Invites/Rewards Stuff

[qpfiffer]

• Every user needs a special referral link, should be short but not too short.
• 5 character invite code (AlphaCapsNum) (62 ^ 5 permutations)
• /rewards/?code=56LKdF redirects to sign up
• If someone signs up with that invite code, the customer that has that invite code gets an extra order
  • The rewards screen has a "Your Rewards" section which needs to list the rewards they have recieved. (An extra order)
  • A reward: (Rewardee, Invitee, The Order that was the Reward)
  • Special conditions for 3Month/OneYear: They get the order tacked onto the customer's list of orders to be fulfilled
  • If they're month-to-month: The customer should not get their reward until they've had at least a month of fulfilled orders.
• There needs to be another input on the sign up form for the invite code (Waiting on the guy)
• The email form should be space, newline or comma delimited
• The email should a subject SiteSetting as well as a text site setting that is templatized for the body of the email. These should be a fixture.

When rolling out the email there should be a data migration to insert them.

Notes on the month-to-month thing: Introspect the interval between order fulfilment to figure out how many orders need to happen for a month to pass before a rewardee gets their order, as well as a full month of fulfilled orders (No pause trickery)

Implementation for the month-to-month vs. 3Month/1Year behavior:

The order field on a reward can be nullable, which only happens when the customer that is to receive the reward is month-to-month. When an order is fulfilled for that customer, a check is made to see if the requisite amount of time has passed to allow them to get that order, in which case an order is created and the reward updated.

I went with an actual template for the emails that just gets rendered when appropriate, rather than a site setting.

Heres how things stand:

• Every user needs a special referral link, should be short but not too short.
• 5 character invite code (AlphaCapsNum) (62 ^ 5 permutations)
• /rewards/?code=56LKdF redirects to sign up Unnecsary, I just put a query param on the sign up page.
• If someone signs up with that invite code, the customer that has that invite code gets an extra order
• The rewards screen has a "Your Rewards" section which needs to list the rewards they have recieved. (An extra order)
• A reward: (Rewardee, Invitee, The Order that was the Reward)
• Special conditions for 3Month/OneYear: They get the order tacked onto the customer's list of orders to be fulfilled
• If they're month-to-month: The customer should not get their reward until they've had at least a month of fulfilled orders.
• There needs to be another input on the sign up form for the invite code (Just added one myself)
• The email form should be space, newline or comma delimited I ended up only doing commas. This should be trivial to change if necessary.
• The email should a subject SiteSetting as well as a text site setting that is tTemplatized for the body of the email.~~
