Promotional Pages for Discounts

A promotional page is just a single page in your cart that shows off a specific discounting module you are using. It also gives you a venue to describe any limitations or restrictions which you might impose on the discount.

Each of the individual promotional pages is a separate, free download. Included in each page is example code for including a link to the page in the Categories sidebox. An integrated page showing all discounts also exists, and may be purchased for $30. Note that the integrated page uses the earlier style of display for all discounts, without images.

Upgrade - Show "Add both to Cart" button on Better Together Promotional Page!

The Better Together promotional page has an optional feature called "Add both to Cart," which allows both items in a Better Together linkage to be added to the cart in a single click. Both items must be products without attributes. See Better Together Promotional Page with Add both to Cart for details.

Upgrade - All Discounts on One Page!

You can now show all your discounts on one page using the Integrated Promotional Page. Here's what it looks like.

This shows discounts computed by Quantity Discounts, Better Together, Combination Discounts, Big Spender and Big Chooser all one one page. Note that the Integrated Promotional Page does not display images.

I charge a fee of $30 for the Integrated Promotional Page.

Installation Instructions:

  1. Back up everything! Try this in a test environment prior to installing it on a live shop.
  2. Copy the contents of the unzipped folder to the root directory of your shop.
    The names of these files reflect a template name of "custom." If you are using a different template name, please change file paths using "custom" to use your template name instead. Note that if you have already modified
    ./includes/templates/custom/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php
    
    you will need to merge the changes to this file.


FAQ

Q: I'd like to edit the promotional page in the Define Pages Editor, but it doesn't work. How do I do this?
A: Copy the file
includes/languages/english/html_includes/custom/define_<page-name>.php
to the parent directory
includes/languages/english/html_includes/
Then the Define Pages editor will let you edit the one in "custom."
