Attributes Quantity Price Discounts Problem

:)

Using 1.3.8a and have a test product setup with 4 quantity/price columns (not discount, but price at that quantity). Works as expected.

I added two Size Options, the larger of which should modify (actually add to) each quantity price based on the following set in the Attributes Qty Price Discount section of the Attributes Controller:

1:266.00,2:226.00,6:195.00,10:174.00

My first expectation was that this would produce a Discount to the price of each column (even though that is not what I want). I was surprised to find that this increases the price of the item at each quantity level (which is actually what I want!).

Adding a minus in front of the values provides that actual discount. No problem there.

What is not working for me is the quantity display (which I thought was determined by the number specified before the colon).


Here is what appears in the table available when clicking on the Quantity Discounts Available link:

Option Quantity Discounts

This is a paragraph of text in the window to see what it does to the size. The current size is pretty small and hard to read
Case Size Large Case

QTY 1 2 3-6 7+
PRICE $266.00 $226.00 $195.00 $174.00


The math works fine; it calculates based on the value of the QTY field, but that value is not what I have specified in the Attributes Qty Price Discount section of the Attributes Controller.

Any ideas?

With the list, the final price in the list is for more than the last number specified.

For example, with 1:266.00,2:226.00,6:195.00,10:174.00 - the 10 is ignored, as you have prices for UPTO 1, UPTO 2 UPTO 6, and then MORE THAN 6. With these calculations, you are setting the higher end thresholds, rather than the starting quantity you need to order.

If you want to offer a price when they order 6-9, and then 10 or more, you need to change the settings slightly:

1:266.00,5:226.00,9:195.00,10:174.00

From my understanding, this should give you

1 = 266.00
2-5 = 226.00
6-9 = 195.00
10 or more 174.00

Let me answer my own question... (it's amazing how the very act of stating a problem and walking away can help one solve one's own problem).

The syntax of the Attributes Qty Price Discount box is
qty:amount to add to price at that quantity,
qty2:amount to add to price at this or these quantities,
qty 3:amount to add to price at this or these quantities

(Line breaks added here only for clarity, not actually present in input field)

where qty2 is the upper limit of the second qty break such that the first qty break = qty and the second qty break = (qty+1) up to qty2.

That works for me.

Absolute, absolutely!!

Thank you. I didn't see your reply before I posted but you definitely said it more succinctly!
