Our organization is in the process of making a push toward gift certificate purchases, which is something we have not heavily marketed in previous years. While going through the process of getting these set up for sale online, I'm noticing that every version of our credit cards are showing up.
We have multiple versions of each credit card payment method in our system due to different support groups having different accounts. Normally when we have something new to place on sale, I go to LTR_TNEW_DYN_PAYMENT_METHOD and associate the payment method with the price type/contribution/etc. However, I don't see an option in that table to tie gift certificate purchases to a specific payment method, causing the purchaser to see a list of credit card options that are four types of cards listed three times (screen shot attached).
Does anyone have any easy work around plans that we could use to only show the payment methods we want?
Thanks for any help!
Hi Catie,
I'm coming up against this as well. How did you go?
Cheers,
Heath
Hi Heath,
No luck on this so far. I opened a ticket with the TNEW team and they said that there's currently no way to do it using LTR_TNEW_DYN_PAYMENT_METHODS, but that there's an enhancement request in for this and they're looking at it for future versions. We're still doing all gc sales through our box office, but I'm considering creating a contribution type for this that would go on account and then I'd manually create gift certfiicates from there. I'm planning to take some time over the summer off-season to try testing that, so I'll let you know how that goes.
Great idea with the contribution work around. There's a bunch of contrib hacks I want to try when we get on TNEW 7. At present I'm looking at a customisation of LWP_VALIDATE_CART and LTR_TNEW_VALIDATE_CART perhaps. I'll that doesn't happen them I might have to redesign our GCs to be performance specific merch products.
