Is it possible to not have discounts show in the basket as a product?

Right now when a customer puts a product with a discount in the basket, the discount is shown like it is another product with a negative price.

Is there an alternative way to show discounts?

You can use if statements in your template to check the orderline type and then create different markup for discounts...

<!--@LoopStart(OrderLines)-->

<!--@If(Ecom:Order:OrderLine.Type=3)-->
Product discount
<!--@Else-->
Regular orderline
<!--@EndIf-->

<!--@LoopEnd(OrderLines)-->

OrderLineType
0: Product
1: Discount
2: Fixed
3: ProductDiscount
4: Tax

Hi,

There is also a tag called Ecom:Order:OrderLine.IsProduct that can be used:

Kind regards,

Hi Merethe,

 

So we have the template tag IsProduct, which value is true when the order line is of type Product or Fixed.

It's kinda weird that we don't have similar tags for discounts and taxes, like IsDiscount and IsTax. Could these be added?

This would make templates a lot easier to understand :)

 

BAD:

<!--@LoopStart(OrderLines)-->
 
<!--@If(Ecom:Order:OrderLine.Type=0 || Ecom:Order:OrderLine.Type=2)-->
... Product ...
<!--@EndIf-->

<!--@If(Ecom:Order:OrderLine.Type=1 || Ecom:Order:OrderLine.Type=3)-->
... Discount ...
<!--@EndIf-->

<!--@If(Ecom:Order:OrderLine.Type=4)-->
... Tax ...
<!--@EndIf-->
 
<!--@LoopEnd(OrderLines)-->

 

GOOD:

<!--@LoopStart(OrderLines)-->
 
<!--@If Defined(Ecom:Order:OrderLine.IsProduct)-->
... Product ...
<!--@EndIf-->

<!--@If Defined(Ecom:Order:OrderLine.IsDiscount)-->
... Discount ...
<!--@EndIf-->

<!--@If Defined(Ecom:Order:OrderLine.IsTax)-->
... Tax ...
<!--@EndIf-->
 
<!--@LoopEnd(OrderLines)-->

Hi Morten,

I have sent this request to our Product Management that will take a look at the request and prioritize it if added it to the backlog.

Have a nice day :)

Kind regards,
Merethe
