    Default special offer needs own item id but to process as 2 ids to update stock etc

    right so heres the problem i sell xbox codes through my site and have just had a new auto delivery module made. the way the module works is that i input my codes and from there the system automatically pastes the code onto the order confirmation invoice.

    So i bought some games to do some cross selling to rake in a bit more profit and forgot to put some codes aside to input under the bundle codes.

    question is how do i get zen to send the code automatically now?

    so say a customer buys the item id 12mxblwgame

    i need it to recognise that it needs to send a 12mxbl from the code database at the same time as me being able to see they have bought the bundle and not just the code.

    easiest way i can think is having it set up as a cross promotion which means i would sell the game seperate but offer a reduced price if sold with the code. would this be able to be set up as a different item id so its just a simple 1 click to add both to cart?

    sorry if my post is a bit confusing as i am confusing myself here!!!

    Come on guys someone must have an idea what i can do? My only other option i can think of is to have them as 2 seperate items on promotion so there is a reduction once in the shopping cart, but then i have made offer images for no reason

    Maybe your "new auto delivery module" needs some tweaks so you can specify more product model-numbers for it to detect?

    Maybe you can have it allow you to specify multiple model-numbers to trigger certain codes?
    That would sound like the most efficient "fix" to me.

    onlt thing is i paid for the module to be built and have now escrowed the funds a long time ago and have no idea how to begin editing the module. I can enter new item ids easily so my only other way round is to wait till i buy new codes and list a few on the database under the correct item id

    So, you can't remove codes from one model number and re-add them to another one?

    Perhaps a quick call to your developer might give you the info you need to delete a handful of codes and re-enter them?

    yeah think i may have to give it a go although he did moan about the max price i was willing to pay for the job to be done and settled for $100 less than he had previously said. fingers crossed though
