Quantity Discounts for 1.3

[pasher]

Hi
Using this module and getting errors in the tax (VAT @ 17.5%) calculations.
Admittedly its only 1p - 2p high as the order value moves into the £1000s, but customers will pick up on it!!!

Include Tax - False
Recalculate tax - Standard
Percentage
Total by Category
50 - 20%
100 - 30%
500 - 40%
1000 - 45%
5000 - 50%

Goods are valued at around £1.00 each

No Gift Certs. or Coupons installed.

Help please - going live soon and this needs to be sorted.

Thx Pa

Rounding is done at several stages, so this sort of thing will happen.

Yeah - I suspected it was to do with rounding.
Is your rounding always 'done up', or 'up or down' dependent upon the '.5' breakpoint?
The reason I ask is that when erroneus, the tax is always high. If the roundings were up and down, one would expect it to be correct sometimes, or even low occasionally.

I would like to have discount pricing per item within different categories (based on currency). Each category has different quantity discounts that need to be applied. I have 6 categories that need to have discounts per item.
for example

Category A has 1000 products. Every product in the category has the same quantity discount pricing structure but the discount can not be combined between products within that category.

Category A product 1
0-49 = $0.25 each
50-99 =$0.23 each
100-199 = $0.20 each
200 -249 =$0.18
250 + = $0.15

Category B has say another 800 products that need discounts applied per item as well.
Category B product 1
0-99 = $0.25 each
100- 199- $0.23
200-249 = $0.21
250 - 499 = $0.18
500 + = $0.15

I know that ZC product pricing can do this but it means that I would have to apply the discount individually to all my 3000+ products. Does your module support this as I was unsure after reading the instructions. Any help appreciated thanks

You would have to write software to do this. PM me for details.

I installed the module per instructions. I then set the parameters in the (Modules, Order Total, ot_quantity_discount). It worked the first time, but after that, it stopped working. When it did work, during checkout on the last leg it showed the discount; it’s just not working now.

Also, I removed (not just disabled it) the module and reinstalled it. I’m using the latest ZC version and the most recent Quantity Discount module.

Do I need to do something else other than just install the module? I’m just getting started with creating a website with a shopping cart—I’m green to this experience. Any detailed instructions on this will be appreciated.

I do have the Zen Cart book, but I can't find anything in the book that provides info

Please advise.

[swguy]

The book only discusses the stock cart, not mods.

Are you sure you're putting enough things in your cart to trigger a discount? Otherwise I have no idea.

[justme]

For test purpose I have the parameters set as follows:
Discount Unit: percentage
Discount Basis: Total Items in Cart
Discount Level 1: $11.00
Discount Amount: 80

My items cost $5.89 and above. When I put any amount above $11 in the shopping cart (i.e. $45 worth of product), it doesn't give a discount in any amount.

It worked the first time only.

[swguy]

Total items in cart should be 5, 10, 27, 34 or some other cardinal number, not $11. What you're trying to do (if you want thresholds like $11, $22, or whatever) would require more software. PM me for details.

Just to let you know we have decided to redo our quantity discounts based on category level (mixed products within category will qualify) so your module with be invaluable
Thanks for your help
