Guest Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Does any one know of a contrib that shows impulse items/promotional items during checkout. For instance I sell phone covers and want to pop up phone car chargers for an impulse add on. I did look in contributions but there was only 1 I could find and it was very old and never tested live. I don't know php very well so that's not a good idea for me to go there (especially after my last fiasco). Any input appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) Hi Lillian, it's "Mighty Mouse" again... ;) In this post it shows you how to make a popup that lasts for only 3 seconds (you can adjust that) then closes itself. It's also programmed to show up only once after the person logs in. That can be changed. And we could add code to make it not popup if certain things were already in the shopping cart. Anyway, using that as a base maybe you could expand that to suit your purposes? :unsure: I'm no marketing expert, but I think tacking something else into the checkout process isn't a good idea. If I was going to add something like that to a site I'd put it in /catalog/shopping_cart.php Although, all the items found around the checkout register at Walmart and your favorite grocery store are "impulse" items so maybe I'm full of crap. :blush: Edited April 5, 2009 by germ Quote If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

I'll take a look at this. It should be interesting if I try to actually code something. I can read the code, install a contribution, maybe even a one word tweak, but haven't done any significant PHP. I think your right about shopping cart vs. checkout. Let's look at your Walmart theory. If I'm standing in line waiting for a checkout clerk with my shopping cart :blink: , I might get some impulse items because I'm waiting. But using Checkout would tantamount to Walmart saying "that will be 85.50. Want a bag of MM's". See simple minds, need simple solutions! :lol: Thanks again. Pee Ess: It might take awhile for me to get to this, but I will post the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
