Discount for Store Pickup

[harun]

Hi,

After trawling the internet and this forum for days I need to ask for HELP!

I'm trying to set-up my store to apply a percentage discount if the shopper chooses to collect their order from the shop instead of having it delivered.

It is for a fast food takeaway that offers free delivery, but a discount if you choose to collect.

I'm using version v1.3.9f.

Thank you in advance - you guys seem to be a helpful bunch!

Have you tried adding a negative value on the Handling Fee for the Store Pickup storepickup shipping module?

[harun]

Excellent suggestion, I've just tried it and it gives a negative figure - but I need a percentage.

Can I put a formula in (like in a spreadsheet) to work out a percentage?

To be a percentage of the order, you could enter for the Store Pickup in the Handling charge: 10

for 10% and customize the code for the Store Pickup storepickup in the module:
/includes/modules/shipping/storepickup.php

and change the code to:

    global $cart;
    $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
                          'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_TITLE,
                          'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
                                                   'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_WAY,
                                                   'cost' => MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_COST/100 * $_SESSION['cart']->show_total())));

Wow,

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!

You are a genius and a lifesaver.

The code works perfectly, and it is a very elegant way of doing it.

I don't have the programming experience to have done it myself.

I hope this is useful for others aswell.

Again... Thank you.

One more thing, how would I amend the code to do the calculation only if the spend is over £10.

I think an IF command? But not sure how to do it.

Thanks

You could test the code with the results of the:
$_SESSION['cart']->show_total()

if ($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() > 10.00) {
    $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
                          'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_TITLE,
                          'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
                                                   'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_WAY,
                                                   'cost' => MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_COST/100 * $_SESSION['cart']->show_total())));
} else {
    $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
                          'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_TITLE,
                          'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
                                                   'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_WAY,
                                                   'cost' => MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_COST)));
}

Thanks very very much!

The code worked for orders over £10.

But for orders below £10 it would discount £10 rather than
£0 because of the ELSE expression and the -10 I put in the "shipping costs" field of the STORE PICK UP module.

So I've tweaked the ELSE part of the code got it to return 0 on the COST line.

The code now reads:

if ($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() > 10.00) {
    $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
                          'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_TITLE,
                          'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
                                                   'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_WAY,
                                                   'cost' => MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_COST/100 * $_SESSION['cart']->show_total())));
} else {
    $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
                          'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_TITLE,
                          'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
                                                   'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TEXT_WAY,
                                                   'cost' => 0)));
}

Thank you again AJEH and I hope this helps others

oh yeah ... forgot to change that ...

Thanks for the update on what worked for you ...

Just a little more help required please!

The discounting works fine but I've just found out one of the products needs to be excluded from the discount.

Can I amend the code above to check if this particular product has been added to the shopping cart then call up the total value of this products (Or if more than 1 was added, the number or total). - Could I then add the percentage back on?

An alternative way of doing this whole discount thing would have been with Discount Coupons but I'd need to be able to automatically apply the coupon in the background without the customer having to enter the code - But I can't see how to do that.

Any help is much appreciated.
