Hi,

I need somthing that is seemingly very simple, but for the life of me, I cannot figure it out. All my products are photos and all are the same price. I just want to be able to off a .50 discount per photo if 10 or more are purchased. So, whether they buy 10 or 100, the discount is .50 off each photo.

I have set up quantity discounts and it seems to be functioning. I have the following settings:

Discount Units: currency

Discount Basis: Total items in cart

Discount Level 1: 10

Discount Amount 1: .50

With these settings, if you put 10 items in the cart, you get a total discount of .50, where as I need it to be a discount of .50 PER ITEM for a total of $5 off of 10. What am I doing wrong?

There's no "per item" discount yet - there's percent per item discount or dollar figure discount, but not per item. Since your items all have the same price, figuring out what % is equal to $0.50 and using that (with discount by % rather than currency) will work.

I got to thinking about this today after I responded to your question, and decided this would be a worthwhile and generally useful thing to add. Sit tight.

Can this module be installed without having/using custom template.
i have vanilla zen cart installed .

You don't *have* to install the marketing text, so the answer is yes - but as soon as you want to introduce the text, I would encourage you to create a custom template. It doesn't have to contain anything more than the product info template you change and the other required template files (css, template_info, etc.).

I personally think the marketing text is part of the appeal of this feature, but it's up to you.

Good luck,
Scott

OK, this is now available. Download Quantity Discounts 1.7 and REMOVE and INSTALL Quantity Discounts. You must run REMOVE and INSTALL, it's not enough to just copy the files. Then set the Discount Units to currency per item, and set Level 1 and Amount 1 appropriately.

i almost have the template override thing going, except for the front page,
which i made with ez pages sometime ago.
i noticed the page name is define_main_page.php, which resembles the text on the shopping cart front page. www.aquadine.com then shop.
i can't figure out why it doesn't show up.
the define main page is in
catalog/includes/languages/english/html_includes/classic/define_main_page.php

so i created ...
catalog/includes/languages/english/html_includes/aquadine-template
( but noticed it was empty so i copied files and ...)
actually as i was typing and double checking i got it to work. i didn't want to give you false info, and by doing that i moved forward a square or two...

ok - next question -
i want to be able to offer a kind of 1 and 1/2 for 1 deal. is that something
that can be done with your modue?
on a linux system - after unzipping the files -
i can copy them to the template locations then?
thanks.

If you want buy one get one half off, you should look at Better Together, not Quantity Discounts.
