Better Together for Zen Cart - the Better Together World
Better Together permits shopowners to offer the following types of discounts in Zen Cart:
- Buy item X, get item Y at a discount
- Buy item X, get an item from category A at a discount
- Buy an item from category A, get an item from category B at a discount
- Buy an item from category A, get item X at a discount
Discounts may be specified as percentages of the latter item's price or as absolute values in the currency your cart uses.
I wrote several other pieces of software to go with Better Together for Zen Cart. Here they all are.
