If you’re a Canadian merchant using a Zen Cart, I encourage you to try the Beanstream INTERAC payment module for Zen Cart. It has recently had a few bug fixes to deal with the differences in data various banks would send back, so if you tried it before and it didn’t work, please give it another shot.

Cross Sells using Zen Cart Better Together
Better Together now supports cross selling without discounting!
Some people wanted to do “Better Together” type pairings without the discounting – so I added “Cross Sells” to Better Together 2.3. If you’re using the setup() function to configure Better Together, just use an “X” instead of “%” or “$” in your linkage statement (add_prod_to_prod, etc.). If you’re using Better Together Admin, it’s built in to version 3.1 (a $10 upgrade if you’ve already bought Better Together Admin). The cross sells are shown on the product info page in a new centerbox called “Items you may also be interested in.”
If you use Checkout Candy, these cross sells also appear on your shopping cart page and checkout shipping page! It’s a great way to increase the value of every order.
