Language Uploads
The module includes English as the base language. If you wish to translate it to your enabled language in WHMCS. Make a copy of the english.php in /modules/addons/giftcard/lang/ to your associated language. For example, french.php. The filename must match to the ones in the WHMCS/lang/french.php
Configuration
Activation
Log into your WHMCS admin and enable the module by going to Setup → Addon Modules → Gift Card Module Admin → Activate
Once activated, click on Configure and fill in the license key and make any settings adjustment.
WHMCS Product Setup
During the initial module activation, the wizard will create a new Product Group and Product (Product Placeholder) in your WHMCS install. Both of these are hidden by default and it does not need to be shown to your customers.
There are few things you would want to adjust before continuing.
Update the Product groups (Gift Card Group) to only allow certain type of payment. This important as you don't want to allow fraud to happen with gift cards
Updating the Product,
- You may want to change the Product Name as this will be listed in the invoice item.
- Make sure the Welcome Email is matched with the Welcome email (Gift Card Available) the module had created during activation.
- Tax, on or off? Some countries require Gift cards purchase to be taxed
- Pricing, leaving it as 0.00. They will be adjusted accordingly during checkout
- Module Settings → Module Name → Gift Card Provision Module
If you have updated the name of product placeholder, make sure you go back to the Module Configuration in Setup → Addon Modules → Configure and update to the new Product name accordingly to the Generic Product ID dropdown
Note: The product and product is hidden because the module doesn't use the WHMCS system to checkout the order. However, it does use WHMCS's order system + API to manage the orders. Therefore, the Product Placeholder is needed for invoice iteming.
