Option for current customers to generate coupons for new customer

Hi,

There is no option for that.
With AcyMailing, you can create a campaign so that each customer, after their first order will get an email with a dynamically generated coupon code.
There is however no mechanism to prevent people who already purchased to use the coupon code.
You could do that by having the coupon generator tag in AcyMailing's integration with HikaShop to support the "access level" setting of coupon. That way, you could restrict generated coupons to guests and "registered" users, while move your users with at least one order to another user group with a mass action.
And then, since each user would get a personal coupon code, you could manually check the orders and link them back to the original user to create a coupon for them. Automating that part would then be possible with a custom made plugin.

Hi,

Indeed. That's what I said. That's why I said you should ask AcyMailing's integration to add the support for the "access level" setting of coupons. Then it would be possible.

Hi,

There is a setting "users" in coupons in Hikashop where you can select a list of users allowed to use the coupon. So we could indeed add an opposite setting to prevent the users selected to use the coupons.
But as you said, in that case, on top of having AcyMailing add the option, it would also require us to add it.

Having the possibility to add PHP code to mass actions is an interesting idea. We'll look into it.

Hi,

well, the best would be to do a custom development of a plugin so that you could implement the onAfterCouponCheck( &$coupon, &$total, &$zones, &$products, &$display_error, &$error_message, &$do ) trigger and do the check of the user yourself in the code of that function. If the coupon code should not be used by the current user, you could just set $do to false and set the error message in $error_message.

Hi,

As I said, you can use AcyMailing to generate the coupon. And with it, you can for example include the user_id in the coupon code.
That way, you do have the reference inside the coupon so that in onAfterCouponCheck you can extract the user_id from the coupon code to check if there current user_id is the same or not and if not, block it.
So really, it's just a few lines of code in a Joomla plugin:

function onAfterCouponCheck( &$coupon, &$total, &$zones, &$products, &$display_error, &$error_message, &$do )  {
$user_id = $coupon->discount_code; // extract the user_id from the coupon code based on the coupon code format user in AcyMailing coupon tag. Here we just assume the user_id is used as the coupon code.
if(hikashop_loadUser() === $user_id) $do = false;
}
