With Better Together, you'd have to associate every item with every other item.

I'm using Zen Cart version 1.3.8

I installed the Better Together add on and I would like to offer if the customer buys $100.00 worth of Gift Certificates, they will get a FREE $20.00 gift certificate.

Is there a way to do this through Better Together?

My site is:

Better Together is "Buy A, get B at a discount."

"Spend $X in category A, get B at a discount" is a different problem.

I have am testing this mod for a client and looking to meet their needs for a Buy 2 items at the regular price and get the third item for free.

I see in the ot_better_together.php in the modules\order_total

that is is capable of computing a 2 for 1 for a product and its capable of computing a 2 for 1 for products in an entire category.

What I am looking for is to have it compute for a 3 for 1 in both.

I have been able to effect some changes but not the right discount calculations needed at step 2 of the checkout process.

Is there any one that help guide me to where I can make the necessary changes or how it would be done.

Thanks!

Thanks so much for making this mod!! Just installed it on a ZC v1.3.9b and ran into a couple issues.

1) I added code where if a customer buys a certain product they can get 50% off a handful of others (each one was in a separate line of code). It worked perfect on the store pages, but upon checkout the discount was only showing for the first of the 50% items listed in the code. So if you had some of the others that were allowed the 50%, their discounts weren't being added to the total discounted. I got around this my just offering a single 50% item, but would like the option to do more.

2) Added the code to display the "Items you might also be interested in" at the bottom of some of the product pages. Only problem is the product thumbs stack vertically, not in a 3x horizontal grid.

Any suggestions for fixing these 2 issues? Again, thanks for the awesome mod.

Question 1: see PM.
Question 2: The cross sell display uses the columnar display template; perhaps you have customized that?

Wow that was the fastest response I've ever gotten on a forum.

I can't remember about the template you mentioned, I did mod some CSS for colors at one point. Can you point me to where the columnar display template is located?

Thank you very much for creating this awesome module!

How would I go about implementing the following scenario?

Say I sell shirts and pants. Shirts belong to category one and pants belong to category two. If I enter the following, customers receive $1 off every shirt when they purchase a pair of pants:

$this->add_cat_to_cat(2,1,"$", 1);

Is there any way to limit the amount of discounts? I want customers to only receive $1 off, regardless if they purchase one shirt and one pair of pants or 100 shirts and 100 pair of pants.

I hope that makes sense. Thank you in advance for any help.

Limits like this are not built in to Better Together. See PM for other ideas.
