Max global applicatios for Vouchers

[Timo Steidle]

Hi all,

the usage of an offer can be capped via the max_global_applications attribute.
I wonder if there's already a way to limit the number of orders that can use a voucher. e.g. "The first 500 customers, that use the voucher 'NOSHIPPING', get free shipping."

I also noticed that the ConditionalOffers of a voucher won't be deleted if I delete the voucher. Is this on purpose?

Thanks for any information,
Timo

​There isn't a way to restrict by number of orders, but you can get close by setting max_basket_applications=1 as well as max_global_applications=500. This means that an order can only use the offer once and hence 500 orders can use the offer. Does that suffice? ​

​Yes, I think so - although the justification is little weak. 

Previously, Tangent have had clients who would use the same set of private offers to build vouchers - hence we didn't to delete offers when one of the vouchers was deleted.​ I don't think this kind of functionality is exposed in the dashboard right now but it is possible via the core model structure.

 

Thanks for any information,
Timo

I'm afraid it doesn't. The max_global_applications does not work for vouchers,
it will be ignored. I think I have to overwrite the AbstractVoucher model to
implement a global applications limit.
