First off kudos to the folks at Varien for the great work thus far. A question about the Roadmap for Magento…
I was wondering if the features listed on the roadmap at http://www.magentocommerce.com/roadmap has functionality in the order from top to bottom in which they are going to be built? In particular I am excited to get Gift Certificates working in Magento. In particular:
- ability to purchase a GC, and send a redemption code to a recipient
- redemption of the GC during checkout
- remaining credit of GC to be maintained
- ability ot check GC value
In a slightly similar vein, is it possible to create products in Magento that have user-specified prices? This is similar to a gift certificate feature in that users can specify the amount of the certificate.
First, I would also like to commend Roy and the entire Varien team on a job well done so far. I was also wondering what the roadmap for gift certificates is, are the feature even in development yet? However, more important to me right now is in the same vein as jnankin’s comment. I am trying to build a online pressence for my retail store, we do allot of gift certificate sales in weird denominations. I am therefore looking for a way to have user defined prices. Is there a way to do this that I do not know about, is it a feature that is coming as well or has some built a module to do this type of transaction already?
I, too, am in need of a gift certificate feature. If anyone has discovered a way to do this now (some way to use a current feature for that purpose) or if someone has a module, I would appreciate knowing about it.
The Gift Certificate feature has become one of the decision points for selecting a shopping cart for the project.
