Quantity Discounts for 1.3

[Treece]

Thank you. The products that were being discounted improperly were indeed those with Master Category IDs set to "0". Fortunately, I do not have linked products and resetting them worked for me.

Admin -> Tools -> Store Manager, and click on "Reset ALL Products Master Categories ID"

Once you update master categories, you must also run the Products Price Sorter, which is also under Store Manager.

Thanks for the reminder, Scott.

Scott, How can I move the Quantity Discounts link from the Categories sidebar to the Information sidebar? Also, I cannot edit this page from the Define Pages Editor. It doesn't show up.

I am running 1.3.8a and recently installed the latest version of Quantity Discounts. Thank you.

[swguy]

Are you talking about the link to the promotional page? If so, to make it editable in the define pages editor,

copy ./includes/languages/english/html_includes/custom/define_quantitydiscounts_promo.php
to
./includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_quantitydiscounts_promo.php

(You have to have one in the default directory for the defines pages editor to work).

For instructions on moving the link to the information sidebox, please see the FAQ on my website which supplies detailed instructions. (It actually answers your previous question too.)

Hi I have installed this add-on, everything seems to work fine but the calculations seem to be off slightly.

I'm trying to give a 5% discount for orders over $200. On the checkout_payment page, the subtotal is not matching the subtotal used to calculate the discount. The amount is usually very small like less than 1%, but this affects the total.

For instance, a subtotal of $890.00 will be calculated as $888.75 * 5% = 44.44. The discount should be $44.50.

I realize it's a small difference, but I'd like to sort it out. Thank you. Settings below:

Is that maybe Zen Cart's habit of performing calculations on a line by line basis? I's a very irritating habit because it causes rounding errors to accumulate. Perhaps tell us how you derived your example $890.00. Was it a single item costing that much? Or was it a number of items?

I am very new to zencart.
I am running ZC 1.39h.
I have installed quantity discount 1.3 - latest.
My problem is that I can't figure how this thing is calculated.
I think what I need is very simple. Perhaps a kind member can tell what to enter to accomplish this.

I have downloadable products that I sell among other things.
This downloadable products are in one category. I have about 200 of them. Each cost $49.95

I need to apply two kinds of discount to this category only.

Buy 3 = $99.00
Buy 10= $200.00

Can some one be kind enough to tell me how to accomplish this with this contribution.
Thanks a lot.

You can't do this. Quantity Discounts gives you a discount off ($ or %) specific quantities (or more), not a final price.

[steve Nezia]

Thanks for that. Does anyone know how I may accomplish this.
Item I sell that costs $49.00 each. I want to discount as follows

3 items - $99.00
10items - $199

Thanks for your help
