Volume Discount based on Subtotal

[daviddavis]

Hello,
I need help with volume discounts.
I have this broken down into two phases of what I am trying to do.

Phase One
Provide a volume discount based on the SUBTOTAL of a cart such that anyone purchasing $750 to $1249 gets 10% off and anyone purchasing $1250 or greater gets 20% off. I am hoping to do this with the existing volume discount system in Able.

Is this possible "out of the box"?

Phase Two
Notify the customer in the upon reviewing their cart prior to checkout that if they spend $X more they will receive $X discount (based on the above calculations).
I suspect that some custom code would need to be written to do this.

Are there any AC experts that can do this in a reasonable amount of time?

I appreciate your help.

Thank you,
David D.

No the volume discounts are note available at cart total or order level. One possible solution to give the discount in this case would be to make use of the coupons.

Phase Two
Notify the customer in the upon reviewing their cart prior to checkout that if they spend $X more they will receive $X discount (based on the above calculations).

As i suggested the use of coupons for phase 1 so the solution for phase 2 is also regarding the coupons.

Code: Select all

CouponCollection coupons = CouponDataSource.LoadForStore();
        LSDecimal cartTotal = Token.Instance.User.Basket.Items.TotalProductPrice();
        Coupon nextCoupon = null;
        foreach (Coupon coupon in coupons)
        {
            if (coupon.CouponType == CouponType.Order && coupon.MinPurchase > cartTotal)
            {
                nextCoupon = coupon;
                break;
            }
        }
        if (nextCoupon != null)
        {
            LSDecimal diffAmount = nextCoupon.MinPurchase - cartTotal;
            Response.Write(string.Format("spend {0} more and get {} discount", diffAmount, nextCoupon.DiscountAmount));
        }

Hi Mazhar,

Thank you for your help on this!

My apologies, I am not strong in ASP.

What does this code do exactly?

Would the customer have to manually enter the coupon that applied to his volume order?

Thank you again for your help,

The above code was to show the next available coupon which customer can get after spending some money.

Yes, but if you want to automate this process you can customize the onepagecheckout and put some code which check the order total and then apply the proper coupon automatically. Have a look at the following post.

Good news. We've figured it out. With the volume discount there is a setting under the store configuration in the Dashboard. This allows you to change from line item to group by category and then when we selected global for the volume discount it was applied based on the subtotal of the cart. I put together a quick video here:

I hope this helps.
