Better Together Contribution Support Thread

Hi there,
Just read the posts and have used my "search tool" in Chrome, but I couldn't see an answer.

Can this be used, or altered to allow for previous orders.

The situation:
My customers have purchased (A) over a 2yr period. We are now upgrading the product to version (B), we want our existing customers (A) to be able to purchase (B) at a discounted price.
A = $20
B = $30
Customers of (A) need only pay $10 for (B)

We can do a work around, mail out to the customers a coupon code (run an SQL Report then mail merge) with a discount, however it runs the risk of abuse, even with safeguards in place (limited number, limited use etc).

However I like this module and have use of it down the track and over the next few months we will be doing this for a number of our products.

Thank you.

No, it doesn't take into account historical purchases, only the current purchase.

Thanks Scott,
Is there a way to make a work around, or insert some code to allow it to check for historical purchases?

Cheers :)

It's software. You can make it do whatever you'd like. :)

Ok, I have products that are linked into multiple different categories, is there a way to have a product have several different Better Together options?

Live situation:
* I have a bar of soap that is in "Bar Soap", "Porefection", and "Friday Cyber Week Sale" categories
* because it's in the category "bar soap", I want a cross sell to a product (an accessory that should be a cross sell for ALL bar soaps)
* because it's in the "Porefection" category, I want to cross sell all products in that category with all other products in that category. The other items in this category are NOT bar soap.
* on Friday, I what everything in the "Porefection" category to be Buy one Get one half price. BUT ALSO, have the soap keep the cross sell to the accessory.

Some of my products have up to 6 linked categories!!!!

Thanks!

Better Together uses the master categories id field in the products table; it doesn't know about linked categories.

I would like to do the following:
Buy product A and get $5 off on 1 of product B
Buy product A and get $10 off on 2 of product B
If you wish to buy more of Product B, you can but at the normal price

Is this possible with the current module and if so what must my function setup look like?

Currently my function setup looks as follows:
$this->add_prod_to_prod(89, 91, '$', 10);

you cannot do this with Better Together. You can do:

Buy product A and get $5 off on 1 of product B

or

Buy product A and get $5 off on any number of product B (using the one-to-many behavior).

That's all.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned.. but it seems that after editing the order manually (adding new products) the discount adds to the total amount instead of being deducted.

I saw the second but its not going to suit what I have in mind.
