need multi pricing ie $3.50 each or 3 for $10

Please move if in incorrect place.

Can someone tell me if it would be possible to make an entire category priced at 3.50 for each item, but also have a price break if 3 are purchased for $10.

So if 2 are purchased it would be $7
3 $10
4 $13.50
5 $17
6 $20
and so on....

Thanks for your help on this! It's greatly appreciated!

Have you looked at the Discount Quantities on the Products Price Manager?

I can almost get what I want. By using the Discount Quantities in the Products Price Manager, I can discount a single item but not an entire category, and I do not really want the pricing to show up as 1-2 at X price and 3 or more at Y price. I really need to it structured so that only groups of 3 are discounted throughout the entire category.

Nothing is built in to do this. You have to write code.

Thanks, I don't know how to do that nor do I have the money to pay someone so until then, I will just not give the price break online I guess.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I'm having the same problem. I wanted to sell 6 for 5 (ie. the items are $1, but you get 6 for $5 plus free shipping.) I tried the discount add-on, which works but doesn't allow the local tax to work correctly. You might want to check that out, it's here:

I bought the book (hey, it's time I kicked in and showed some love!) but it didn't help in that regard.

If anybody else has any ideas, I sure would appreciate it.
