Better Together Contribution Support Thread

[JeffLC]

The coupon with the issue is described in my previous post (#638). I did call it a 'deal' in that post, though, which is the correct term.

What does the second sentence of your last post mean? You surely mistyped something.

I don't think I mistyped anything (except calling the BT deal a 'coupon'). The second sentence:

The error occurred with the first (and only) customer who used the coupon.

means only one customer has used the coupon (aka deal), and the credit card charge didn't match the order total. No customers have used it since, though I used it during my testing.

If you're referring to the third sentence:

This isn't something that worked previously, but now doesn't.

I've seen many posts which say something like "everything has been working fine for several months then all of a sudden 'xxx' stopped working." In this case, the discount has never worked correctly. The issue appeared the first time someone used it. I have reproduced the problem with each of the items which are entitled to a discount and it occurs with any quantity of the discounted items.

In my testing, however, I also discovered the problem occurs with other coupons, such as one I created for free shipping. Because of this and your reply about not hearing of issues between Better Together and AIM, I don't think it is an issue with Better Together. I will move this back to the thread where I originally posted the problem.

Hello,

I'd like to ask if I can use this for a "buy 2 get 1 free" within the same category?

Thanks!

No. Better Together deals with pairs of items only.

hello swguy - can your plugin do what I have inquired about in this thread? https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....-page-(step-3)

cheers, Mike

This is just an upsell message - you don't need Better Together. You could just add the message to your checkout confirmation template.
(Personally, I would recommend putting it on checkout shipping. By the time they are at confirmation, you really want to drive them through and capture the sale, not risk it for a few additional dollars. Alternately you could put it on the checkout success page.)

Thanks for your reply swguy - in hindsight I agree that it should be lower down the process. I managed to put a similar message on the shopping cart page however I had some help in that there existed an "add message here" php for the page and in the template there is a "call that text" line (I just moved it to suit). Problem is I do not have the coding skills to create the code(s) for the php and the call to load .... unless I simply copied them and renamed them for the checkout pages? (thinking as I'm typing) Will give that a try.

cheers, Mike

You can put an Ad in the Commercial Help Wanted forum and find someone who will work with you.

A small update was just submitted - in One to Many mode 2, using identical items in a linkage was not working properly.

A client is using BT and needs to set-up a discount but wants to require three items be purchased together to get the discount. Can that be done with BT? If not, does another one of your plugins offer this?

I think I answered my own question. It's Free Gift Chooser.
