admin buyer buyers cart codes discount help issue item items order ordered orders page pages pay price product quantity seller settings shipping

Help please

we want to enable our customers to place multiple items in the cart and pay only 1 shipping fee - no problem we add a handling fee in cart preferences

But, if they want to pick up, we do not want to charge this fee - we thought of creating an item called "pick up" with a negative price to offset the handling fee - but the cart will not allow us to set up a negative price - we cannot set up a product discount code as it will multiply the product discount by the # of items purchased and br greater than the handling fee

Hello Denis,

Why not create a coupon code: "PICKUP" and discount 100% of the cart's shipping charges?

Note on your shopping pages that when someone wants to pickup the product as opposed to having it shipped to enter "PICKUP" in the discount code field.

that will not work - if a customer orders 2 items with a shipping charge of $59 each item and wants the item shipped and not picked up the cart will charge him $118 not the fixed fee of $59 regardless of # of items ordered

- I also want to stay away from discount codes (If the cart has a space for a discount code consumers believe there is a code out there somewhere that will save them money - when they cant find a code, they think they are not getting a "deal")

If you want to charge a flat $59 shipping for all orders regardless of quantity, just go into Seller Admin > Cart Shipping Settings, delete your zipcode (that disables USPS rates), set your Handling charge to $59 and all other rate/weight/cost figures to 0.00. That will add the $59 charge once to each whole order regardless of quantity.

To allow for the PICKUP discount without tempting other buyers to seek a discount that isn't there, you can change the text label of to the discount code field in the cart -- just add these lines to your View Cart code on each page, just before the "// -->" line:

function EJEJC_config() {
EJEJC_POSTCALL=true;
}

function EJEJC_shown() {
jQuery("#dscnt_cd").attr("innerHTML",
"For local pickup,<br>type PICKUP here:");
}

If you already have EJEJC_config() {} in your code, just add lines from the above example which are not already in your code.

Like the fix to the cart wording on the text label

But - How does this address the issue of multiple purchases?

If a buyer buys 2 items, each with a pickup discount code of $59 - this will refund $118 in the cart - not $59 My understanding is that discount codes are product specific - not cart specific?

Use the cart discount instead of item discounts via Seller Admin > Edit E-Junkie Cart Discount Settings.

If you create a discount code there discounting 100% of shipping when the "PICKUP" code is entered it will discount all the shipping charges only.

Thanks - will give this a try at the weekend

Works great!

final request

Is there a way to leave the words pickup in the discount code field after the customer has pressed update and the screen refreshes

Thx for all the help

Denis

Any valid discount code entered in the cart would appear listed below the item-contents of the cart (along with an "x" the buyer could click to remove that discount), as it is possible to combine multiple discount codes, so we have no way to make a code persist inside the Discount Code field itself.
