Coupons/Discounts in PowerStore

I want to deploy a simple coupon system in Powerstore. Is it as simple as following the pdf on this from ecart?

I wanted to make sure there wasn't anything unique about PS I needed to consider before I did this.

Yes, you just need to follow the eCart Coupon tutorial.

We are trying to find a way to link our retail store rewards card to PowerStore. During checkout we would like people to add their rewards card number and have that number be sent to a database where our customers can get credit for their online purchases. Can you please provide a recipe that will allow us to preform this task?

add a text field to the checkout form on the checkout page:
<input name="rewardsCard" type="text" id="rewardsCard" value="" />

On the confirm page, add a hidden form element of the same name to capture the value posted from the checkout page:
<input name="rewardsCard" type="hidden" id="rewardsCard" value="<?php echo((isset($_POST["rewardsCard"]))?$_POST["rewardsCard"]:"") ?>" />


In your database, edit the order table, create a new column to capture the reward number entered.

On the confirm page, edit the eCart Store Order Summary server behavior. Bind the new rewards Card database column to the rewardsCard form element.

Jason,

I accomplished the coupon code functionality. Very simple.

Question.

How can I list on the cart.php page the exact PromoCode the customer is getting? Which I guess needs to cascade through to the final checkout-confirm and also the email confirmation page.

For example:

Discount: -$10.30
SessionVariable: (Rule #1) -$5.30
SessionVariable: (Rule #2) -$5.00

I'm using two rules based on the Session Variable.
Rule #1 - Promotional Discount - 25% off
Rule #2 - Free Shipping - Flat Rate Discount

Everything works great. I just need to display (broken down) what discounts the customer is getting.

When you create a cart display, On the Third page of the display wizard, you can select how to display discount, shipping and tax charges, select Individually for the discounts to show an itemized list of the discounts.

The cart display is from Powerstore. Does that matter?

And does that cascade through from cart to email confirmation?

Cart ->Confirm ->Email

Also, is there any other code that gets generated other than this:

/code start

<?php
if (!$WA_Store_Cart->Rules_EOF("Discounts")) {
while (!$WA_Store_Cart->Rules_EOF("Discounts")) {
if ($WA_Store_Cart->RuleLooperValue("Discounts") > 0) {
?>
<tr>
<td class="eC_IndividualLabel"><?php echo $WA_Store_Cart->RuleLooperName("Discounts"); ?></td>
<td class="eC_IndividualCharge">-<?php echo WA_eCart_DisplayMoney($WA_Store_Cart, $WA_Store_Cart->RuleLooperValue("Discounts")); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
$WA_Store_Cart->Rules_MoveNext("Discounts");
}
$WA_Store_Cart->Rules_MoveFirst("Discounts");
}
?>

/code end


Terry

no the change needs to be made in the email and in thwe cart, anywhere the cart is displayed.


that is the code that is added for looping through the discount rules, you can manually add that to the existing cart display code rather recreating it.

Thanks Jason,

This worked perfectly. I will copy the code to the confirmation page and email. Works great on the checkout.

EASY way to implement coupons.

Thanks again,

Terry

Excellent, glad to hear it is working.
