Discount Codes with Admin Section ?

Submitted by paddyman on Tue, 2009-06-09 19:37 in

Hi David,

Not too sure if this is beyond the scope of Price Tapestry or your future development plans but I'll ask the question anyway :)

I have implemented the discount code mod http://www.pricetapestry.com/node/944 thus creating a directory containing files that have the same name as the product. This works great but I have seen some other Price Comparison sites which deduct the discount from the final price ({link saved} being an example).

How hard would it be to do something like this ?

Hi Adrian,

It can be done, but can start to get rather complex as it would probably then be necessary to re-order to the price comparison table taking the discount codes into account. I'll look into it for you as I have worked on something similar before and it may be possible to create a simple patch to support this...

Cheers,
David.

Hi David,

Just wondering if you have had a chance to think any more on how this could be done.

Many thanks

Hi David,

Sorry to bother you again. Just wondering if this feature is something you are planning to develop for price tapestry or look into in the future ? Would be a great addition, as I'm seeing it on more and more price comparison sites.

Thanks

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

It's on the list, but no timescale as yet i'm afraid. The main problem is that there is no standard format for providing voucher / discount information etc. and then whether or not discounts apply to all products from that merchant....

Cheers,
David.
