How to give a user credits

In situations when managing client photo galleries with Sunshine Photo Cart, there might be instances where you need to give a user "store credit". A common reason this feature is used is to give a specific customer money to use towards online photo gallery purchases whcih were included as part of the session fees. In such cases, Sunshine Photo Cart allows you to easily allocate a specific amount as store credit, which clients can then use to buy prints or other products from their photo gallery.

• Go to Sunshine > Customers
• Find the customer to assign credits and click on their name
• Enter the amount of credits you want to give and click "save"Save Credits"

Step 1

In the WordPress administration area, go to Users.

Step 2

Hover over the username, click on “Credits”.

Step 3

Enter a value in the Credits field. Each credit equals $1, or whichever currency you are using.

Step 4

At checkout, users will see an option to use their credits in the Payment Options box.

Step 5

When the user checks the box to use credits, the cart totals are updated.

Step 6

If a user has more credits than the total of the purchase, Sunshine will only use the credits it needs and also remove all other payment options since the order will be "free" to the client and no other payment information is required.
