Add to cart from external link + Coupon code

[gmcross]

Hi

I give customers the option to "add to cart" from anywhere with a quick link using the:
"http://your.URL/cgi-bin/ca000001.pl?SID=3&PAGE=PRODUCT&Q_7=5" method (Article CD352) - and this seems to work fine.

However, is there a way of adding to this code so that a pre-defined Coupon Code can be automatically recorded as well?

Apparently you can add a coupon by clicking:

http://your.URL/cgi-bin/rs000001.pl?...COUPONCODEHERE

where rs000001.pl is the referrer script. If you were to point the referrer to a special Actinic page set up so that when it lands it sets the tracking cookie and then does a redirect to

http://your.URL/cgi-bin/ca000001.pl?...=PRODUCT&Q_7=5

it would both add the coupon and add to cart.

You would do the redirect perhaps by creating a product with no text, just a <meta http-equiv redirect tag in the product description, so it gets redirected on loading.

A bit of a long winded fix but perhaps worth a try.
