Quantity Discounts for 1.3

I prefer to have discounting by quantity, not be dollar amounts.
I'd just love to have the availibility of having it in sub-categories---as you mentioned.


I also found a problem while I'm coding.
I added an attribute and I selected
Apply Discounts Used by Product Special/Sale: NO
and the discounts are still coming up.

Can you check on this for me?

I selected 3 of the same items to do this as a test (if that helps)

thanks,

This mod does not share configuration with the other discounting features; it has its own
configuration. In the next release, there will be an easy way to exempt products from
discounting.

Would it be possible to alter the qty discount logic so that the discounts persist when adding greater quantities than what is set in the admin panel? So more items than the set discount quantity still get discounted.

For example if each item costs $10 and 9 items cost $90, then with a $1 per item discount, 11 items should cost $99. Currently 11 items cost $100. So the discount stops accumulating for quantities greater than the number set in the qty discount control panel, at least until you reach the next discount level.

Or am I not using this module correctly?

You are using it correctly, but the "discount by currency" is a flat discount.
Why not discount by % and give 10% off over 10? That would yield the result you seek.

The new Quantity Discounts module (version 1.1) has been posted at

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=235

This version has user exits for removing items and categories from
the discounting plan, and providing different discounting levels for
certain items and categories.

Generous discounters please note: there is a known problem with sales tax computation when combining either Group Discounts or Quantity Discounts with coupons (and probably other discounting mechanisms). See the following thread:

We're working on a solution.

I have an interesting problem: I have a product that lists for $17.95 and I have entered a 4.1% discount to get the product for $17.20 when someone buys 6 to 11 of them and 8.1% to get the price to $16.50 if someone buys 12 or more. These are manufacturer requirements. This works out fine and is calculated correctly in the checkout process. But at the bottom of the product pages, the discounts are shown to have the product at $17.50 for 6 to 11 items and at $16.96 for 12+. My customers will not realize what the true discount is and will think I am overpriced vs my competitors. How does one rectify this?

Also, I really want the discount to cover a main category and ALL of its subcategories but it only discounts the subcategories individually and not all of them together under the main category. Can this be fixed? Thanks! Amy

How are you showing the discounts on the product page? Please provide an URL and post your Quantity Discounts settings.

Thanks,

Here is one of my product pages. (Please excuse the color schemes, I have not modified PurpleShades fully just yet!) To control inventory, I have a page for each size and color of diaper since Zencart does not yet track inventory for multiple attributes. For the small, medium, large and XL diapers, there is an MSRP structure as follows:

1-5: $17.95ea
6-11 $17.20ea
12+ $16.50 ea.

I put my settings at:

Discount Units
percentage

Discount Basis
Total Items in Cart

Discount Level 1
6

Discount Amount 1
4.2

Discount Level 2
12

Discount 2
8.1

I had to put it to "total items in cart" because doing it by "category" was not going to give me the discount I needed if someone ordered different sizes. It's odd, though (maybe you can tell me why...) but the quantity discounts only show up on my diaper pages anyway.

It would be nice if the mod included a way to enter what the item price was for each category and subcategory for the different #'s of items ordered, instead of percentages and then have it applied to all categories that I need it to be. At least that's what would work for me :)

If you notice at the bottom of the product page, the prices for the quantities do not match up with what gets calculated at checkout. Thus my dilemma...

Thanks for your help! Amy

The box you have at the bottom announcing your discounts is not produced by the
Quantity Discounts module; it's produced by products price manager. You seem
to have configured both Quantity Discounts and Products Price Manager.

Go into one of your products through admin and see if this isn't so. Quantity Discounts definitely did not produce that table of discounts.
