UCommerce 7.13 - Marketing and Promocodes

How the heck’a’roony does one get Promocodes to work?!

I have created a Default Campaign. It lasts for 200 years, staring 1900 and ending 2100…should be long enough.

I have created the discount item “100OFF FOR Fun”.
I “Advertise” on the Product Catalog Group
I “Act” on the Product Catalog Group + Promocode of “100OFF” + the product in the shop
I “Award” Amount off order line total 100.00

In my checkout I have the discount box
Entering 100OFF calls my ApplyDiscount method:

// Adding a voucher to the current basket.
if (MarketingLibrary.AddVoucher(Discount))
{
    TransactionLibrary.ExecuteBasketPipeline();
    response.Message = "OK";
}

but I don’t see anything being added to the basket. There is no discount value, nothing, zip!

And I can’t find any code examples out there beyond some of the most basic. There are no templates!

So no wonder the previous developer on the job has made a hooky custom discount set up.

Can anyone point me to something that can help me further as I want to use ucommerce’s inbuilt promocodes. It give the client more control.

Help?

You’re probably better off asking the uCommerce support people instead:

They couldn’t help as it turned out the original developer had created their own discount system but had named it all too similar to ucommerce’s code which caused major confusion for all. I think they did that prior to ucommerce having a discount/promotion system…
