TOPIC: PayPal Promo Code Script

PayPal Promo Code Script 8 years 1 month ago #36532

I am trying to add a textbox that allows users to add a promo code to receive a 10% discount on purchases. After researching the forum, I found the two scripts below but neither has proven successful.

I added each script to the Scripts > PHP Scripts > Scrip called on form process section. I did not include the PHP tags. I tried the first, then I removed that one and tried the second. Neither worked. What am I doing wrong?
if ($_POST['form']['promo'] == 'test'){
  $paypal = RSFormProPayPal::getInstance();
  $paypal->args['discount_rate'] = 10;
}
$amount=$_POST['form']['rsfp_Total']; 
if($_POST['form']['promo'] == 'test')
   $_POST['form']['rsfp_Total'] = $amount - ($amount * 0.1);

The issue has been resolved and the first script is working properly. I edited it to check for multiple statements. It checks if the correct promo code [Promo] has been entered and if a dropdown box selection [Dancers] is greater than or equal to 10. If both statements are true, it provides a 15% discount at checkout.
if ($_POST['form']['Promo'] == 'PROMO' && $_POST['form']['Dancers'][0] >= '10') {
  $paypal = RSFormProPayPal::getInstance();
  $paypal->args['discount_rate'] = 15;
}

One thing that would make this better if the discount were automatically reflected instead of it showing after the user is directed to PayPal. Other than that, its great.

One more issue...the discount is applied to the total price, not the specified item. For instance, if a user purchases 10 shirts and 5 pairs of pants, they will receive a 15% discount on the full order. The intention of the Promo Code is to allow the user to receive a discount for the specific item they purchase 10 of. If anyone knows how to implement this, feedback is appreciated...
