Advent and promo calendar

A calendar with doors that open day by day: a discount code, a product offer, content or a link behind each one.

€390 + VAT · one-off licence, no subscription

About the module

What it does.

"Every December we build the advent calendar by hand and it costs us a whole week." Publishing codes and offers by hand every day is tiring, it gets forgotten, and discounts quickly leak onward.

What it looks like in practice

You pick the Advent preset and a year. The module creates 24 doors with their texts. For each door you decide what is behind it: a discount code, a product, content or a link. A visitor comes to the calendar page, enters an email address and opens a new door each day. If a code is waiting behind it, they copy it or press "Apply to cart". The clock is the server's, so changing the time on the computer opens nothing.

What changes

Four door types. A discount code (your cart price rule, shown as the rule's own code or as a unique code per participant), a product (up to four SKUs with price, stock and add to cart), content (editor or a CMS block) and a link.
Seven presets. Advent (1-24 December), St Nicholas, twelve days, Black Week (computed for each year), Easter week, anniversary and custom. The texts come in English, Slovenian, German and Croatian.
Unique codes that really expire. Magento does not enforce coupon expiry by itself; the module does, in the cart and when the order is placed. The deadline counts from the moment the visitor opened the door.
One person, one opening. E-mail normalisation (dots and +tags in Gmail), a cap on participants per door, a limit per IP address, a trap for bots and an optional newsletter sign-up.
Statistics per door and preview. Impressions, opens, claims, applied codes, orders and revenue attributed to the door whose code paid for the order. You can preview the calendar at any date and time through a signed link, without creating codes.

Who it is for

For shops that want a promotion with a reason to visit every day for Advent, Black Week, Easter or an anniversary. A calendar is also easy to copy into the next year.

How you set it up

You create calendars under Marketing › Advent and Promo Calendar › Calendars, where you also find the participants. General settings (main switch, participant cookie, abuse protection, preview) are under Stores › Configuration › Magelan › Advent and Promo Calendar. It works on the Luma and Hyvä themes.

Good to know

The module is switched off by default; an imported or duplicated calendar is always created switched off until you enable it.
For codes you need cart price rules; for unique codes the rule must use "Specific Coupon" with automatic code generation on.
This is not a prize game: there is no draw and no chance, and every participant gets the same benefit. So do not call the codes a prize or a win. Publish the calendar rules on a CMS page; the documentation includes a template.
When you announce price reductions you are legally required to state the lowest price of the last 30 days; the module advises against showing percentages on public surfaces without it.
The module sends no email itself; the code is shown on screen.
Cron must run to attribute orders and clean up data. Participants are anonymised after the calendar ends (by default after 90 days).

Installation

How to install it.

We install the module from our repository with Composer. We send you the user name and access key for the repository after purchase. If you prefer, we install it for you.

In the root of the Magento 2 store run the commands (replace UPORABNIK and DOSTOPNI_KLJUC with the user name and access key you received):

composer config repositories.degriz composer https://www.degriz.net/konfigurator/composer/packages/composer config --auth http-basic.www.degriz.net UPORABNIK DOSTOPNI_KLJUCcomposer require degriznet/m2_adventcalendarphp bin/magento module:enable Magelan_AdventCalendarphp bin/magento setup:upgradephp bin/magento setup:di:compilephp bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -fphp bin/magento cache:flush

Setup

In the admin open Stores › Configuration › Magelan › Advent and Promo Calendar.

Switch the module on (it is off by default) and make sure cron is running.
Under Marketing › Advent and Promo Calendar › Calendars add a calendar, pick a preset and a year: the doors and texts are created for you.
Create cart price rules for the doors with codes (for unique codes "Specific Coupon" with automatic generation) and pick them at the doors.
Publish the calendar rules on a CMS page and enter its address and your privacy policy link in the calendar.
Preview the calendar at a chosen date, set it to Test or Enabled and check the calendar page.

Where do I get the user name and the access key?

After the purchase we send you the access key by e-mail. Keep it safe: for security it is shown only once and we do not keep it in readable form. The user name (your project code) and all the commands, ready to copy, are in your account under My account > Module licences.

Lost the key? Write to us and we will issue a new one; the old one stops working. [email protected]

Editing a calendar can be saved.

The full calendar placed as a widget in a CMS page or block renders with its icons.
Saving a calendar or door clears the page cache, so the change shows at once.
