Quantity Discount

Hi there,

N00b here...been spending time lurking around, felt a bit like a detective.

This has probably been asked a few times round, but I couldn't find an answer yet.

If I am selling greeting cards, min quantity 100, each unit there after 25.

First 100 sells at $2.35 = $235
Each additional 25 is $56 (original $58.75, so -$2.75 discount)

I tried doing it in attribute controller like this...

Onetime Attributes Qty Price Discount:
100:0,125:-2.75

Works as expected, however what about 150, 200, 250, or 1000?

Is there a way to put in a formula like total=100xprice+(price*25-$2.25)?

TiA...

Re: Quantity Discount

If you go to the Products Price Manager for your product (click the $ on the admin page which lists your products in that category), you can add discount quantity levels and varying increments and prices.

Re: Quantity Discount

Thanks Dr. Byte,

I've tried that before going to attribute discount.

On the Product Price Manager, the 3 types of discounts namely :
Percentage
Actual Price
Amount Off

are all affecting the unit price, not Total discount taken off, that won't work for me.
e.g.
if unit price is $4 for first 100, to apply $1 discount for every additional 25 units,
I need to select Amount off and entered :
Discount 1 / min 100 / Discount 0
Discount 2 / min 125 / Discount 0.2
Discount 3 / min 150 / Discount 0.3.666667

I would pay $4 x 100 = $400
I would pay $3.8 x 125 = $475
I would pay $3.63333 x 150 = $544.9995

which is going to be rounding error hell, plus calculation is based on 2 decimals too. The problem lies on calculation won't keep the first 100 @ $4/pcs.
(Or is there another way to do this?)

Also I have additional attributes that has it's own quantity discount, that's why I skipped qty discount on Product Price Manager all together.

Help? :no:
