About the Extension
Purpose of the plugin
The "Sample product orders" plugin offers a variety of functions for the effective management of sample products in the online store. By using a dynamic product group, the sample products can be easily grouped and comprehensive settings can be made. The display and ordering of sample products is rule-based and the prices are freely definable. The maximum number of sample products that can be ordered is freely selectable, as is the setting for the maximum number of different sample products in the shopping cart. It is also possible to define an individual order number prefix and/or suffix for sample products. In addition, the plugin allows various display options for the sample order button, including the position, type and text of the button. The plugin supports mixed orders, allowing sample products and regular products to be ordered at the same time in the shopping cart. Clear labeling of sample products in the shopping cart and in order confirmation emails ensures transparency, whereby the labeling text can be freely selected. The plugin also provides its own email template called "ACRIS order confirmation with sample products" for orders with sample products. The plugin includes a preset dynamic product group "Sample Product", the sample product rule management "Default" with a wide range of customization options and a special e-mail template for sample products.
Application examples
- You would like to offer the option of ordering sample products in your online store to convince potential customers of the quality of your products. It should be possible for your customers to have up to three different sample products in their shopping cart.
- You would like to enable a certain customer group to order the first two sample products free of charge, while all other sample products should have a minimum fixed price. The plugin allows you to define, based on rules, which sample products are free, partially free or subject to a charge.
- You want to clearly mark the sample products in the order confirmations sent by email. You would like to use a special label, e.g. ACRIS-sample-product.
- You would like to enable your customers to place mixed orders so that they can order sample products and normal products together. This provides a seamless and convenient experience for customers who want to combine different item types in a single purchase.
