Bulk pricing discount for multiple items

Hello, I am building a site for a client that sells auto forms. (wholesaleforms.com) They would like to offer a discount for bulk purchases, but have the various items cumulative.

For example: The customer buys 50 of form A, 100 of form B and 75 of form C. Because they are buying a total of 225 forms, they get a discount in the 200-300 bulk range.

Is this possible? has anyone done this sort of thing?

Re: Bulk pricing discount for multiple items

ZenCart has the facility to add quantity discounts to a product

Across products is not a feature built in and would require a good bit of custom coding

Re: Bulk pricing discount for multiple items

When you buy 50 of form A, 100 of form B and 75 of form C are you entering the quantities 50, 100 and 75? :unsure:

Are ALL products forms? Or is this an example of one type of bulk purchase that might be made?

I don't have time to go through the whole product line to test for this ...

NOTE: your product images are monsters ... you should look into how Small, Medimum and Large with Additional and Additional Large images work ...

Re: Bulk pricing discount for multiple items

Thank you for the replies. To answer Ajeh's questions, this company sells forms and stickers for cars. They are sold to car dealers. So, the dealer will be choosing the amount of stickers, buyers guides, etc that they need. The owner of the company wants to offer bulk discounts to customers no matter what combination of items they choose. It is actually a fairly complicated inventory.

I am actually re-doing an earlier install that was done in a hurry by another developer, so one of the things on my list is to redo all 240 images. (I will also be upgrading once I make sure the custom styles and functions are safely in a custom template-its actually been a bit of a mess to clean up.)

I will just explain to them that this is not possible to do if I am to stay within their budget.

Thanks again for your input:smile:

Re: Bulk pricing discount for multiple items

Definitely a custom job to manage the different types of bulk product discounts based on everything vs individual discount quantities ...

The tutorials/FAQ's link above right is a resource

I searched for "discounts"
