RealCart U Course: Quantity Discounts based on total items purchased

<<prev | 1 | 2 | next>>

Quantity Discounts based on total items purchased - Course Introduction

The purpose of this course is to teach you how to get RealCart to give your shopper a discount based on the total number of items in their shopping cart. It does not matter that the items are different items. Just as long as there are at least the minimum number required for the discount (or more). This involves modifying your pay.html template file, adding a snippit file to your Current Theme Folder and rebuilding the checkout page and republishing. The snippit we will be working with is called jsqtydiscount.snp and we will show you how to configure it and add it to your current theme folder.

We recommend cloning the correct pay.html template file to your current theme folder prior to making any modifications to it.

Not sure which “pay” template to clone?

Not sure which “pay” template to clone? Here’s how to find out. Go to your checkout page either on-line or by viewing it in RealCart on your local PC. Right click somewhere in the whitespace of the checkout page and click view source. If you are viewing the source code of the right page it will look something like this:

<html><head><title>My Shop ... </title> <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="RealCart ... >  

Notice the line that starts with C:\ (or other hard drive on which you installed RealCart). This is the line just below the line that reads <!-- RealCart Common File. This line shows the complete path name to the template file RealCart is currently using to create your pay.html page. This is the file we are going to modify first. After cloning this template to your current theme folder you will need to open it in a text editor. We recommend EditPad but you can use Windows notepad if you prefer.
