Gift Catalog Overhaul

Background

The insane amount of gifts (both test & real gifts) are really muddying up the gift catalog

It looks very unprofessional when we have things like this visible to all of our clients:

We then have to explain that it’s just our devs testing & it won’t influence anything.

it’s not the end of the world—and clients understand—but it’s a little embarrassing

There’s also the larger issue of some clients already having the kits in their catalog.

Ex: A client with a Gibson would see 5 other Gibsons from 5 other accounts

This makes the catalog unclear, and users don’t come back to the feature (which could be a big sales driver)

Solution

Stop pulling in Kits & Products into the Gift Catalog

Make a new object that’s exclusive to the Gift Catalog

This object is very similar to kits/products in terms of fields

The object is different in a few ways:

they are not orderable

They do not have:

SKUs

Inventory Threshold & Email

Chargeback Amount

Taxable $

They will have a multi-select field for the Company instead of a single select

This will pull into the selected companies

When a company adds a relevant kit, we will add a kit to their orderable catalog (via product management), and deselect their company from the list in the Gift Catalog

Mimic the Parent (Kit) Child (Product) relationship that the current Product Management has. I like how those products pull into the catalog table

Please keep the Gift Request tab in Super Admin the same

Add Price to the Gift Catalog table

Make the Gift Catalog only one table, instead of ‘All Gifts/Other Company Gifts/My Company Gift’
