Hiya
To add a few new features to our site, we will need to make some changes to the current functionality of the website. Our website is currently operational and built using standard PHP and a MySQL database.
The goal of these new features is to give customers the option to purchase gift cards rather than tickets at a set price. However, there are a few steps we will need to take in order to implement this feature successfully.
1. Modify the Payment System: The first step is to modify the payment system to allow for the purchase of gift cards. Instead of just a fixed price, we will need to add an option for customers to select a gift card amount.
2. Update Product Pages: Next, we will need to update all product pages to reflect the new option of purchasing gift cards. This will include updating the pricing information and adding a brief description of the gift card feature.
3. Include Gift Card Information in Checkout Process: In order to allow customers to purchase gift cards, we will need to add a step in the checkout process where they can select the gift card option and enter the desired amount.
4. Modify Database: Since the website currently has a database in place for ticket purchases, we will need to modify it to accommodate gift cards as well. This will involve adding a new table or fields to the existing table to store gift card information.
5. Create Gift Card Redemption System: We will also need to create a system for customers to redeem their gift cards. This can be in the form of a unique code or QR code that can be used at checkout to deduct the gift card amount from the total purchase.
6. Update Customer Accounts: For customers who have already purchased tickets through the website, we will need to update their accounts to reflect the new gift card feature. This can include adding gift card balances to their account or allowing them to use their existing tickets towards gift card purchases.
With these changes in place, our website will now offer the option for customers to purchase gift cards in addition to tickets. This will give them more flexibility and can also serve as a great gifting option for friends and family.
In summary, to add the new feature of gift cards to our website, we will need to modify the payment system, update product pages, include gift card information in the checkout process, modify the database, create a gift card redemption system, and update customer accounts. These steps will ensure a smooth integration of the new feature and enhance the overall user experience of our website.
