Promo Code - Autofill method

John Anderson

started a topic over 8 years ago

We would love to have a method for auto filling the promo code field on the checkout page by appending a url with a code/promo code.

Example:

We have a landing page offering a promo code.
http://www.diamonddiesel.com/lp/stanadyne-web-excusive/
When clicking on the link to the product, the promo code would be saved for the session.
When arriving at the cart, the promo code will automatically be filled in on the form and be reflected in the order summary/pricing.

Example Link might look like:

http://diamonddiesel.com/whatever?promo=mypromocode

http://diamonddiesel.com/whatever?promo=xZ2vtt321

This example would be a little more secure as you would have to know a code of some sort that can be assigned when creating the promo code.

Sidenotes:

I was unable to use cookies for this because checkout was on subdomain

diamonddiesel.suredone.com

Optionally: On the checkout page have an image hosted on the subdomain that I can use that I can apply a cookie to from our main domain. (not sure if this would work but my homework suggests I can use javascript to to apply a cookie to another sub domain)
