Discount for products also available for attributes?

[taifun89343]

Hi everyone,

I am not sure if a solution for this was already posted somewhere and if yes, where it may be found.

I've got following problem:
I have a product with a basic price which can be ordered as is. But it is also possible to add certain functions which add also some costs.
The basic price can be discounted by quantities of 10, 25, 50, 100, 250 aso on a percentage base. But I can't get the attributes to use the same percentage discount for the same number. It always uses the full price.

For example: Product A costs $500. When ordering 10 pcs the price will be reduced by 5% at 25 pcs at 10% aso
Product A can be ordered additionally with product_A_addon_A and product_A_addon_B (either alone or both may be possible)
The base price for the first option is + $50 and for the second option it may be + $100
If the customer now orders 25 pcs the price for the basic product would be 10% less = $ 450
If he adds the first option to come with the product the options price should be reduced by 10% as well. Instead of $50 the price would add $45 to the basic price = $495 - what I can't get the program to manage. It will always add $50.

Maybe somebody can give me a hint where I can find a description how to set this up correctly.

BTW I want to use this for groups too. (retail, wholesale and special price per customer). I did have the discount correctly running with OsCommerce but couldn't get it to work correctly with groups. Now I hope to get it running with Zen-Cart.

Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Have you an URL to this product that we can see an example of what you are trying to do?

Are your products set to Price by Attributes or do you have a Product Price and an Attribute price?

Are you using the Product Quantity Discounts for this on the Product Price Manager?

Hi Ajeh,

this is not a production server yet. The testing is being done on an internal server. But I have a DNS to contact the server when I am at home. I'll PM the information if you don't mind?

Thanks,
Thomas

Quantity Discounts are on the Price/Special of the Product ... this does not address the Attribute price.

For Attributes, these can use either the discount ratio by a Special or Sale or using the Quantity Discount for the Attribute itself ...

Attributes Qty Price Discount:
1:100,10:90,20:80,30:70,40:60,50:50

Yes, this is what I thought it would do. I set up the attribute flag "Apply Discounts Used by Product Special/Sale", but it doesn't seem to have any affect on the attributes price at all. This would have also been the method I would have preferred to use, because it would avoid calculating the dicount for each attribute again seperately.

Ok, now I know what to input if I use "Attribute Quantity Price Discount". It works now too. Thanks a lot!!. I need to calculate the value to substract from the price for the required amount (1:0,10:-7.35,...), then this worked.

But can you tell me what I am doing wrong when I try to use the attribute flag? Do I have to setup something different too? I tried several things but nothing seems to affect the attributes price at all.

Hello,

any figures on this?

Is it really not possible to get the attributes use the quantity discount of the base product which is set to percentage?

[Ajeh]

The Attribute Discount flag is for Specials and Salemaker but not for Quantity Discounts at this time ...

[taifun89343]

Ok, got it! Thanks.

Are there any intentions to extend the function in that way like I would want to use it?

Looking into it ...

[doclalor]

I think I need to "use the Quantity Discount for the Attribute itself," as Ajah put it above.

I'm wanting a quantity discount when any 12 products in a category are purchased (and a different discount when any 24 products in the category are purchased, and a still deeper discount on 36 ...).

I assigned an attribute "Bulk" to all products in the category, and, using "Attributes Qty Price Discount" through the Attributes Controller, I assigned

11:2.32,23:1.75,35:1.58,47:1.47,99:1.37,249:1.22,499:1.06,999:.97,1999:.90,2999:.75,4999:.70,1000000:.65

to specify different prices for different quantities.

The problem is, this only gives the $1.75/product discount when 12 of a single product are ordered, not when 8 of one product in the category and 4 of another in the category are ordered. But that still totals 12 products with the attribute; so I thought it should give the discount. I must be doing something wrong.

I'm assuming "Attributes Qty Price Discount" is supposed to apply price discounts based on any products satisfying the attribute, not just single products.

What can I do?

I'm using ZenCart 1.3.7.

I've worked many hours on this, and finally decided to post because I figure that what I want to do is so basic I must just not be getting how to do it; but it certainly must be simple to do.

Thanks for any help!
