Tip
titleDifference between a credit slip, a voucher and a cart rule

A credit slip is first and foremost a written proof that a product has been returned. Most of the time, the user can use it as a voucher.

A voucher is a discount code which does not have to be tied to a merchandise return or a refund, and which can take many more forms than a simple credit slip:

  • a A discount on an order (percentage).
  • a A discount on an order (amount).
  • free Free shipping.

You can apply a voucher to all customers, or a group of customers, or a single customer; you can set its expiration date;

A cart rule is basically an advanced version of a voucher: in addition to what a voucher could do in PrestaShop 1.4, the cart rules system introduced in PrestaShop 1.5 enables you to:

  • Name the discount.
  • Allow the customer to use only a portion of the discount.
  • Assign priorities between cart rules.
  • Set the compatibility between cart rules.
  • Have the discount only work with some carriers.
  • Have the discount only work with a selection of products and/or categories and/or manufacturers and/or suppliers and/or attributes... or all of these at the same time if necessary!
  • Have the discount be applicable for free shipping and/or a discount on an order and/or a free gift... or all of these at the same time if necessary!

...

In the "Products" section, at the bottom of the products listing, you can find an empty table with a an "Add new discount". This create creates a simple discount, not as advanced as the vouchers/cart rules system. Clicking it will open a new form, with the following items:

  • Name. Give the discount a short name. This will be public to the customer.
  • Type. Choose the discount type: "percent", "amount" or "free shipping".
  • Value. For the "percent" or "amount" types, set the value of the discount.
  • Invoice. Select to which invoice from this order this discount should be applied. When there are is more than one invoice, you can check the box to apply the discount to all the invoices.

...

In both of these cases, once your message is ready, click the "Send" button. Your customer will receive your message in their inbox (the one indicated in their account).

...

  1. Access the "Orders History" section of his or her account.
  2. Select the order from which he wants to return an item.
  3. Select the product(s) that s/he wishes to return by checking the box next to its name(s).
