Volume Discount on a whole category??

Ok, on our store, we have several types of products (books (several styles), PDFs, and miniatures.

My boss wants us to be able to setup a volume discount on the entire Miniatures category.

So, if a person purchases $100+ in minis, we will give him a 15% discount, or a 20% or whatever discount...

Is there a way to do this?

You can use Quantity Discounts in the add ons section to do this. Read the documentation for examples.

Yeah, I found it just a little while ago.....

Now if I can just figure out how to make it work for a single category.

Anything is better than putting in case statements for 145 categories... :laugh:
