TCS,

I tested the gift certs again, and I had a question. When the order status is updated, does it reissue the certificate?

I "purchased" a certificate for a "friend" who did not have an account, for $20. Paid for it by check / test gateway.

The account was created, and it sent an email with those details, along with the gift certificate information.

Since the order was placed using the test gateway, the admin had to manually change the status to "completed."

Upon doing this another email was sent, 3 minutes later (the time it took for me to login as admin and change the order status, it seems).

When I logged in as the "friend's" account, added an item to my cart, and checked out, it told me I have $40 worth of gift certificates - twice the amount that was actually purchased.

This could be a problem especially for workflow integration, where the order status might need to get updated a couple times (for shipping purposes especially).
