Product Code: WCW-VOLPRICE
Price: Check Latest
Discount your product prices based on the number of items ordered of identical products, eg 1-3 = standard price, 4-6 = lower, etc. The admin interface provides an easy to enter "from - to cost" format. You can literally have as many ranges as you want to type in. You can either use actual values or percent of price to be subtracted from the product price. These price differentials are added directly in the admin interface under the product edit screen. You only apply these price differentials in the products that you want to use them.
This module applies the price in your low, high, cost groupings. If you do not include a grouping at the single item level, it will use the method for pricing in your store. It only activates if you include a low, high, cost grouping. For example:
6|10|12%
11|20|14%
21|999|16%
The module only uses price groups when using the percent off discount calculation. If you enter fixed prices for the quantity ranges, then price groups are ignored. Keep in mind that the percent discounts will be over and above the discount already given if you are using price groups.
The percentage discounting method subtracts the percent discount from the base price. To apply the percentage, simply include the percent symbol (%) in the line. If you are using cost method for your store (other than price groups), you will not be able to use the percentage discounting method. Instead, use the actual value method.
If you are using another third party module which overrides prices in the basket and recomputes them using the price in the product record, you will not be able to use this module. Other third party modules will not recognize that it needs to apply the calculations in this module.
The module recognizes identical products. Hence different attributes will change the product enough that the discount won't apply. For example 3 red shirts and 6 blue shirts will not give the discount of 9 shirts. Rather, they'll get the discount rate of 3 for one of the line items and 6 for the other. The module for the compiled version of merchant DOES have the ability to amalgamate quantities so in the example above as long as the product code is the same, all 9 items would get the volume discount for 9 items. You have the option for each product code to amalgamate quantities or treat varied attributes as different products.
You can optionally include a table on the product (PROD) and category (CTGY) screens displaying the rates as generated from the products' volume discount record. You can optionally have a quantity input in that table display. These options are configured through admin.
Compiled version features (Merchant 4.14 and newer). New in the compiled version is compatibility interface with the OpenUI Tokens and Viking Coders product template module. Place the table display on the product page so that it better fits your desired look. New configuration options added for the table display. Also, included the ability to display the lowest price in place of the standard price when volume pricing effects the product, the store is using the OpenUI, the store is version 4.14 or higher, and there are no other 3rd party modules effecting the price display.
