Urgent Help Needed to provide Quantity Discount for Photo Print Sizes!

Hi,

I need urgent support for Easy Populate Standard or a solution that will permit me to apply quantity discount to multiple products at once . I am currently setting up a shop front for a Printing company using Zen cart. The company have four main print sizes. Each Print Sizes will have 1000+ products with quantity discount.
I need to find a way of creating bulk quantity discount for each of these print sizes.

The first print size retails at $7.50 for the first print and 50 cents for each additional prints. An easy calculation of $7.50 + (Quantity * 0.5).

The second print size retails at $10 for the first print and $2 for each additional prints.
The third print size retails at $12.50 for the first print and $4 for each additional prints.
The fourth print size retails at $12.50 for the first print and $5 for each additional prints.

I have investigated how I could configure categories with specific quantity discount but this has not worked. I am hoping to get advice about how I can modify PHP codes if necessary or use Easy Populate to achieve this.

Thank you in advance
Jules

Make each size its own category. Use discount by category, but then use the apply_special_category_discount() exit to add customized discounts for the last three sizes. See the documentation on my home page; many examples are provided.

Hi,

Thanks for the post - How do I use discount by category? And where do I add the "apply_special_category_discount() exit" to add customized discounts for the last three sizes?

I will also look at your documentation on your home page; many examples are provided.

Re: Urgent Help Needed to provide Quantity Discount for Photo Print Sizes!

I have had a look at Quantity Discounts 1.5 and I can't find a way of applying discounts to different categories. I have since decided that the Price Manager bulk discount will suffice for what I need to do.

However, the price manager only allow for discount to be applied on an item-per-item basis. I am using Easy Populate to create all products (4000+) in the cart. Could you PLEASE provide me with information as to how I can create discounts for each product using Easy Populate?

Thank you in advance

Re: Urgent Help Needed to provide Quantity Discount for Photo Print Sizes!

Hi,

I am willing to pay someone to provide the needed assistance for completing this task. I have created quantity discount for a product which I am happy with. I need to create 4000+ products using Easy Populate to also create the quantity discount for each of the products OR any other viable method which will allow me to create four different discount types for each product's print size.

I will need the person hired to provide a step-by-step so that I can learn from this experience and update the site when necessary. My budget is $160.

Thanks
