    Question Coupon for free item, not already in cart

    Hi all,

    We provide our customers with a coupon code for a free item, and would like to know how best to implement this in ASPDotNetStoreFront. We do not want to require the customer to add the item to their cart, prior to entering the coupon code.

    The free item would not need to display in the shopping cart, if that makes a difference to the ease of the solution.

    We thought there would be a way to leverage the checkout event and an existing stored procedure to add the item to the customers cart so that inventory levels are correctly decremented too.

    Any ideas are extremely gratefully received.

    Thank you!

    Rob

    Well, the only way I see here is to modify the ProcessCart on the shoppingcart.aspx.cs. Coupon validation is already out of the box, so whenever the coupon validator throws a valid flag, then you may force the ProcessCart to execute the sproc: aspdnsf_AddItemToCart to add the free item.

    Thank you for the suggestion Jao. We do not want to modify ProcessCart since it does not call AddItemToCart directly.

    Did you find any other way to add a free product using the coupon code. Please share the your suggestion.

    Hi Rita,

    Without forking out more money for the source code, there did not appear to be a solution to this issue.

    With regards,

    Rob
