Coupon services

In scenarios where your discount coupons are handled outside of EVA, an integration is required for proper validations.

For that the whitelabel coupon handler settings come into play.

note

In instances where more than one coupon handler is used, we require a middleware where they are all grouped under. In turn our integration (coupon handler setting values) would point to that middleware.

Coupon handler settings

Using the Settings module of Admin Suite the following settings need to be configured:

Setting	Description
WhitelabelCouponHandler:BaseUrl	Base URL of the coupon handler.
WhitelabelCouponHandler:Username	The username to log in with.
WhitelabelCouponHandler:Password	The password to log in with.
WhitelabelCouponHandler:Timeout	Inactive time in minutes before a call is timed out. If this setting is not configured, a default value of 10 minutes would apply.

note

In order for EVA to instantiate the response body received by the handler API for consumption, EVA expects a .json format.

Event export

Once settings are in place, event exports can be used. In this scenario, the event contents would read as follows:

• Target: Coupon (ID: 19)
• EventType: Created
• Identifier: A GUID token. This token can then be used to resolve the coupon via the GetCouponByToken service.

Here is a sample GetCouponByToken response:

{
  Code = "TheCouponCode",
  UserID = 1,
  DiscountID = 1,
  DiscountDescription = "as configured",
  DiscountMarketingDescription = "as configured",
  ValidFrom = "as configured - day/month/year",
  ValidTill = "as configured - day/month/year"
}
