    Upsell during checkout??

    Hi,

    Can anybody tell me if it is possible within standard v6 to ask a customer if they would like to buy another item during checkout. This may be simply text with a tick box.

    My idea is, well its an old idea, that once someone has decided to buy something to offer another product - probably discounted, but during the checkout process.

    I use world pay to process online orders

    Any feedback greatly appreciated - thanks for reading

    Regards,

    In fact, how about upsell/crossell in the catalogue?

    We'd love to see this in a future release (soon). It would stop us from moving to something more datadriven like OSC on our next store rewrite.

      We are exploring a new feature for the next release whereby if you buy a certain amount of a certain type of product, you can qualify for receiving another product free. It will basically be an extension of the discounting introduced in 6.1.

      With regards to the initial question, take a look at this thread and see if it gives you any ideas.

        Thanks Chris, but the link wouldnt let me view it - said I didnt have authority etc. (not an error). Please klet me know how to view it or what it is

        As far as qualifying for a free gift - thats ok, but the real goal of Actinic customers is to sell - & an upsell ismore desirable

        In the meantime if anybody else has any ideas with regrad to offering a product midway through the order process or any upsell ideas I'd really appreciate them.

          I am sure you could use the prompt on the confirm page to produce a link that says something like "This product may also interest you".

          Too busy to try it out but it may work

            Sorry about that - the thread was in Actinic Developers.

            Here is the text.....


            The only thing I can think of is having a JavaScript expression that acts on the 'Items' value in the shopping cart summary and displays a message accordingly.

            This would act on all products though rather than a distinct sub-set.

            I have knocked up a very quick and dirty sample code (based on the stock level example in the AUG) which does this:

            Put this into the <HEAD> section of your Act_Primary.html template below any other JavaScript you have in there...

            <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
            function FreeGift(pItem)
            <!--
            {
            var strIDs = ''
            {
            if (pItem >= 20)
            {
            strIDs = 'You have qualified for a free gift!'
            }
            else
            {
            strIDs = ''
            }
            }
            return strIDs
            }
            //-->
            </script>

            Insert this code where you want the message to appear....

            <script language="Javascript">
            document.write(FreeGift(getCartItem(3)))
            </script>

              thanks Chris - a bit beyond my skills & not quite what I'm after - but thanks all the same

              Let me know if anything along these lines pops up

              Or do you have any ideas of how to increase sales using the software?

              thanks

                Hi there,
                I'm just trying out this bit of script, just wondered if and how you would modify it to look at the cart value rather than number of items added to cart.

                Any help appreciated.

                  I'm afraid not.

                  If you use getCartItem(1) instead of getCartItem(3) then you will include an HTML-encoded price into the page - but I do not have the javascript expertise to de-code this into something that could be acted on with a JavaScript formula.

                  Perhaps someone else will be able to comment.

                    <-- Raises hand

                    We have the technology, we can re-encode it

                    Ok, Here is a modified version of the code from Chris to check for a certain order value...
                    Code:
                    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript"> 
function FreeGift(num) 
<!-- 
	{ 

	var priceLevel = '50.99' // This is the price to qualify
	var strIDs = ''

	// Process the recieved number into a true number

	num = num.toString().replace(/\£|\,/g,'');
	num = num.replace("&amp;#163;","");  // Strip £ sign
	num = num.replace("&amp;#44;","");   // Strip commas
	num = num.replace("&amp;#46;",".");   // Replaces html periods with true periods

 
	{ 
	if (num >= 20) 
	{ 
		strIDs = 'You have qualified for a free gift!' 
	} 
	else 
	{ 
		strIDs = '' 
	} 
	} 
return strIDs 
} 
//--> 
</script>
                    To use this you can include
                    Code:
                    <script language="Javascript"> 
document.write(FreeGift(getCartItem(1))) 
</script>
                    Wherever you want the message to be displayed.

                    I haven't had a chance to test it so let me know if it doesn't work...

                      Pretty good.

                      But shouldn't

                      if (num >= 20)

                      read

                      if (num >= priceLevel)

                      or something?

                        Chris, that's exactly right - I guess thats' what happens when you re-use code and forget you've added variables! I can't edit the post anymore so if you want to change it i'd appreciate it

                          Hi Guys,
                          Have given the revised code a try and unfortunately it comes up with an error.

                          Placed the scripts in place of the originals (made the correction as above also).

                          Just thought I should let you know

                          All the best

                          Simon

                            I have just tested it myself and it was ok. Can you ensure that you have included actinicextras.js and the script from above with the function defined in within your <head> tags.

                              Hi there,
                              I have done the rest but please could you explain what you mean by "Can you ensure that you have included actinicextras.js"

                              That file is in use but I havent done anything to it, should I?

                              Thanks
