    Apply Promotion Codes To Basket With FP1

This might seem like a simple question, and I believe that the solution is,
or at least should be.  I have created several order level discounts using
FP1 and have assigned them public coupons in order to provide a promotion
code.  Now I have added a textbox and button on my page for the user to
apply the promotion code.  So far so good.  My question is twofold.

1.  How to validate the promotion code (make sure it is defined in the DB
and in the timeframe)
2.  How to apply the promotion code to the shopping basket to apply the
discounts

I have searched and searched and can not find an example using Feature Pack
1.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

There's actually a pretty comprehensive sample of this in the FP1
documentation.

Look under Developer's Guide/Developer Concepts and Tasks/Marketing
System/Promotion Codes/Implementing Promotion Codes.  There is a
step-by-step there of how to configure your site pipelines and the code you
need to add to your site to pass in the promotion codes and then get the
results from the pipeline execution.  The basket pipeline will validate the
codes (once you've configured it properly); you just need to check the
status after it runs.

Let me know if this doesn't resolve it for you or if you have trouble with
the sample.

FP1 is short for Feature Pack 1, a new set of Commerce Server tools
provided by Microsoft for managing catalogs and campaigns.  You can
download it at http://www.microsoft.com/commerceserver/featurepack1/.
