Creating Groups For Each Customer With Specific Discounts For Each Manufacturer

What I'm looking to do is have discounts setup like this:

Website - http://www.westnewtonsupply.com

[B]Customer 2 - [/B]Fred Flinstone -  [B](Manufacturer 1)[/B] Wendy's Rubble 15%
                               [B](Manufacturer 2)[/B]  Barney's Stone 45% 

[B]Customer 2 - [/B]Wilma Flinstone -  [B](Manufacturer 1)[/B] Wendy's Rubble 50%
                               [B] (Manufacturer 2)[/B] Barney's Stone 10%

So each business will get a separate discount off each manufacturer depending on what I would choose for them..

Is this possible? Is there any plugin/module that will help me set this up easily?

This forum has been quite quiet lately :(

Cheers.

Re: Creating Groups For Each Customer With Specific Discounts For Each Manufacturer

I know there's a Tiered Pricing plugin that might work similarly. I think it's based on prices defined at the product level though, not way up at the "manufacturer" level.

Additional info that might help others give feedback:

  • do you ever offer sales/specials on your site?
  • how should this discount behave if an affected product is also on sale/special?
  • same with coupons ...

The way the site works is (or I'm hoping to get it working like is), I'll assign discounts based on business size / how often they buy from WNS. If they're a frequent buyer, I'll likely give them a better discount than someone who buys once every 8-12 months.

I basically want to be able to assign multiple manufacturer discounts per customer :(

Just had a bit of a plugin/google search, can't seem to find that plugin. Any chance of a link?
Thanks for all your help so far. I really appreciate it.

perhaps https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=154

Sounds almost like what I currently have in place and that didn't require any chances to the DB. The one I'm currently using lets you choose 1 discount group for each customer where as I want to be able to place a customer in multiple groups.

Re: Creating Groups For Each Customer With Specific Discounts For Each Manufacturer

I think that one requires you to add group prices for each product on sale.

What I'm looking for is a way to have an across-the-board group discount but also to have a way not to offer group discount to one specific product (it is being sold at such small margins that the discount would mean selling at a loss).
