Coupon apply?

[ryanb4614]

Hello, I have been reading many forums about the coupons, I cant seem to find any mod that you can apply the coupon and press an apply button before you submit the payment... Thank you!

Not sure what you mean here...

Coupons are redeemed during checkout. The customer enters the coupon code in an input field during stage 2 of checkout, and if the coupon is "valid", the value of the coupon is discounted from the sub-total.

I have the same problem and I'm searching for a solution.

Having inherited this site, I'm not sure if our page is standard or not, but on the checkout payment default page, our coupon input is there right above the payment options. I'd like to be able to have a button that would apply the discount before the customer needs to fill in their cc info.

You can hit return on this page before the cc info is entered and it will apply the discount but it also triggers the no cc info warning.

If I find anything out, I'll make sure to post something here.

What I mean is.. during checkout when the customer puts in the coupon code, be able to click a apply button before they move to the next step. to make sure that it works

anyone find anything yet?

This worked for me, because I had more than one payment method, but it may not work if you have only ONE payment method active.

Insert a label (piece of text) inside the coupon section that says:

"If you wish to see the discount reflected in your total BEFORE you select a payment method, simply type in the discount code and press your keyboard [ENTER] key"

The action of hitting the [Enter] key will force coupon validation, but as no payment option has been selected by the customer, it will show the Order Totals (and the value of a valid coupon, but also display the payment options.

Again, it will probably work only if you have more than one payment option. If you have only one payment option, this will be the default option, so the action of hitting [Enter] will take you to stage 3 of checkout anyway.

Yes, I had considered that option but was hoping for a more sophisticated solution that doesn't trigger the payment warning. I've gone over this with another fellow that's more versed in php than I but neither of us has found a groovier solution yet. I'm thinking I need to look somewhere outside of the Zen Cart keyword search.

I am also looking for it

is amazing that such thing is not implemented yet.

I cant quite find the correct way of making an "apply button"..

did u find the solution?

[ryanb4614]

has anyone found an answer to this yet?

I was able to find about 13 ways not to do it. I attempted to use a layered CSS/AJAX combo. Worked in FF not IE. I think that the solution needs AJAX because a refresh of the page would confuse shoppers.

I was more looking of a way to Fake the display more then get the real number to update. That way the core code does not need to be altered.

Does anybody know any AJAX. My team is busy, but if we find a solution I will post it.
