Qty Discounts Off - Swap display price for percentage?

Hi,

I've set up the Qty Discounts Off Price through products price manager, using discounts of 5, 10, 20 and 40 percent depending upon the quantity purchased.
The thing is, I'm using this quantity discount on a product with many attributes and each attribute has a different price.

The data in the Qty Discounts Off Price table at the bottom of the page is based on the first attribute price which is a little confusing if not irrelevant if customers are interested in a different attribute with a different price.

Is it possible to replace the discount PRICE (based on the first attribute) shown in this table with a discount PERCENTAGE value that would be of more use to the customer.

See what I mean here:

Thanks!

You'd have to write code to do this - nothing is built in.

If you use the Quantity Discounts contribution (in place of native Quantity Discounts) you can display percentage discounts, but this works best when you have the same discounting plan across all products (although you can include and exclude products easily enough).

thanks for that, i'll take a look at the quantity discount mod.
Maybe an odd question but are there any compatibility issues with quantity discount and stock by attributes as I've finally got SbA working the way I want it and don't want to mess things up!

There shouldn't be any interaction between these two areas but you should test carefully before going live.
