Please Please can some one give us the coding to make the gift / discount vouchers part of the checkout process instead of leaving it in the cart.
My customers just aren't seeing it, even redirecting them isn't working.
Thanks
Ron

Hi,
I'm also looking for this solution.
I've found that a gift voucher or a coupon can ONLY be added
after you've bought successfully a gift voucher and continue the
check out process.
Otherwise there is no place for a gift voucher or coupon adding
in the normal check out process of v1.5x, at least I couldn't find
from the demo v1.5.
Why? It's funny.

I placed it in the welcome message and the description. I think it should probaly be in the checkout as well. Maybe the checkout process should start with view cart so they can apply the coupons. It is confusing a lot of people.ronnieb wrote:Please Please can some one give us the coding to make the gift / discount vouchers part of the checkout process instead of leaving it in the cart.

well the problem is that the checkout button from the top shopping cart goes to the checkout instead of the shopping cart page and the coupon is on the shopping cart page. But it's there weather or not you've purchased a voucher.daniel2008 wrote:Hi,

I can't understand the reasoning from admin "that there isn't room for it in the checkout page"
its in the checkout page of 1.4 so whats the difference.
This is the reason Im not using 1.5 and sticking with 1.4, I rely heavily on discount coupons

well that's not the only reason. payment methods like paypal express and google checkout go from the shopping cart page and skip the checkout procedure all together how would you allow those people to use a discount code? No matter where you put it someone is not going to like it. We know it's been in pretty much every position possible. The biggest problem is that in 1.5 Daniel made the checkout button skip the cart.pierrelejohn wrote:I can't understand the reasoning from admin "that there isn't room for it in the checkout page"

I use neither of those payment providors, it a shame that its not an option to either have it on the cart or the checkout, or even simpler - add it to both, then if customers use one or the other - EVERYONE can find it !!
For the coupon fix:-
Could you not just change the Checkout link to actually just take people to the Cart page?
It involves changing on line of code in the header file
catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/header.tpl around line 107
to
Basically the second last checkout changed to cart
Just a though....

Michael

Hi all,
I have made the change to my header.tpl as described. My only thought now is the Checkout button on what I can only describe as the mini cart still points directly to checkout instead of the shopping cart. Does anyone know how to change this? I am not sure.
Thank you,
Jeremy.

There is a free vQmod in the vQmods section of the Free Contributions that warns users if they click the Header checkout link.
Just going to update it so it applies to the MiniCart Drop down as well.

download the vqmod files anyway and look at their contents

I added a message on the Checkout page with a link to the Shopping Cart page :
http://www.flowershopputney.co.uk/index ... t/checkout
Its a bit crude but at least it gives people who have a coupon or voucher code a chance to redeem it and if not they can just continue with the checkout process!
Let me know if you have a better way of doing this please, I'd be quite happy to pay for an extension etc as usual.
Cheers
Warren

Hi Warren, I would like to do the same as you, very new to all this, which file did you edit and what code did you add in.Rabbitdigital wrote:I added a message on the Checkout page with a link to the Shopping Cart page :

I have added a message and link at the top of the checkout page prompting anyone with a voucher on a clients site:
If you have a discount or gift voucher please redeem it by going to the Shopping Cart and entering your code - click here
You can see it here:
http://www.dorchestersaddlery.co.uk/ind ... t/checkout
FYI - I did this by going to modules --> welcome
Then I added new module (module2) and positioned it [Content Top] on the [Checkout] page using the drop downs.

Rgds,
Just wanted to add my voice to the need for coupon codes at checkout. It's standard on most every site that supports coupons. This being the case, people are going to be confused until it's there in OC.
Thanks to everyone who's supplying patches in the mean time.
