Volume pricing at the category level. Easily offer a fixed discount (not percentage) based on the number of items in the basket and the categories those items are in.

Features:
- Discount based on number of items ordered
- Set up to 4 tiers of discounts per category group
- Can have 8 groups (each containing one or more categories), each with 4 different discount tiers
- Category wide, multi-category or store wide discounts
- Optionally apply discount after other discounts have lowered the subtotal
- Discount shows at checkout as separate line item
- Optionally display updated discount in basket prior to checkout if using compiled OpenUI
- Can use wildcard instead of entering category codes for the group
- Can exclude a single price group, e.g. Wholesale, from receiving the discount
- MMUI and OpenUI compatible

Feature Details:
In admin, the store owner configures the trigger levels (number of items needed to activate the discount) and the corresponding fixed amount off. The store owner can designate 1 - 4 trigger levels so that he/she can vary the discount based on the number bought. Reward the customer; the more the customer buys, the higher the discount.

The store owner then includes a list of category codes that will be used in the calculation. Use this module for category-wide or store-wide fixed discounts. If using store-wide, make sure the discount doesn't exceed the price of the potentially summed products. If using category-wide, make sure the discount does not exceed the price of the lowest priced product in the category.

The discount amount will appear during checkout on the screen after the customer has entered their shipping method.

Additional features. In admin you can setup eight separate groups with their own four-tiered discount and categories. Hence, if you want to discount one category of products with one set of rules (levels) and another category with a different set of rules, you can now do this. Multiple categories can be assigned to each group. As the basket is scanned, the discount is applied based on each group's rules, then summed together at checkout. If you are using the OpenUI, you can optionally display the updated discounts prior to checkout in the regular basket screen, recalculating and updating discounts based on changing basket contents. In admin, you can choose one price group, e.g. Wholesale, which is not eligible for the discount since they presumably already benefit from significantly lower prices. You can use the asterisk (*) to replace the category codes. When the module encounters the asterisk instead of category codes, it considers all further products eligible. As example, the asterisk in the first group would make all products in the store eligible for the discount. On the other hand, category codes in the first group would apply the first group rules to those categories. Then if there is an asterisk in the second group, all other products in the store would use those discount rules.

MMUI and OpenUI compatible. No editing of mv files required for either user interface for standard functioning. Optional display in the basket before checkout requires OpenUI. Configuration is setup through Merchant Admin.

We also have the corresponding module for the 5.x version of Merchant.
