Quantity Discounts for 1.3

Discount by currency is a one-time one amount discount. If you need a currency discount to be applied to each item, this is an inexpensive customization I can do for you; PM me for details. Otherwise, you can use a % off discount of 16% with discount level 1 of 3.

Good luck,

I was assuming that it was a one-time discount, which is fine. My assumption on the use of it was this:

If I have $6 worthe, then give $1 discount. If I have $12 worth, then give $2, and so on. I even tried reversing it, putting the higher levels first, but I still only ever got $1 discounted. I only want the discount to apply on groups of three, and it's $1 off for each group. Make sense? Can I do this with the current module?

You will need to write some custom logic.
I added user exits to make the mod more extensible. See

http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zenca...discounts.html

for some examples. Look at apply_special_category_discount().

I just installed 1.3. I would rather the parent category be used for my quantity discount. I'm sure there is a simple code mod that I can do to allow for that. Can you tell me what that would be? Thanks!

The parent category is used. Do you want the top level category to be used?
If so, this is available as a customization for a modest fee. Please see "Special Requests" in:

I've missed something, I know I have!
I've installed the mod, read the thread, read the readme.

I have about 4000 products, I want to offer quantity discounts on about 25 of these products, spread over different categories.

I've look in the product edit, and all through the menus...but how do I do this???
I'm lost - sorry for being thick!

You need to use the user exits. Look at

http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zenca...discounts.html

at the exclude_category() method as an example.

Check the FAQ again at

http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zenca...discounts.html

a couple of examples of having products in or out of the discounting plan are provided.
(look for "exclude_product")

Good luck,
Scott

Ah, NOW I get it!
I didn't even realise Zen had a "per product quantity discount" built in! (Admit it - the admin isn't designed for ease of use!)

So, I use the "per product" system for some, apply blanket discounts via your system, and exclude what I don't want, and the built-in "per product" system will over-ride the blanket discounts from your system where appropriate?

Have I understood this right?

That's a very interesting usage model ... I guess I thought most people would use the built in one and do it product by product, or use mine, but I guess you could use both. The only problem
I would have with using both is that you'd have to explain very carefully to the customer that
discounts on product xyz will appear as soon as you put the product in your basket, but discounts
on product abc will not be shown until checkout time.

Good luck,
Scott
