Buy one service get the 2nd at 1/3 off.

Hey guys. I have a client who used zen cart. He is a noteworthy psychic and he sells his psychic readings through Zen Cart. He has asked me to setup a buy one reading and get one (and only one) at a discount price.

What is the best way to do this? I'm not sure how to add an option for a 2nd reading and limit it to only 1 2nd at the discount.

Should I just setup another product that includes both? Any insight would be appreciated. I have two Zen manuals but can't seem to find the answer because this is a SERVICE and not an actual physical product.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Re: Buy one service get the 2nd at 1/3 off.

The issue is not that it's a service; it's that he wants to constrain it to one and only one discounted purchase. You're going to have to write software to achieve this. If unlimited repurchases were allowed, you could use Better Together.

But he probably already knew that. (Ba-dum-bump!)

Thanks,

What I did was simply create a new product that INCLUDES the one reading at full price and the second a 1/3 off. This works. Gives them a super value plus, they can't just add on numerous additional discounted readings. They have to buy another product to get the discount again etc.

This is in keeping with what my client wanted and it works.

Thanks again,
Mark
