Recently added Cart Rules functionality

• The CARTADD cart action can be configured to specify a maximum quantity for an auto-added item. Within the <options> tags, you can now enter a <maxqty> which caps the number of times that the auto-added DCI can appear in the cart. This gives the ability to add the same DCI from multiple rules, but limit the number of times the DCI gets added.

One could use a CARTADD cart action such as the one shown below to add a shipping item to the sale. The cart action could be configured to work with several different items, but with the new <maxqty> functionality, the auto-added item would only be added once as shown in this example:

CARTADD(<department>MISC</department><category>SHIPPING</category><item>SHIPPING2</item><options><maxqty>1</maxqty></options>).

• Member log-in discounts are now applied to items added via Cart Rules during the checkout process. If a member has successfully logged in, an auto-added item that was added to the cart via Cart Rules can be
discounted via the macro SELECTIVESPECIAL("SPECIAL") in the SysManager > Activities > DCIs > New/Edit > Action tab > Action Specifics > Global Settings tab for all member passes. The discount is applied on the Checkout.aspx page when the auto-added item is added to the cart, provided the member has already logged in through the member log-in process.

• Items added to the shopping cart via a Cart Rule can now have a variable price based on a percentage of the cart total (before any auto-added items get added). To use, specify the price in the cartaction field of the cartrule record with a % as shown in this example:

CARTADD(<department>MISC</department><category>FEES</category><item>PERCENTFEE</item><options><price>7.5%</price></options>)

This adds the specified item at checkout according to the configured rule with a price that is 7.5% of the cart total
