I am sorry for asking such a pathetic question but can someone tell me how the coupons get switched on at the checkout? I have enabled coupons through order totals and added it in a geo zone for the uk but nothing appears when you get to the checkout? I am doing something wrong?

I am using opencart 1.5 but I cant see anything nothing is displaying... do you think its because I have it on a usb web server rather than a host? Or that I have an option that they will pay on collection?

OK - I think I have figured out that a customer needs to register an account before the coupons can be applied... The next question would be can the coupons be applied at guest checkout?

No idea what you are up to but the coupon can be applied as a guest and does not need an account. The coupon is applied in the shopping cart. if it is not working for you and you have it locally somehow then I would suggest that there is a problem with the local install.

for anyone reading this ....
this is a terrible feature of 1.5
as stated the discount coupon / gift voucher is under the checkout/cart - where no one can find it. (it took me ages to find, so customers have no hope)
every checkout button in opencart goes to checkout/checkout so to make this work you need to redirect checkout/checkout to checkout/cart.
Im hoping that at some point gift vouchers /discount coupons will go into the checkout process where it should be.

I have managed to redirect all the links except the shopping cart button that sits at the shopping cart tab when you click on the drop down to see if there is any products in the basket. It would be nice to get the other link sorted aswel but I am not entirely bothered as I may decide to get rid of this.

I have as well
any button - look for this code
<a href="<?php echo $checkout; ?>
and change it to
<a href="<?php echo $cart; ?>
the header links go like this
Code: Select all
<?php } ?><a href="<?php echo $home; ?>"><?php echo $text_home; ?></a><a href="<?php echo $wishlist; ?>" id="wishlist_total"><?php echo $text_wishlist; ?></a><a href="<?php echo $account; ?>"><?php echo $text_account; ?>
<!--</a><a href="<?php echo $cart; ?>"><?php echo $text_cart; ?></a>
<a href="<?php echo $checkout; ?>"><?php echo $text_checkout; ?></a></div>-->
<a href="<?php echo $cart; ?>"><?php echo $text_checkout; ?></a></div>
note that there is already a cart link in the header - that has been removered and the checkout link altered
hope that helps someone
Ronnie

Thanks ronnieb that has helped! Only thing is I need to edit this button as shown:
Anyone know how to edit that button? I can see it in /catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/cart.tpl but the variable $cart is not defined.

Edit: ../catalog/controller/checkout/cart.php
Find (line 480ish - it's the second instance very close to the bottom of the file) :
$this->data['checkout'] = $this->url->link('checkout/checkout', '', 'SSL');
Change to checkout/cart.

Hi,
for some reason that doesn´t work for me. Always gives me checkout/checkout, even after changes. Any suggestions? I´m using 1.5.1.3.1

I too had to search google to find where I put the coupons.
It should be in the checkout steps, but then that's one more step and looks like a lot of steps already.. hmm..

Yes, had the same problem and found you should do this change in catalog/controller/module/cart.php - not the other cart.php
