I’m looking for help adding a coupon code box onto our existing webpage.
All I want to do is add a box that will subtract 10% from the subtotal if they have a valid coupon code. I’m not sure how simple or complex this might be. From looking around it looks like I need a “coupons” file that will have a list of the valid coupon codes and then I need to add the box that they will type in there code for validation. Also I would like to make it so once the code is used it is deemed invalid i.e. coupons can only be used once. Any and all help is appreciated. I’m a newbie with little to no html/php experience. To check out what the code is currently like go to: [url]http://www.oldcities.com
Thanks again
