Hide Price in Shipping Cart

[Shentonbooks]

Any helpful hints please?

I am trying to work out the best way to suppress the column of Price information which appears in the Shopping Cart section of the receipt available to a customer when they place their order

The problem I have is the customer is getting two columns of price/cost information displayed which are the same, before the form moves on to sub total etc

I do not use Coupons, Customer accounts or Discounts

I can't spot anything simple in Deign or Bussiness settings to switch on or off?

So I guess I need to put some HTML <-- --> around a bit of the coding in the Actthink its somewhere in Act-Order04 template to suppress the PRice heading and the Price data which is generated in the order line?

There should be a column for the unit price (price each) of the product, and a column for the 'extended price' (the unit price x the quantity) - if quantity is one these will be the same.

Only the extended price column should show a sub-total etc.

If that is not what you have, then we would need a link to the site to work out what is happening and help you put it right.

Hide Price columns in Cart

Thanks for your interest

My site is http://www.shentonbooks.com

You'll see that the cart does display in the Order section each of the columns for in my case

Ref Description Quantity Price Cost

In the far right hand Cost column the Sub Total, Shipping and Total text and data appears OK. So all the raw data code seems to be working OK out of the box as it were.

The problems I am trying to overcome are;

(a) Nearly every one of my customers only ever orders a quantity of one. So including the Price column of data appears on screen as just a straight duplicate of the cost

(b) This looks especially clumsy as I display my prices in £ and euros on the product pages; This then cascades through into a greater volume of text appearing in the Price and Cost fields eg GBP100.00 / EUR147.00

I had been approaching the problem by trying to solve problem (a) by suppressing the Price Column which cascades through various templates ie Order 4 and email templates as part of Cart

You'll see at present I have deleted the column heading Price by just setting the value to blank text in Design Optons Text

I suppose If I knew instead how to solve problem (b) by suppressing the Euros data in the cart details then that would go a long way to making the screens/customer print outs look better. All transactions are conducted in Sterling: (Euros is provided as a guide to customers)

I then just need to find the template to format the alignments to left or center of each column to tidy up something in the default settings which seems to stop column content being aligned the same as the column header

Thanks in anticipation of ideas/help

Hi there

The template you need to edit is called Act_ShoppingCartXML.html. You should be able to see all the code for the 'Price' column in there.

Look for the variables NETQUOTEVAR:PRICECAPTION and also NETQUOTEVAR:PRICE and experiment with commenting out the code in there - or just
