Hi

I get the impresion that very few people use the basket module. I have asked questions regarding the basket module before and you just do not get an answer.

Nobody seems willing to assist with any enquiry re the basket. If the basket module had not been available I would not have used Gallery3.

Wish you the best in getting help.

Regards

@dgfphoto99: I can't speak for anyone else, but you're right that I do not use the basket module. One day, if time is available, I may look at it to try to add features, but honestly that's extremely unlikely to happen any time in the near future. G2 had a fairly thorough basket module. Maybe that's a better solution for you?

@dgfphoto99, @mikegilmore81: Not sure how good you are with php, but if you're using PayPal, there are a few tutorials on adding a discount code:

I'm sure there are other tutorials for PayPal discounts and likely more for other payment solutions, too.

Hope that helps.

I will check those out. Also, does anyone know how to get rid of the "Pay Offline" option during checkout? I would like to just go through PayPal alone.
Thanks
