Hi,
A couple of things you might add to SP3, cosmetic as far as I can see, although one is customer facing and might cause customer confusion and or a loss of confidence with the merchant.
1) When setting up a free shipping offer I notice that the forms question for a percentage displays a currency symbol.
[table width="100%"] [tr ][td colSpan=3]<H2>Settings</H2>[/td][/tr][tr ][td class=formlabel]Shipping Method[/td][td class=formfield]<select id=ctl00_MainContent_OfferEditor_ShippingMethodDropDownList name=ctl00$MainContent$OfferEditor$ShippingMethodDropDownList> <OPTION value="" selected>All</OPTION> <OPTION value=e3815553-c156-48de-ac6d-54882d0a2116>Europe (excluding UK)</OPTION> <OPTION value=ebb84087-b791-47f0-93b1-ac3c502a11aa>Rest of the World</OPTION> <OPTION value=42a4b153-0b50-4348-b158-9e4819fc23d4>UK & Ireland 1st Class</OPTION> <OPTION value=489dedf4-5ad7-4df0-868a-6ce78b25a89e>USA & Canada Shipping</OPTION></SELECT>[/td][/tr][tr ][td class=formlabel]By[/td][td class=formfield]<input id=ctl00_MainContent_OfferEditor_AmountTextBox style="WIDTH: 39px" value=£0.00 name=ctl00$MainContent$OfferEditor$AmountTextBox><SPAN id=ctl00_MainContent_OfferEditor_RequiredFieldValidator1 style="VISIBILITY: hidden; COLOR: red" isvalid="true" initialvalue errormessage="You must enter an amount or percent." controltovalidate="ctl00_MainContent_OfferEditor_AmountTextBox">* <SPAN id=ctl00_MainContent_OfferEditor_AmountCustomValidator style="VISIBILITY: hidden; COLOR: red" isvalid="true" errormessage="Amount or percent is not in the correct format." controltovalidate="ctl00_MainContent_OfferEditor_AmountTextBox">* <select id=ctl00_MainContent_OfferEditor_OfferAmountTypeDropDownList name=ctl00$MainContent$OfferEditor$OfferAmountTypeDropDownList> <OPTION value=Percent selected>Percent</OPTION> <OPTION value=Amount>Amount</OPTION></SELECT>[/td][/tr][/table]
2) When we receive an new order email to the admin it displays this in the totals section:-
[table cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=3 border=0][tr ][td vAlign=top align=left]SubTotal:[/td][td vAlign=top align=right]£54.00 [/td][/tr][tr ][td vAlign=top align=left]Discounts:[/td][td vAlign=top align=right]£0.00 [/td][/tr][tr ][td vAlign=top align=left]Tax: [/td][td vAlign=top align=right]£0.00 [/td][/tr][tr ][td vAlign=top align=left]Shipping:[/td][td vAlign=top align=right]£3.50 [/td][/tr][tr ][td vAlign=top align=left]Handling: [/td][td vAlign=top align=right]£0.00 [/td][/tr][tr ][td vAlign=top align=left]Grand Total: [/td][td vAlign=top align=right]£54.00 [/td][/tr][/table]
Here we have an offer in place that gives free shipping. Whilst it doesnt use the shipping value in the totals as its been discounted it does display £3.50. I'm not sure if the customer sees that as well! If they did not take the time to see it doesn't add up it does look bad. However, I notice that the display on the admin order shows it correctly with £3.50 with strikeout. (We used the shipping offer not the free shipping offer since we only wish to apply it to the UK).
I see that since its hmtl is has this in the source:-
<span class="MarkDownPrice">£3.50</span><br />£0.00</span></td>
Could it be that the html emails don't have the css file (or the resulting browser such as outlook, doesn't support it?)
Either way the 'correct' way as I see it is to display the totals with £3.50 shipping and the offer as -£3.50 shipping applied.
A final order total might look like this?
SubTotal: £54.00 Discounts: £0.00 Tax: £0.00 Shipping: £3.50
(Offer) Free UK Shipping: -£3.50 Handling: £0.00 Grand Total: £54.00
This also makes sense that an offer is treated as an item and displayed within the order to show it has been received?
Am I barking up the wrong tree or is this layout customisable like I've shown above?
Anthony
