Create (import) coupons via API

The following 2 examples will show how to create (import) coupons via php API.

1. Created (imported) coupons will have to be assigned manually to affiliates

<?php
//your PapApi.class.php file can be downloaded in the merchant panel: Tools>Integration>API Integration>Download PAP API
include ("PapApi.class.php"); //this include assumes the PapApi.class.php is in the same dir as this script

//change localhost/pap to the path of your Post Affiliate Pro installation
$session = new Pap_Api_Session("https://localhost/pap/scripts/server.php");

//login as merchant (in PAN as Network-Owner)
if(!$session->login("merchant@example.com","demo")) {
  die("Cannot login. Message: ". $session->getMessage());
}

$request = new Gpf_Rpc_Request("Pap_Features_Coupon_CreateCoupons", "import", $session);

$request->addParam('fields', new Gpf_Rpc_Array(array(array('name', 'value'), 
array("Id", "b18fcc52"), //banner ID of the coupon banner
array("validfrom","2013-10-03"),
array("unlimitedValidity","N"), //validity of coupons is NOT UNLIMITED
array("validto","2013-10-04"),
array("maxusecount","0"), 
array("couponassigment","R"), //Coupons will have to be manually assigned to affiliates.
array("couponcodes","xyz123,vxyz12")
)));


try {
	$request->sendNow();
} catch(Exception $e) {
	die("API call error: ".$e->getMessage());
}

$response = $request->getStdResponse();


if ($response->success == 'Y') { 
	echo 'Success: ' . $response->message; 
} else { 
	echo 'Unsuccess: ' . $response->message; 
}

?>

Then you can use another API to manually assign created coupons to desired affiliates:

2) Created (imported) coupons will be automatically and randomly assigned to affiliates.

Therefore it is essential to generate at leaset as many coupons as we have affiliates. More exactly:

"Number Of Affilaites" * "Coupon per Affiliate" * 110%

<?php
//your PapApi.class.php file can be downloaded in the merchant panel: Tools>Integration>API Integration>Download PAP API
include ("PapApi.class.php"); //this include assumes the PapApi.class.php is in the same dir as this script

//change localhost/pap to the path of your Post Affiliate Pro installation
$session = new Pap_Api_Session("https://localhost/pap/scripts/server.php");

//login as merchant (in PAN as Network-Owner)
if(!$session->login("merchant@example.com","demo")) {
  die("Cannot login. Message: ". $session->getMessage());
}

$request = new Gpf_Rpc_Request("Pap_Features_Coupon_CreateCoupons", "import", $session);

$request->addParam('fields', new Gpf_Rpc_Array(array(array('name', 'value'), 
array("Id", "b18fcc52"), //banner ID of the coupon banner
array("validfrom","2013-10-03"),
array("unlimitedValidity","Y"), //validity of coupons is UNLIMITED
array("validto",""), //therefore the validto  value has to remain empty
array("maxusecount","0"), 
array("couponassigment","A"), //Coupons will be automatically and randomly assigned to affiliates.
array("couponsperaff","1"), // 1 coupon per affiliate 
array("couponcodes","xyz1,xyz2,xyz3") //We must create at least as many coupons as we have  affiliates
					//More exactly: NumberOfAffilaites * CouponPerAffiliate * 110% 
)));


try {
	$request->sendNow();
} catch(Exception $e) {
	die("API call error: ".$e->getMessage());
}

$response = $request->getStdResponse();


if ($response->success == 'Y') { 
	echo 'Success: ' . $response->message; 
} else { 
	echo 'Unsuccess: ' . $response->message; 
}

?>
