In shopify there is no out of the box way to add a discount code when a product get’s added to the cart.

If you have a certain product that you want to add a discount for when it is added to the cart, you can add a hidden input field with your discountcode like this:
comments added for clarity.

in cart-template.liquid Add this just before the “{% for item in cart.items %}” part:

{% assign hasDiscountedProduct = false %}

and this inside the loop (so just below {% assign hasDiscountedProduct = false %} ):

{% comment %} 
  see if we have the discounted product in the cart
  If they need to have 2 different products, you need some extra work (maybe set 2 vars, then after the loop check if both vars are true before adding the hidden field
{% endcomment %}
{% if item.product_id == 10056422096932 %}
  {% assign hasDiscountedProduct = true %}
{% endif %}

You can add some custom content inside the forloop on the discounted product, or just below the endfor, so the customer will see they will get the discount.

Add this snippet just before the form closing tag, so the input get’s posted to the checkout part:

{% comment %} Is a product in the cart valid for using a discount code? let's add the discount code field{% endcomment %}
  {% if hasDiscountedProduct == true %}
    <input type="hidden" name="discount" value="your-discount-code-created-in-shopify" />
  {% endif %}

If you have a lot of products where you want the discount to be automatically added to the checkout, you could add a specific tag to these products like “discounted_product”
and then replace this code:

{% if item.product_id == 10056422096932 %}

with:

{% if item.product.tags contains 'discounted_product' %}

(make sure to hide this tag on the frontend if you display tags on your site)

Na aardig wat shopify shops gepubliceerd te hebben leek het me handig om eens een top 5  lijst te maken van shopify apps die ik het meest gebruik, misschien heb je er wat aan 🙂

• 1. Order Printer (Gratis)
  Met shopify Order printer kan je eenvoudig met HTML layouts maken voor pakbonnen, facturen, etc.. Dit is meestal de eerste app die ik installeer.
  Ook fijn dat je vanuit het order overzicht meerdere orders kan selecteren en direct all pakbonnen er voor uit kunt printen.
• 2. Marketplace Order Connector (vanaf $19.99 per maand)
  Als je je producten ook op amazon of bol.com aanbiedt, dan kan je met de marketplace order connector eenvoudig amazon orders importeren in shopify of je bol.com orders importeren in shopify. het afhandelen van de orders kan je dan in je eigen shopomgeving doen, de track & trace gegevens van orders worden weer automatisch terug gesynced naar bol.com / amazon.
  Dankzij de marketplace order connector wordt ook de voorraad in de marketplaces up to date gehouden van producten, als er een order in shopify binnenkomt kan de voorraad in amazon / bol automatisch voor je geupdated worden.
• 3. PostNL Labels aanmaken (vanaf $6,99 per maand)
  Voor het aanmaken van postnl labels in shopify, je kan ook vanuit het orderoverzicht meerdere orders aanvinken, en direct verzendlabels aanmaken.
  Je hebt wel een PostNL contract nodig (voor een apiKey) vanaf 5 pakketten per maand al mogelijk, bij grotere aantallen scherpere pakketprijzen.
• 4. Discounted Pricing (vanaf $19,99 per maand)
  Een beetje afhankelijk of het bij je store past, met deze app kan je een staffelkorting geven, bijv. 10% korting bij afname van 2 stuks of een vast bedrag aan korting.
• 5. Trustpilot (gratis)
  Verzamel eenvoudig reviews voor je webshop, ideaal om vertrouwen te kweken bij nieuwe potentiële klanten. Trustpilot maakt gebruik van een unlisted app, je store kan via het trustpilot dashboard gekoppeld worden.
  Je kan instellen dat er een x aantal dagen na bestelling automatisch een uitnodiging verstuurd wordt tot het plaatsen van een review.

The shopify PostNL Label Print app is approved and listed on the shopify app store

You can now print your postnl labels from within the shopify admin.

I’m working hard to add more features, if you have any feature requests just let me know.
Things I’m currently adding:
– List created shipments (to easily go to track & trace, and to download the pdf again)
– Shopify Advanced & Plus only feature: For shopify+ and shopify advanced users I created an unlisted app that let’s your customer select pickup points pakjegemak app
I’m currently working on linking this app with the labels app, so you can also create labels if a customer selected a pickup point.

Please note you need a postnl contract to get a production API Key

Because most of the shopify apps that allow PostNL label printing are very large and complicated, with their own dashboard. I wanted to create an app to allow direct printing postnl shipping labels within the shopify admin.

I also added the ability to select multiple orders at once and create labels for them I’m expecting to get the app reviewed within the next week.

Dashboard:

Maak Shipment & Label:

Pdf Label


You will need a postnl developer account to request a developer API key, once you have created some test shipments, you will be able to request a production API key (if you have a postnl contract)

If you want to synchronize certain products from multivers with another (online) application, you can choose to use Unit4 Multivers .net API or the Unit4 multivers webAPI to make sure you are able to use them with your license, contact your accountmanager first.

I chose to use the .netapi because we didn’t want our multivers server to be directly connected to the internet with the web API. that’s why unit4 would post product update data to the webapplication, and load specific product data from the webapplication to update unit4 as well.

Unfortunately the company that created the iphone and android application has filed for bankruptcy, rendering the wlc-1000 cameras useless for checking your cameras on the road or recording to the cloud (recording on the sdcard should still work as far as I know).

A visitor asked me to share some of my findings for the sitecom firmware, because he wants to create an app to be able to use the cameras again, which sounds like a great idea!
It has been a while since I did the analysis, but I will try and share as much as I found, so anyone can try and setup a working application. With one side note, please share your projects, or setup a public repository, so other people can help / benefit from the code as well (and share it in the comments below).
