Coupon Issue

[bmalex56]

Please correct me if I am wrong but the Paypal express module does not allow the customer to pay without having a paypal account and the Paypal Standard does. I think??

I have customers who do not have a paypal account and don't want to set one up.

Anyway thanks for your help and anything that you come up with would be greatly appreciated.

You can use PayPal or Credit Card via PayPal Express

Also, I tried with just PayPal Standard and FREE SHIPPING! freeshipper and I still cannot reproduce the error ...

Are you able to use something like Beyond Compare from scootersoftware.com to see if you have any bad files on the Server?

If, as a test, you install the Check/Money Order a and try checkout if you select Check/Money Order and enter your 100% Discount Coupon, does it work?

Just installed the money order module and I get the same results if the total is $0.00. I get the right confirmation when the total is other than $0.00.

Also, I will use the paypal express module if you don't need a paypal account !! Changing it now.

It really sounds like you have a bad file or files on the server ...

The point being, you should not get the 500 server error message or any bad page ...

Try reloading the files for:
/includes/modules/checkout_whatever.php

there are a few in there ...

Are you using any kind of SEO/rewrites? If so, turn them off and see if that is the issue ...

If that still doesn't fix things, temporarily switch to the Classic Template and test your checkout ... this will rule out your templates and override files ...

Also, can you post all of your settings on the Discount Coupon for the 100%? You can mask out the discount code itself ...

Well, back to square 1!!

With the paypal express module installed I cannot see where the customer can use a credit card without logging in to paypal.

Re-installed the standard.

Also, those darn zeros seem to be the culprit in the checkout because everything works just fine until the order total equals $0.00,

The money order module is the same.

You are not reading the screen when you get to PayPal if you do no see where to make a Payment without a PayPal account ...

On the screen you should find the link for:

Don't have an account? Check out as a guest

The darn 0.00 has nothing to do with this ...

I am trying to find what is causing this issue ... I will try to do another install of Zen Cart v1.5.1 and see if there is anything different between that install and mine that I am forget about ...

Reloaded the checkout files and switched the template to the classic one. same results!!

Will take another look at the express checkout. I think that will be better for our customers!!
