Discount Code
This is an example of how to add a discount code to the payment form. It assumes no other changes have been made to the payment form.
Overview
The strategy is to validate the discount code that the customer enters into the form. If the discount code passes validation, we subtract the amount of discount from the total amount. We use UMdiscount variable for best integration with reports and other API calls.
In this example, the base amount is $20. The discount used is "discount" with a discount of $5.00.
Add Javascript
Add the following code to the header:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
//updateTotal function used to update UMamount if parts of the form require an update to amount.
//In this case, if someone enters LA for UMbillstate after they enter quantity.
function updateTotal()
{
if (document.epayform.UMamount.value > 0)
{
calculateTotal();
}
}
function calculateDiscount()
{
var discountInput = document.epayform.DiscountCode.value;
var discountindividual = 5.00;
var discounttotal = 0;
var discountmessage = "";
if (discountInput=="discount")
{
discounttotal=discountindividual;
discountmessage = "discount message";
}
else if (discountInput != "")
{
discounttotal=0;
discountmessage = "Not a valid discount code";
}
else
{
discounttotal=0;
discountmessage = "";
}
document.epayform.UMdiscount.value = roundCurrency(discounttotal);
document.getElementById('discountmessage').innerHTML = discountmessage;
calculateTotal();
}
function calculateTotal()
{
/* USAePay API uses UMsubtotal, UMdiscount, UMshipping, UMtax as total amounts for the order.
UMamount = UMsubtotal + UMshipping - UMdiscount + UMtax
USAePay does not automatically calculate UMamount for us.
Instead of using a simmpler calculation
Qty * (Base Amount - Discount) * (1 + Tax) + Shipping = Amount,
we'll use USAePay variables to better tie in with it's API.
*/
//calculate subtotal
var subtotal = document.epayform.UMsubtotal.value;
subtotal = roundCurrency(subtotal);
var discounttotal = document.epayform.UMdiscount.value;
if (discounttotal != 0)
{
document.getElementById('discount').innerHTML = "$" + currencyFormatted(discounttotal);
}
var total = subtotal - discounttotal;
total = roundCurrency(total);
document.epayform.UMamount.value = total ;
document.getElementById('totalamount').innerHTML = "$" + currencyFormatted(total) ;
}
//round Currency
function roundCurrency(amount)
{
var i = Math.abs(amount);
i = Math.round (i * 100)/100;
return i;
}
//format Currency
function currencyFormatted(amount)
{
var i = parseFloat(amount);
if(isNaN(i))
{
i = 0.00;
}
var minus = '';
if(i < 0)
{
minus = '-';
}
i = Math.abs(i);
i = parseInt((i + .005) * 100);
i = i / 100;
s = new String(i);
if(s.indexOf('.') < 0)
{

}
if(s.indexOf('.') == (s.length - 2))
{
s += '0';
}
s = minus + s;
return s;
