Easily offer an automatic discount based on the basket subtotal. Use this module for storewide sales and high purchase discounts at checkout. Increase the discount percentage at higher subtotals to entice customers to spend more. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features:
- Discount based on subtotal of the order
- Set up to 10 tiers of discounts
- Store wide discounts
- Optionally apply discount after other discounts have lowered the subtotal
- Discount at checkout shows as a separate line item
- Can exclude specific products from calculation of the discount
- Can change the discount to a surcharge, e.g. due to fuel or raw material fluctuation
Feature Details:
The default is to calculate all product charges (including attribute charges) to determine the total. You can optionally include non-product charges in the calculation. Then in admin, the store owner configures the trigger levels (amount needed to activate the discount) and the corresponding percentage off. The store owner can designate 1 - 10 trigger levels so that he/she can vary the percentage discount based on the amount spent. The store owner can even include a list of product codes that will not be used in the calculation. The discount amount will appear during checkout on the screen after the customer has entered their shipping method. This allows Merchant to take into account (optionally) any miscellaneous fees or coupons redeemed on the Shipping - Payment selection screen.
You can even use this module for a surcharge. As example, if your products have a fluctuating fuel or raw material charge and you want to pass that on to the customer, you can change the discount amount from a positive to a negative. So
instead of entering a discount of 10%, you would use -10%.
The module currently fully supports the mivasql configuration of MIVA Merchant 5. It also supports MySQL as long as load balancing has the data stored on the single MySQL server and
permissions are set correctly on the data
directories. This would be the case in most of the server setups. If you are using Merchant 5.x and your host is web.com, you will not be able to use this module due to the way they configure their servers. There are no known issues with
other hosts.
