Gift Card / Gift Certificate Functionality - Massive Upgrade for Inclusion in Standard Store Configuration
Ryan Halloran
Full rebuild of the Gift Certificate / Gift Card functionality to add an easily dropped in 'by store' capacity to add Gift Cards / Gift Certificates. This would include:
• Ability to pre-define static Gift Card Values (e.g. $5, $10, $25, $50, etc.)
• Ability to allow visitor to set their own Gift Card value which translates into a dollar amount in the Shopping Cart
• Ability to automatically send a purchased Gift Card to a target email address
• Ability to grant permissions to purchase Gift Cards to only specific Users within a given Store
• Ability to include a personalized message with a 'Gift Card' sent via email delivery
• Ability to 'white label' Gift Cards with client-specific Store Branding
• Automated generation of Gift Card codes without manual intervention
• Ability to view / filter the Gift Cards by Store, showing Issued Amounts, Used Amounts, Remaining Balances
• Ability to set 'Gift Card' Expiration Dates on a 'per product' basis

I definitely support a radical expansion of the gift card and coupon functionality. I do want to point out that many states in the US do not allow gift cards to expire since they are basically a stand in for cash. Just something store owners need to be aware of, especially if they are selling gift cards online.
