Gift Certificate Coupon

[wilhud]

I've setup a gift certificate for $25 on our Able Commerce site. They want to offer 20% of that particular gift certificate. I tried adding a coupon and applying it to the certificate, but when I use it in the store, the discount is not applied. Says 'The coupon code you've entered does not apply to any of the products in your basket'. Does that mean coupons cannot be applied to gift cerificates? Or am I maybe doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Wil

Gift Certificate is also a product in AbleCommerce. I see no reason why a coupon can't be applied to a gift certificate but who knows... may be there is some restriction in AbleCommerce that prevents coupons from getting applied on gift certificates? Someone from Able needs to confirm.

That's what I thought as well, but it does not appear to be working on my version of AC. I'm currently using AbleCommerce 7.0.2 build 11659

There is a restriction in Able code where coupons don't apply to gift certificates in the CouponCalculator.ApplyProductCoupon in the source code

if (item.OrderItemType == OrderItemType.Product && !item.IsChildItem && item.Product!=null && !item.Product.IsGiftCertificate)
