Alternative pricing 
Modified By AliCommerce  on 9/1/2008 2:21:40 PM)

Does your product allow:

1) Construct a "buy now" link that could be placed on any web site? 

    e.g., http..../buy_now.asp?prodid=xxxxx&sku=yyy&qty=zzz

2) Can you provide a method to offer alternative pricing for an offering?

3) Is it possible to branch to another module wihin your product listing and return via links?

   e.g., on a product page where "buy now" and "add to cart" exist naturally, can a new function be added and integrate with the shopping cart for possible alternative pricing?

4) Is it possible to issue a unique temporary offer code or discount code per customer per product with "active coupon" dates?

5) Can products be managed via SQL directly?  e.g,. update/insert statements from SQL

Thank you in advance!

1) is not supported

I don't quite understand 2)

3) It's doable, but needs customization

4) is supported out of box.

5) we have import/export tool in professional edition or above, so you can bulk update/insert products easily.

Re: Alternative pricing 

Regarding #3..

Does your product have variable that I can track or pass to other dnn modules?  Or can I construct a link on the product page that would send me to another module, passing parameters such as SKU or Product name, etc?

e.g. : Buy Now     Add to Cart     special link (where this link passes parameters to another module that descrbes the product)

Thank in advance

Joe

Re: Alternative pricing 

Frank,

The way I would interpret item #2 is as follows:  Does the shopping cart support wholesale selling?  If someone logs into the portal and is a whole seller can they see the products wholesale prices?

In order to do this, the shopping cart needs to be able to support buying products based on the "Security Role" that the person is logged in as.

How difficult would it be to add this type of functionality if it does not already exist?

Thanks!

Re: Alternative pricing 

After looking at the module in my development environment, how do I configure the products to show different pricing based on who is logged in?  I see that we have a "Retail Price",  "Store Price" and "Store Cost" for every item...but I am not quite sure how to show a whole sell pricing based on who is logged in at the time.

Your knoweledge would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Alternative pricing 

Hi Frank,

You've actually answered and confirmed the original question #1 which is great.

I'm still trying to get confirmation that I can insert, by modifying your product list and product detailed templates, my own link or button that will allow the user to navigate away from the AliCommerce environment AND take product information along.  If I can get that confirmed today, I will be purchasing the enterprise product today.  Using your PID example, look below to see what I'm asking(see "compare products" button).  Thank you and I anxiously await your reply.

 
SKU: ASC002
 
 
Retail Price: $299.00
Your Price: $199.00
You Save: $100.00 (33 %)
Quantity:

 

 

Compare Products

 

 

The "button" in this case is arbitrary.  The code behind would be something like http://...?SKU=<alicommerce.sku>&PID=<alicommerce.pid>&etc...

Maximum 150 products.

A complete feature list can be found on features page.

A quick start guide can be downloaded from downloads page.

Differences between this and other editions can be found in FAQs section.

30 days free email and priority support included.

Lifetime community forums support included.

100% satisfaction guaranteed or 30-day money back.
