Better Together Contribution Support Thread

I have better together installed and am using it for a buy from one category get item from other category at $5 off. It works fine alone. What doesn't work is when it is used along side the ZenCart Coupon Discount on a taxable good. I am having some problems on the checkout calculations.

Right now I am only taxing to California residents and this problem only applies to those orders that involve tax...

If the BT Discount comes after the 10% off Coupon Discount in the sort order things calculate fine it seems. However, if it comes before the coupon discount (as my client prefers) it deducts some change from the total of the coupon discount. For example:

Sub-Total: $190.00
FREE SHIPPING! (Free Shipping Only):$0.00
Matching Set Discount:-$10.00 <-Better Together
Discount Coupon: 10%OFF :-$17.92
CA TAX 8.25%: $13.36
Total: $175.44

So the Discount coupon should really be for $18.
error in price varies depending on what's in the cart...it's not always an $.08 difference.

I have no idea why this is happening. Both modules are set to:
Include tax: False
Recalculate Tax: Standard

Please help!! I've spent all day trying to figure this out and had to launch the site with the problem.

The first installment of image support in Better Together will be available shortly. I have added images to the Better Together Promotional Page (which some of you have downloaded from my site), and will be releasing it into the Zen Cart Downloads area.

The Better Together Promotional Page is now available from the Zen Cart Download forum. Please see the support thread

for details.

Hey all,

Quick question, Is it possible to do, was looking through all the notes and couldn't see anything that could make a restriction relative to price:

Spend £35 on Cat 349
and get any Prod from Cat 39 Free

regards

Andy.

You can't do this with Better Together. See PM for other suggestions.

Has anyone had difficulties getting this to function? I have uploaded the files and added the code manually and with the admin plugin and it wont add the discount at checkout. My goal is to get category 3 to have 60% when buying anything from category 1. I've tried product to product code as well. No discount is showing in the shopping cart. Anyone had this and resolved it or know what I could be doing wrong? I followed the install to its every detail. :unsure: :lost:

Zencart 1.3.7.1

I've looked at various discounting modules and I'm not sure which one will do the trick.

I'd like to offer combinations of two and three items where:

1. If you buy A, you get a percent discount on either B or C or Both.

2. and....where the discount-module has quantity ceilings/maximums, and then default item pricing takes over - meaning, over certain item quantities (per type of item) - the item's regular sliding pricing (through native zencart) applies.

Perhaps there could be quantity ranges like this:

If you buy 2-4 of A, then you get percentage discounts on 3-6 of B and/or percentage discounts on 1-2 of C.

However, what I'm trying to avoid is where a small quantity of A is ordered so as to trigger too big of a discount on large quantities of C.

Meaning, if 1 of A is ordered just to get a 50% discount on 1,000 of C, on top of any native sliding discount in the zen item pricing.

I can see that many of the discount modules can have a MINIMUM required quantity, but can any of the modules also have MAXIMUM quantity - so as to create bracketed discounted groupings? Maybe it's just a case of creating further tiers out to 0% discounts.

Many thanks :smile:

Response by PM.

I've spent the whole morning trying to figure out why the discounts weren't working and finally I figured out that I was using a Linked product ID. You have to be using the main category ID of the product or category otherwise the discounts don't work.
