Billing Cycle Options Not Showing In Store

[Diesel]

Hi all,

 

I would like to give my customers the option of paying quarterly, semi-annually or annually. I can set these prices per product in the Admin area, but when I look at the products in the store front end, it only shows the most frequent billing cycle (ie quarterly). Where and when does the customer see the billing cycle option? Surely this should be displayed on the store front, or am I missing a setting somewhere?

HI,

 

as you have found, the cart usually only shows the shortest billing cycle that is priced (e.g monthly, quarterly etc)... the user will get to choose the billing cycle during the order process - usually at the product configuration stage.

 

however, it is possible to show multiple pricing at the front end, the variables are usually all present, but how you do it would depend on your orderform template used... e.g if you were using Standard_Cart, you could use code similar to the thread below to show all available pricing options...

... or with a comparison template, you could use a dropdown to trigger the cycle choice...

so basically it can be done - it's just a case of using the most appropriate method for your template.

Perfect! Thank you!

 

Now I just have to figure out how to make it use 6-monthly instead of "Semi-annually".

Now I just have to figure out how to make it use 6-monthly instead of "Semi-annually".

perhaps by using a Language Override and creating a replacement string...

 

$_LANG['orderpaymenttermsemiannually'] = "6-monthly";

$_LANG['orderpaymenttermsemiannually'] = "6-monthly";

 

Thanks, I did try that earlier, but it causes something to break across the entire site. I get an Oops! error. So, I'm assuming my overrides english.php file will only have this code in it(?):

 

<?php

$_LANG['orderpaymenttermsemiannually'] = “6 Monthly“;

 

I'm not great with php, so if I am making a rookie error please be gentle...

 

This is what the error says:

 

Oops!

Something went wrong and we couldn't process your request.

Please go back to the previous page and try again.

that should be all you need - though when I posted your code above into my overrides file, it didn't like your double quotes and throws up the error..

 

exception 'Whoops\Exception\ErrorException' with message 'syntax error, unexpected 'Monthly“'

 

if you can fix the quotes issue (perhaps type them in again), then it will work...

 

<?php
$_LANG['orderpaymenttermsemiannually'] = "6 Monthly";

Sorted! Thank you so much!

 

My last question is where might I find the stylesheet for the Modern order templates?

/templates/orderforms/modern/style.css

 

thought don't edit the above file, make your changes to /templates/six (or custom)/css/custom.css
