Volusion Soft Add To Cart - Show cart Total instead of Subtotal

In the Volusion shopping carts "soft add to cart" feature, which is turned on in product options with "Enable Add To Cart Popup", the popup shows the "Subtotal" of products currently in the cart.
The issue is this Subtotal does not include quantity discounts and therefore shows customers a higher price than the actual Subtotal after discounts are applied.
For that reason, we would like to display the cart Total, which includes any quantity discounts applied.
The problem is, I cannot find a place where this can be done in the HTML we have access to and if I were to find it, I'm not sure of the proper Volusion syntax to use to call up the Total instead of the Subtotal.
Thanks!
I had a different issue, but the same problem (soft add to cart did not display the proper info).
In my case, we allow engraving on our products, for an additional charge, and when selected this option was not displayed in the popup cart. As a result, customers were not sure if they chose it or not.
My solution was to add a Shopping Cart block to the page, as part of the template, using jQuery.
If you call http://yourUrl/AjaxCart.asp you'll see the discount info you need in the JSON data, as well as the line items in the order.

applying a 20% discount for students to magento store

I am trying to apply a student discount to some of my products but I can only see a way of applying a discount to the product itself, so everyone gets the discount! What I really want is somewhere for students to enter a code to get their discount, how can I achieve this please?
If you want to create a discount with coupon code, you should create a shopping cart price rule. So the students can add the products to cart and enter the coupon code on shopping cart page to get the discount for the products.
In Magento backend go to Promotions > Shopping Cart Price Rules.
Click Add New Rule on the top right.
Complete all required options. Set Coupon field to Specific Coupon and enter a coupon code on below text field. On conditions tab, configure settings for discount products that should be found in cart. On actions tab, configure setting to apply rules only for discounted product.

Magento if buy some amount and then get one product free from our collection of product

If i buy some products and total is more then 1000 then i will offer 1-product free from my selected products of different category, how can i do this in Magento.
Anybody having idea ?, tutorial link also nice help to me.
Thanks in advance.
You can make this by creating shopping cart price rules through admin panel. In Admin panel, you can see Promotions in the menu and under to that shopping cart prices rules. In that create a New Rule and in that new rule, there is a condition field. Here you can give the Condition as shown in th following screenshots.
And in the next action field, make as below.
Thats it. Now if you add both the products to the cart, u can see the difference. In the above condition logic is only for your reference. You can add some more logic to that If you requires.

Associating additional products to be bought while buying a product in magento

I am developing a magento shopping cart for selling some products. When the customer has chosen his product and wants to check out the product, I also want him to select some associated products that he would like to add to his cart. This association I should be able to make in the magento admin panel.
A working example of this is on this site.
Here is a screenshot of the requirement:

I am using Magento shopping cart for my application. I would like to know if there is an existing extension that allows us to do this or if I will have to code something on my own.
Thanks for your help.
Built in already. RTFM:

Cross-Sells Cross-sells display after a product has already been added
to the shopping cart. In this design package, three products are
randomly picked from the products that are marked as cross-sells of
all the products in the shopping cart. To add cross-sell items to a
product: Log in to the Magento admin Navigate to Catalog -> Manage
Products Find the product you want to add cross-sells to Select and
edit this product Select the Cross-sells tab From the products grid
that appears, check any products you’d like to mark as cross-sells
(press “Reset Filter” to see all products) Once a product has been
checked, the “Position” field opens up. This determines the sort
order of the cross-sells in the shopping cart. If you have multiple
products in the cart they are randomly selected, so the sort order
will not take effect. Press “Save” In the front-end, add the product
you just edited to the shopping cart.
Clearly you need to style up your suggested products and how and when they appear in the customer journey. It may take work to get it right but it can all be done.

Add two products to magento Shopping Cart simultaneously on click of add to cart button

I have been working on a LiftSuggest - an automatic Product Recommendations generator.
Now,I have introduced a bundling functionality which will bundle two products and assign discount.
For example,
On product page of A of the client's site,I(LiftSuggest) displays a bundle Saying "Buy A and B together and avail 10% off on net value". Now, when the user clicks on the add to cart button , I want both the products to be added simultaneously to cart. I had implemented the solution proposed on this link, but I need the products to be added on click of add to cart button,without entering the quantity or providing the check box.Just imagine that you can see a box( container) containing two products and on click of add to cart button-in that div container itself, both of them should be added to cart.I can make out that I need to store both the products in session, but I don't know exactly how to proceed.

There are cart rules for various shopping carts. You can manipulate those rules through coding and achieve the desired output.
