Pincode Checker | AmazCart Laravel Ecommerce System CMS

Introduction

The Pincode Checker is a valuable feature of the AmazCart Laravel Ecommerce System CMS that helps you verify the pincode of your customers during checkout. This feature ensures that the pincode entered by the customer matches the one stored in your system, reducing the risk of fake or incorrect pincode entries. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to use the Pincode Checker feature in your AmazCart Laravel Ecommerce System CMS.

Tutorial: Using the Pincode Checker in AmazCart Laravel Ecommerce System CMS

Step 1: Enabling the Pincode Checker

To start using the Pincode Checker, you need to enable it in your AmazCart Laravel Ecommerce System CMS. To do this:

1. Log in to your AmazCart dashboard.
2. Go to the "Settings" section.
3. Click on "Checkout" settings.
4. Scroll down to the "Pincode Checker" section.
5. Toggle the "Enabled" switch to the "On" position.

Step 2: Configuring the Pincode Checker

Once you have enabled the Pincode Checker, you need to configure it. To do this:

1. Go to the "Settings" section.
2. Click on "Checkout" settings.
3. Scroll down to the "Pincode Checker" section.
4. Enter the pincode length in the "Pincode Length" field. This is the number of digits that you want the pincode to have.
5. Choose the pincode type in the "Pincode Type" dropdown menu. You can choose from " numerical" or "alphanumeric".
6. Click on the "Save" button to save your changes.

Step 3: Adding the Pincode Checker to Your Checkout Form

To add the Pincode Checker to your checkout form, you need to edit the checkout form template. To do this:

1. Go to the "Templates" section.
2. Click on the "Checkout" template.
3. Open the template file in a code editor.
4. Find the "" tag and add the following code inside it:

   @php
   $pincode_length = AmazCart::getConfig('pincode_length');
   $pincode_type = AmazCart::getConfig('pincode_type');
   @endphp
   <input type="text" id="pincode" name="pincode" class="form-control" required>

   This code will add a text input field to your checkout form with the id "pincode" and name "pincode". The field will be required and will have the pincode length and type configured in your AmazCart settings.

Step 4: Verifying the Pincode

To verify the pincode entered by the customer, you need to use the validatePincode method provided by the AmazCart library. To do this:

1. In your checkout controller, add the following code:

   public function checkout(Request $request)
   {
   // Your existing checkout code
   $pincode = $request->input('pincode');
   if ($pincode &&! AmazCart::validatePincode($pincode)) {
       // Return an error message if the pincode is invalid
       return redirect()->back()->withErrors(['pincode' => 'Invalid pincode']);
   }
   // Your existing checkout code
   }

   This code will verify the pincode entered by the customer using the validatePincode method. If the pincode is invalid, it will return an error message to the customer.
