For example, let's say we have a product costing $29.95 for one and we want to have the second go for half price. What that means is that two would cost $29.95 x 1.5 (that's $44.925 for both). Next, let's figure out how to arrive at the $44.925 price.
With our discount, we set Discount Type to Percentage and the Discount Priced from to Price.
In the Minimum Qty for Discount 1, set it to 2.
Next, set the discount value to what each item will cost to 25. What this does is discount each item 25%. Since there are two items being purchased, this amounts to the same as 50% off one.
- I try to keep in mind that 50% off the second would be half that percentage for each of the two items.
- If buying three gets the customer one for free, the percentage would be 100% divided by three (33.3333%)
Hit the update button and you'll notice that the price to the customer for 2 of this item is now $44.92 and 3 would be $59.91. As you can see, you may need to adjust the percentages slightly as the three price should be $59.90.
With more info, I can be more specific, but hopefully this hasn't muddied the waters.:unsure:
