Shopping-Cart Integration (Important)

4 years ago submited by Julian Wolf
Here is a Feedback, which is very important for me. I can live without that, but it would make much (!) more sense to change it. ;-)

Usually PAP and PMP track the amount of the order by the "order total". This is before shipping and before Cuppons.

I use lots of Cuppons to get customers in my shops. Especially the download-products I raise the prices and then I give out masses of Cupponts for a "free download" to users. This produces commissions, even If I don´t get any money.

So I would prefear to have the commisions calculated from the "amount to pay", not from the "order total". Imgagine one more thing:

A user buys a cupon with a value of 10 Euros. This are 10 Euros in the "order total", so commissions for 10 Euros.

Now he orderes a product for 10 Euros, pays with this cupon. This brings him another commission. If he realizes that, he could simply order another cupon.

He could order one cupon after the other, and always buy the cupon with the before bought cupon. Every time he would get a commission.

Huh ... good Idea. I should do that. Here are enough affiliate-programs. ;-)

However ... a simple solution. Just changing th ebase on which commissions are calculated. Could you do that please?

Best wishes, Ju lian!

Hello,

this is related more to shopping cart, PAP processes any value you'll pass to the TotalCost parameter.

I made recently small change to ZenCart integration code, so that it will ignore coupons and siscounts in the total price, the same should be made for any other shopping cart.

Once again, this should eb made on the part of shopping cart integration, not in PAP.

regards,

Mark
