Title: Need to create discount - Will Flexy Promotions Help?
Post by: flyn on June 23, 2014, 04:49:18 PM

On our regular website we have always had a discount called Tri-Pack discount.

If the same item is purchased in multiples of 3 then a dollar is taken off each item for a discount of 3 dollars. So the consumer saves a bit.

If purchasing 6 - 6.00 off, 9 - 9.00 off up to 12.

The math is price x 3 - 3 = discount price. Does the cart have this capability by default or will Flexy Promotions help in that regard?

Thanks

Victor -  did you give the Discount in Promotions within each product a try?   You can set up more than one price break for an item
 
orig price is 10.00 each
discount could be 3 items price is 9.00 each

When customer selects 3 -  their total is 27.00

If this isn't the solution you can work with,  then Flexy might be the way to go.

Thanks Lee. I did what you said and it works. I still will get the Flexy to expand on promotions but this is fine.

Is there a way to edit the default verbiage that appears when you add a QTY discount?

Glad it worked for you - Now for editing the phrase:

Go to system > Localization  > Language Definitions   type quantity discount  in the TRANSLATION box

Edit the field to say what you wish - 

(note:  you can usually type what you are wanting to change as in the case "quantity discount" in the search boz and it will give you a list -  just look for the area where the term is located - as in this one  product_product and it will get you to the XML to alter.)

When I add the Quantity Discount the following text displays automatically:  Order Quantity Price Per Item
3 $17.99

How can I change that verbiage? I need to shorten it so it stays on 1 line.

Thanks
