Hello all:

we are giving a free T-Shirt for each order over 50 Euro and we need to capture the size during the order process.

 

I want to find a decent way (maybe even be packed as a contribution) to do this. Would like to get some input.

 

There are several ways to do this. I just could display a text message and a dd in the checkout process. This would do the trick. But I would like to be able to switch this on and off and maybe even be able to change the product through admin without coding.

One thought of mine has been, to add the product to the cart. But I can't think of a decent way on where and how to add the product and then I need to give focus to the product, have the user select the size and then continue with the checkout.

 

Any suggestions or maybe a better idea on how to solve this problem?

TIA

How about a linked product module. That way - if say you want to make the t-shirt added to the cart then when they click the item it is linked to it will go to the cart as well - and if it is a linked item with attributes it will bring up the options.

 

Something like the cross-sell - where there is an admin for it so you can just pull up the products and link them from there. We would need a linked products category that is hidden or maybe could call it premium offers or some such and not have to hide it - any items in tha category would carry a premium like an automatic discount, a free item, etc
