auto refund a percentage?

Is there any ways can set up auto refund certain percentage on ZC via Paypal from each total items sale for a group of customers?

That is not a built in feature.
You will have to write custom code to do that.

Better would be to give group discounts BEFORE the purchase, using the built-in group-discount capability.

Yes, group discount customers feature should be included. Hope someone can add this auto refund feature soon. Thank you!

Re: auto refund a percentage?

A "auto-refund" feature will not be built-in to Zen Cart, since whatever you're asking for is highly specialized, and unique to your requirements.
You will need to write an addon, or hire someone to write one, if you want a specialized feature like that.

As DrByte said, it is.

In your admin go to Customers > Group Pricing.

It takes a percentage off the order BEFORE that group pays, instead of refunding AFTER. Which is a much better solution.
