Free Items Issue
Hello,
I have an issue that I am trying to resolve with our Commerce Server 2007 site and was hoping I could get some guidance. We would like to be able to add free items to our shopping cart, but would like to avoid having to add a new discount in Marketing Manager per product with free items since there are thousands of products in our catalog that fit this criterion. This could make prioritizing discounts painful with such a large number.
Some additional shopping cart logic was added by one of our developers to use the product relationships table for free items, search the table when a product is added to the cart, and add any associated free items to the cart as well. The problem with this is that the items get added to the cart, but at their listed price, not free.
Since we have an external order management system that feeds us products via xml, we like the idea of using the relationships table in this way since our import process does it automatically. Is there a way to tie in a discount with the product relationships table, so it will add in 1 of each of the items with the relationship name "Free" to the cart at 0 price?
Thanks,
Jason
