Our client want customers to be able to buy gift vouchers online which can then be redeemed at a later date. I know uWebshop has discount code functionality that allow discounts to be applied to orders but is there the functionality to allow gift vouchers to be purchased i.e. after a voucher product is purchased a page containing the discount code is shown.
(didn't think this was a support request as such hence posting here)
You could probably do this by hooking into one of the order events in uWebShop and then using the ContentService to create a new discount node in Umbraco, setting a unique coupon code on it for that customer and then emailing them the code.
You could even have a base discount node with the majority of fields set and then just use the ContentService.Copy each time someone orders a voucher product.

That's what I've ended up doing and it seems to work OK. It's nice knowing my solution is something others would come up with as well though.
