Anybody out there that uses an anonymous login on the web to allow the patron to shop prior to logging in with their own login. Do you allow the patron to use a promo code while they shop (Still logged in with anonymous)? Is there any issues with using the anonymous login with promo codes and then transferring the cart when the patron does log in?
Thanks,
Marty,
Just to add on to what others have said. The TN_Express_Web product uses anonymous login and accepts promo before forcing user login. There are controls on each page that allow the user to add a promo code. If the promo entered is valid, the anonymous user is logged back in using that promo and the promo is stored in the ASP session. All subsequent page loads will suppress the promo controls.
When the user hits the login page (either forced by the checkout flow or by choice at any point before) they will see that the promo textBox will be inactive and have watermark text that tells them they have previously entered a promo.
The user is logged in as themselves with the promo (stored in ASP session) and transferSession is called.
If you would like to view the functionality you can goto:
express.tessituranetwork.compromo: testpromo
As this is an demo offer it will not adjust pricing for all perfs, but I believe the Planets perfs will be affected.
Hope this helps
