STCtoCart Zen Holiday Add-on
This add-on was Inspired by Sex Toy Club idea of creating special categories for certain Holiday's. This is a great idea for getting more sales during these times, however with many shopping carts including the osCommerce based ones. Changes to a category also changes the products URL, so a product that was previously indexed by a search engine will now return a different product or even a 404 page not found error!
These changes can cause you many headaches with your SEO plans. Well for those of you that use my STCtoCart with Zen Cart! I've created an automatic system where you can do the following:
- Select up to 18 Holiday's
- Enter the number of day's prior to the holiday you want a Special to begin.
- Enter the discount sale price for these products.
- List any number of products you want to provide as a Holiday Special!
Now you can pre select products for nearly every holiday of the upcomming year. This add-on will automatically enter the products you selected for a specific Holiday and it also enters the Start Date you want to begin prior to each holiday. For example you want to provide a sale for several products that are popular for Valentine's Day and you want the sale to start 10 day's before Feb 14th. You just enter the number 10 and the Percentage discount for the sale and then the product model numbers. Set a cron job to run specials.php every night 1 or 2 minutes after midnight and the software will do the rest.
Sorry osCommerce and CRE Loaded users, your shopping carts do not utilize an auto enabled/disabled when dates are set so this add-on won't work with your shopping carts!
