Was this information Helpful?

Hi all, i'm just curious what others have used to apply quantity based discounts, is the workflow module the way to go?

I'm using Ubercart 2.x

The business rule I'm looking for is a quantity discount applied to product A, at certain trigger points, for example, 0-5, 6-10, 11-20, different discounts would apply.

Thanks for any tips,
Lu

Re: What's the preferred method of applying quantitty discounts

Interested, too. I was thinking crearting a product kit with two times the same product, which have different attributes (incense stick aromas), but I am not even sure whether this is possible.

I'd like to have a discount for any 3+ incense stick packages.

You should be able to do this with an order discount through CA using http://drupal.org/project/uc_discount and the product quantity condition.

Re: Re: What's the preferred method of applying quantitty discou

The only issue with using attributes is that it's a user-selected field, so a user would have to say, I ordered 3 or 10 incense sticks in a drop-down, even though they might have only ordered 1, i looked at the UC conditionals but they're not that fine grain.

Thanks for the feedback Ryan, i've looked at UC_coupon module, and it works pretty good, but I was hoping there was a more general way to apply quantity discounts. The coupon depends on a user entering a coupon code, and only applies to one group of products at a time, if the discount is different for different types of products.

If there's any other ways of doing this please let me know, otherwise i was going to spend some time with a programmer friend forking the UC_coupon module to being a bit more general-purpose, like passively applying discounts just based on product type / quantity.

Thanks all!
