Hey guys,
We have a promotion going on where if a customer buys 5 of one product they will get $200 of another product. Thats is pretty easy to set up in the admin, but I'm having trouble trying to figure out the best workflow for the customer on the site. The current workflow would be this:
Customer clicks on either product.
They see the promotion graphic and click on it which opens up a custom page with the promotion details.
The promotion details shows both products with links.
The customer clicks on the first product. The first product has options to choose form (bvc5grid).
The customer puts in an quantity of 5 for the option and adds the product to the cart (we do not direct the customer to the cart).
The customer clicks on the promotion again to view the details (remember, we have the promotion graphic on both products).
The customer clicks on the second product.
The customer adds the second product to the cart.
The customer clicks on the shopping cart to view their cart.
Finally they see their savings.
This seems like a lot of steps for the customer to have to navigate through. My first thought was to create a link that utilizes the multi add to cart capability, however, you can not specify quantities. If it the multi add to cart function allowed differnt SKU amounts, I could create one link on the product page or promotion details that might say "YES! I would like to take advantage of this offer!" which sends the customer to the cart with the complete "package".
Does anyone have any other thoughts? Essentially, I just need to be able to package products together and have different SKU amounts for each product in that package. The offer already exists in the admin.
Bryan

See the thread below and look at my last example. In fact, you even replied to that thread. :) http://www.bvcommerce.co...stom-Page.aspx#post25226Edited by user Wednesday, January 23, 2013 3:21:50 PM(UTC)

My apologies. I tried everything except below. That thread is a good resource! I always forget about the quickadd and multi links and how to use them properly. Quote:
/Cart.aspx?multi=PRODUCT_SKU1:QTY1;PRODUCT_SKU2:QTY2;PRODUCT_SKU3:QTY3
I'm still use to having to search google with the old merchant tribe forums I couldnt find it. Edited by user Wednesday, January 23, 2013 3:29:26 PM(UTC)

Well I played around with it and it looks like the multi= link does not work with variants / choices, but the quickaddsku= link does work with variants / choices. Im trying to get the SKU 5243-P080010 from http://www.medsupplier.c...gent-strips-P080012.aspx with a quantity of 5 and the SKU http://www.medsupplier.c...ne-analyzer-P080000.aspx with a qunatity of one to be added to the cart from 1 link. I tried /cart.aspx?multi=5243-P080010:5;5243-P080000:1 but it does not work. Edited by user Wednesday, January 23, 2013 5:46:17 PM(UTC)

It looks like a bug, Bryan. Here's the fix: around line 88 change: Code:
Dim p As Catalog.Product = Catalog.InternalProduct.FindBySku(newsku)
to: Code:
Dim p As Catalog.Product = Catalog.InternalProduct.FindBySkuAll(newsku) ' <DEVELISYS/> Bug fix: include child products
Once you've implemented can you confirm that this resolved the issue? If so we will roll this into the 2013 release. Thanks! |
