How to manually add an order for a member

2011-09-22T18:17:41Z

I need some way of adding a purchase to a members account manually without them actually going through the checkout and payment process. Is this possible, I don’t seem to be able to find any such option in the CP although there is the option to edit existing orders.

If this isn’t possible then I’m guessing I might need to build a bespoke module to facilitate this which inserts the relevant data into the Foxee tables.

Thanks.

Modifications of Subscriptions (i.e. Upgrade of Subscription Level)

2011-02-18T00:46:11Z

We have several subscription options (each is monthly, but give more or less features to the customer depending on which one they purchase)

How can a customer change from one type to the other? (i.e. From the user prospective, they are “upgrading their subscription”)

We do not want to force the customer to re-enter their credit card information at all - they will simply “upgrade” and “confirm” (i.e. *without canceling the first and signing up for a second*)

I have the subscription hash, can I send that with a new cart item to have that put into the current subscription?

I’m testing some samples - and will report findings, but I wanted to find out if anyone else has come across this need.

Thank you!

Conditionally Show PO in Checkout

2010-12-13T12:59:47Z

I would like to conditional show the PO field on checkout based on a custom member field. Maybe a checkbox that says PO terms (yes/no). Foxy says that we can do that but I need to pass the variable via the JSON before they can help me with the code on their end. How do I accomplish that?

UPDATEL:I looked through the Mod.foxee.php file and I notices the member_group_id is identified in the array. I’m not sure how this works but if I can grab the group name from that ID and expose it in the JSON, then I can use that group ID/Name to conditionally show the PO field.

The other option that I thought of was to pass the EE member group that the user belongs to and then show the PO field based on that. I will also need it to work for the Unified Ordering, but since both of my options are by user or member group then I would think that this will not be an issue. Am I correct in this assumption?

FoxEE and Gift Subscriptions.

2010-12-03T19:14:59Z

I have a client that offers subscriptions and downloadable products. She has been getting a lot of request recently to offer gift subscriptions. Where a user would be able to purchase a subscription or credit for a subscription for another user. I know that there is nothing like this by default (or if there is I have overlooked it) but I was wondering if you know of anyone that has done something similar in the past.

My idea right now is to build an add-on that will allow a user to add a subscription to their cart with the option of having it be a gift. Then during the checkout process they can enter the person that they want to send it to email address. After the checkout the add-on will create a 1 time use coupon that will be linked to the email address of the recipient. They will be able to follow the link in the email to the proper landing page that will allow them to add the item to the cart and enter their “gift-code” which will give them a 100% discount on that particular product.

If you can not think of any examples of someone doing something similar with FoxEE do you think that I am on the right track with my add-on approach?

Category Setup

2010-11-09T13:08:08Z

So I’m setting up my first store with EE1.7 and FOXEE 10 (Latest Version) and I have a few questions on how to setup my categories. Scenario:

- 3 Product Lines
- Each Product I want searchable by (Application, Wattage Range, Product Line)
- Some products are related by a range of wattages so I would like to show related products based off of an attribute.

So my thought is to create 3 categories under weblog management under a category group named “products.” Then I create a field group called “products” and add the necessary fields I want to capture for each product and/or want the ability to search by. Connect the field group to a weblog.

My question is, there are category groups in Foxy cart and there are custom fields in the FOXEE module in EE. Should I use those instead of using EE to setup my products, assuming my solution above in EE is correct?

Any advice and/or help/limitations on doing it one way or the other would be greatly apprecitated. Thank you.

Foxee + FoxyCart + Campaign Monitor

2010-02-14T10:25:14Z

FoxyCart has some hooks that allow you to drop customers into a mailing list set up on Campaign Monitor, however, it requires that one use a different data feed URL in the advanced set-up area of FoxyCart - one that would replace the data feed URL required by Foxee to function.

I submitted the post on their forum, and they replied back with the attached response.

What do you think is a possible solution?

Page between Add to Cart and Checkout

2010-10-28T16:15:47Z

I have some products that are not required, but strongly recommended when someone buys an item. I can get them to show up as a related item, but what I’d really like to do after someone clicks “add to cart” is go to a page that says something like “Before you checkout, we recommend you also consider the following…” and that page would allow for the addition of other recommended items. Is this kind of intermediate page possible with Foxee? Thanks.

Cart Template override & styling - adding another column to choose product Size

2010-09-08T11:45:04Z

Hello.

I am developing a foxyCart on EE with FoxEE. I am having trouble figuring out how to alter the Cart lightbox popup. I created a cart template on the site and used that url to cache the template on the admin.foxycart.com site.

However, I can’t seem to figure out how I would add another column to the products table. Ideally, I want to add a column with some select input fields in order to allow the shopper to select the size of a garment (similar to altering the quantity).

How do I override this cart template? Can you point me in the correct direction?

Is there anywhere we can find some sample copy for these emails?

Thanks!

Sort order using FoxEE_Price

2010-08-29T09:15:28Z

Is it possible to create a custom sort order using the FoxEE_Price custom field (as it would be if ti were a generic Expression Engine field) - i.e should:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog='shop_detail' relaxed_categories="yes" orderby="foxee_price" sort="desc" limit="8"} 

Print out a listing sorted with the highest price - down to the lowest price?

I’m parsing the code - and it is affecting the sort order - but it doesn’t seem to relate to the price entered into the FoxEE tab within the control panel when adding or editing an entry?

Many thanks for your help -
James
