Volume pricing at the category level. Easily offer a discount based on the number of items in
the basket and the categories those items are in.
Features: (some features are only in the compiled version - see details)
- 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: The
default is to calculate product charges in the specified
category(ies) (including attribute charges) to determine
the subtotal to discount. You can
optionally include non-product charges in the calculation.
In admin, the store owner configures the trigger
levels (number of items needed to activate the discount) and the
corresponding percentage off. The store owner can
designate 1 - 4 trigger levels so that he/she can vary the
percentage discount based on the number bought. Reward the
customer; the more the customer buys, the higher the
discount percentage.
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 discounts.
The discount amount will
appear during checkout on the screen after the customer has
entered their shipping method. This allows Merchant to
include (optionally) any miscellaneous fees or coupons redeemed
on the Shipping - Payment selection screen so the subtotal will
be adjusted before the discount.
Additional features are in the compiled version of the module for
Merchant 4.14 and newer. 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 quantities are subtotaled
for each group. 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.
Configuration is setup through Merchant Admin.
