Pricing attribute question

I would like to make my store where on certain products, if you buy two quantities of the same item at a time, that the second quantity would be 50% off. How would I do that?

Also, I would like to make it where if you spend $200, then you get a free bottle of your choice (the store is for selling vitamins).

Thanks alot.

Re: Pricing attribute question

There is the Products Price Manager ... and on there are the Discount Qty ...

This can hold 1 to unlimited Discounts per Product ... however, this is a Discount based on a given Product and not mixed Products at this time ...

I'm trying to set this up and don't fully understand what to do. Can you provide more detailed help?

I don't need to worry about mixed products so that's not a problem. All I want is for certain products that I have, whenever the user buys two of that item, the second one will be 50% off. It can't be that complex. Just new to all of this.

Thanks.

Re: Pricing attribute question

If the Product Price is $100

And Red is +$100

Then you set the Product Discount Quantity on 2 to 50% off

Then you set the Attributes Discount Quantity to:
1:100.00,2:50.00

This would give:

($100 + $100) * 1 on 1
($50 + $50 ) * 2 on 2
($50 + $50) * 3 on 3

I'm sorry but I'm still unclear as to where this is. I've looked throughout the products manager, etc and still don't see where I'm supposed to input values like the ones you listed.

I'm such a n00b at this.:(

Re: Pricing attribute question

To set Discounts on Quantities for the Product and the Attributes ...

Make a Product and set the Product Price to $100.00 and all the other settings ...

Go to the Product Price Manager ...

Hit Edit ...

Where you see the:

Add 5 Blank Qty Discounts:
Add 5 Blank Discount Qty
All 0 Quantity Discounts will be removed when Updated

Hit the button for:

Add 5 Blank Discount Qty

You will now see 5 blank discounts ...
Select the Discount Type: Percentage
Select the Discount From: Special

Enter the Minimum Qty and Discount Value:
2 50

Hit Update ...

Go to the Attributes Controller ...

Say you wanted to add Color Red and make it $100 for qty 1 and $50.00 for qty 2 and above ...

In the Attributes Qty Price Discount enter:
1:100.00,2:50.00

The results would be on adding to the cart:
Qty 1 Half off with Discounts $150.00 $150.00

Qty 2 Half off with Discounts $100.00 $200.00

Qty 3 Half off with Discounts $100.00 $300.00

Re: Pricing attribute question

Thanks for your help.

I finally got it to work. Sorta.

It wasn't working with the way you presented it.

I had to go in and define Actual Prices for multiples of products. No biggie, since it gives me the desired effect.

The only problem now, is how it displays. My client doesn't like how it displays. He wants it to show in the Shopping Cart that one item was full price while the other was 50% off. What it is doing now is showing two items at about 75% of the cost. The total equals the same, but he doesn't like how it's showing. Any idea how to change that?

Site is https://www.gburkett.com/store btw if you want to look at it. (Yeah, yeah, it's an ugly setup, but that's what he wanted. :( I made it look alot nicer at first, but that's what he wanted, so oh well)

Thanks!

Ajeh:

Take this product for example:

http://www.gburkett.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=25

I want it to show one product at full price and the 2nd quantity to be at 50% off...instead of what it is doing now. The result is exactly the same, it's just the displayed output needs to be changed if possible to what my client desires.

Thanks

Re: Pricing attribute question

Anyone have any ideas?

I'll even pay to get this issue resolved. If this requires coding or whatever, I'll pay for it do be done. The client has to have it this way.

Thanks.

Re: Pricing attribute question

Go to Products Price ...

Edit ...

Set the Product Price to 49.50

Set the Discount to:

Discount Type: Percentage
Discount Qty: 2
Discount: 50

This shows me:

Qty Discounts Off Price
1 $49.500
2+ $24.750

This shows me:

It displays the same for me as well. However, what it does for me is then set both items at the 50% off price. If I were to buy two items, the final price would be 49.50. Because it's making any quantity 2 and above at 50% for each item. Which isn't what I want.

I want one item to be 100% and the second to be 50%.

Does that make sense? Am I making sense in what I'm trying to describe?

Re: Pricing attribute question

I would like some help from Ajeh,
Hi there, Oba-san, I am trying to setup a sort of payment scheme, in that if they cannot pay all at the time of purchase, they pay 40% then and the rest arranged to pay with 3 monthly payments separately from the zc system.

I am trying to do it with the Price Factor but I have tried all sorts of things with priced by attributes etc..

I want to setup a drop down attribute with that choice of delayed payment and zc should, with price factor, take out the 60%, but it does not seam to work with negative factors and the factor is not shown like the other attributes in the product.
Price factor works with positive numbers but it still does not show in the product page attributes.

Can you help? Is it possible to achieve what I want? and possibly how can I do it?:smile:

Thanks in advance
Franco

Re: Pricing attribute question

I'd have to see how you have your products setup to really tell you more about how to use the Price Factor ...

It works better on Products not Priced by Attribute as it uses the lowest priced attribute(s) on the Price Factor ...

Using it based on a Product Price is easier as that is a fixed amount to base the calculation on ...

Many people think their products are Priced by Attribute when actually they are a Product with a price and attributes with additional charges or reduced charges ...

But without really seeing your products and their prices it is hard to break this out ...
