want to repeat the same answer to everybody telling the same solution... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ride on toys Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Would be much better if it is available for at-least for few clients.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 othellotech Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 @othellotech: However, this does not mean that others cannot use the coupon code isn't it. Yes, just validate it when they enter it - if you set the formula to encode their userid into the coupon code, then you can add to the tpl the formula to check it We provide clients with coupons only they can use, which show up in their client area when they login - and about to rollout a version of the orderform which gives them a list of *their* coupons - WHMCS is very very extensible 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mr George Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Another way, if you don't mind giving the same discount rate for all products: You could create a client group and set it's discount rate. You can then just have that one client in the group (and add more clients to the group as and when you want them to have the same terms). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
