Group Pricing Per Item Support thread

[g2ktcf]

I am using Group Price Per Item (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=154) which installed nicely (in zencart 1.5.4).

I created groups in the admin panel (Admin Panel -> Customers -> Group Pricing). For instance:
Group Name: "Group A" Percentage Discount: "10%"
Group Name: "Group B" Percentage Discount: "20%"
Group Name: "Group C" Percentage Discount: "30%"
Group Name: "Group D" Percentage Discount: "40%"

And assigned groups to customers (Admin Panel -> Customers -> Customers > "Discount Pricing Group")

Trying to edit a product in my catalogue I now see 2 new extra price fields for each 'Per Item' group you've created. As follows:

Tax Class: 21%
Products Price (Net): 82.6446
Products Price (Gross): 100

Group A Price (Net): 0.0000
Group A Price (Gross): 0
Group B Price (Net): 0.0000
Group B Price (Gross): 0
Group C (Net): 0.0000
Group C (Gross): 0
Group D Price (Net): 0.0000
Group D (Gross): 0

However the discount per item group are not automatically calculated. All is set to 0.

I would like the Discount % that I added to these groups in Admin Panel -> Customers -> Group Pricing to be caclulated automatically as this would save precious time seeing that I expect 10.000 products in my store. So in this case automatically generating:

Group A Price (Net): 74.3802
Group A Price (Gross): 90
Group B Price (Net): 66.1157
Group B Price (Gross): 80
Group C (Net): 57.8512
Group C (Gross): 70
Group D Price (Net): 49.5868
Group D (Gross): 60

Did i do something wrong or can this module only provide the fields and do i have to input the prices manually (eventhough I have given the % Discount per group)?

Thanks in advance!

kind regards

P.S. also a nice to have: I'd like includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php to display the retail price including tax (my store default is set to show prices incl tax). It now shows RETAIL price without tax making retail seem cheaper in some cases.

I actually do not see it working this way. You seem to be expecting to see a % off across the board. However, if you look at the database, There are new columns in the Products table for these Group Prices and they are in fact blank. If you want to apply a % off initially, the best solution would be to run a SQL update statement on the database. WARNING: this is not for the squeamish and you should test this on a copy of your database first.

I am installing this plugin on v1.5.1


I see an odd difference between the distribution files and this plugin that I cannot explain

Distro File is

    return zen_draw_textarea_field($name, false, 60, 5, htmlspecialchars($text, ENT_COMPAT, CHARSET, TRUE));

Plugin File is

    return zen_draw_textarea_field($name, false, 60, 5, htmlspecialchars($text, ENT_COMPAT, CHARSET, FALSE));

Which one do I use? The plugin code does not "look" like a plugin mod but maybe an older version of ZC? 1.5.0?

My Winmerge comparison is showing that the files modified by this plugin are the same files modified by Numinix Product Fields and FEC. So if you use these you need to do detailed checks.

I'm trying to install this plugin on a 1.5.4 site.

Most of it is working as I want, but when I am logged in as a customer with a discount, add a product to my cart, then the prices in the shopping cart show the normal price, not the discounted price.
The normal price is also the price you see when I continue with the checkout.
The correct discounted price is shown on the product page and on the product listing page from the category the product belongs to.

Other plugins which may influence the price:
- Vat mod
- inc ex taxes (it doesn't matter what I set this to)

Is there something I forgot to do? Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks

And I already found the solution. I had made a small change somewhere and made it say $product instead of $products with an s at the end.

We offer member discounts on specific items, but not via percentage -- rather, individual pricing on specific items. I would like to use this Group Pricing (per item) plugin:
https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=154

However, the plugin is dated 2015 and upon reading further, ran acros this thread cautioning use (in version 1.5.4) until plugin is updated:
https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....Support-thread

My question: Is there another way to accomplish my goals? Otherwise, does this plugin work well with version 1.5.5? It appears to be the only group pricing with the per item option shown in the list of plugins.

Thx.

Hi Linda,
Do you want to test this update? www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=154 - specific for v1.5.5
It's just a quick merge of the v1.5.3 file changes to create a set of v1.5.5 files.

[lindagal2]

Yes! Thanks ... doing so now.

[lindagal2]

Okay, I made the SQL patch via admin / tools / install sql patch. Also uploaded all the replacement files for 1.5.5

While adding "Group A," it still specifies a percentage discount. Also, if I am on the product page, how/where do I assign the specific "group A" price? I do not see a selection for alternate pricing.

Last but not least, if I choose to change "Group A" to "Members" after the fact (yes, I should have thought about it before) do I simply re-do the SQL patch with the name adjustments specified in the "read me" file?

Thx.

PS I have added a test customer to "group a"

[DrByte]

The "name" of each group is in the 2 group_price_per_item.php files. See the README file, section 2.

You can assign a group to each customer, so that customer gets that group's prices.

The files in this plugin only work for "Product General" products. Are you using a different product-type?

If your products are "Product General" type, then you in new/edit mode you'll see 4 group-specific pricing fields. This is where you set the per-group price for this item.

Thx DrByte --

I renamed "Group B" as "AATF Members" in the two "group_price_per_item.php" files. Then under Customers / Group Pricing, I created the group name "AATF Members" (which was specified as one of the four types of membership in the line below "Group Pricing" title. I then added a test customer to that group.

However, under ID / Group Name / % Discount it lists:
1 | AATF Members | Per Item 0.00%

Is the "0.00%" the reason no alternative pricing shows up under any of the merchandise? Each item is a different discount price unfortunately, so a global percentage rate does not work for me. Am I doing something else wrong?
