Good luck to all,

I will provide 1.3.5 updates ASAP. If you are merging yourself, note that the file shopping_cart.php no longer requires special customization; my change was added to core code.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi

I am having a wee problem in that I have the qty discount module installed but the calculation does not seem quite right.

This is a uk store with vat at 17.5%

http://www.vineorganic.co.uk

I have the following settings

Include tax - true
discount units - percentage
discount basis - items in cart
discount level 1 - 5
discount amount - 5

I have disallowed items being discounted from 1 category - by amending a file as specified (adding in category id)

However it seems to completly ignore the vat and apply the discount to the items without including the vat.

How would I get it to calculate the discount taking into account vat?

Help appreciated (donation to college fund will be made as soon as possible - this is a fab module - so thanks!)

The include tax stuff is quite hairy, and I'm not sure about VAT. When you're upgraded
to 1.3.5, pm me and I'll give you a beta of v. 1.3 of QD; this might solve your problem.

Sods law I have just spent the last week updating to 1.32...from 1.27

ho hum - will try and get this done over the next few weeks.

Cheers will get in touch once I've upgraded.

Quantity Discounts Version 1.2 has been submitted to the moderators and will be available shortly. This has a number of sales tax related fixes, so if you charge sales tax, please be ready to upgrade.

Note that this module is dependant on certain fixes in ZenCart 1.3.5, so you *must* upgrade to ZenCart 1.3.5 before installing Quantity Discounts 1.2.

I will post a message here when it is generally available.

Meanwhile, have a look at the Quantity Discounts FAQ page:

So if you want to discount by dollars and not by item count, please speak up and let me know what what you think the config item name should be, and any other config you think is needed.

Hi
I wonder if you did develop the discount thresholds set by dollars/pounds spent afterall. I would like to offer my customers discounts based on the amount of money spent per order.....

How about calling it cart total discount or something...

Also, is it possible to make the discounts unavailable to some customers - say newer ones, yet available to your returning customers?

Thanks

These extensions are available at a small cost. PM or email me with your precise specifications for details.

The latest version (1.3) of Quantity Discounts is now available; this version fixes some of the sales tax issues in prior versions. Note that this version has ONLY been tested against ZenCart 1.3.5 and requires ZenCart 1.3.5's copy of shopping_cart.php, so please upgrade before installing this version of the contrib.

Good luck,
Scott

I have a group of products that are all under one category. Each item is $2.00, and when we sell them locally, we offer them at 3/$5. I installed the module and I'm only able to get one discount on the first 3. If I buy 6, I still only get $1 off. My settings are:

Discount Units
currency

Discount Basis
Total by Category

Discount level 1
6.00

Discount Amount 1
1.00

Discount Level 2
12.00

Discount Amount 2
2.00

etc.

Am I doing somethign wrong?
