It is a common feature of
many transactions to provide discounts for quantity to encourage bulk
purchases. Sometimes this is referred to as 'price breaks'.
Kartris has a flexible quantity
discounts system that allows unlimited price breaks for any quantities
specified. This is set at version level (since it is the version that
holds the price info).
Simply click to edit a version, and then click the 'Quantity
Discount' tab.
Enter the
quantity break point, and the price for purchases of that number or
more. Note that the price you must enter is per item, so prices should
go DOWN as the quantity goes up.
Make sure you enter the discounted price PER ITEM, and not for
the total number of items.
If quantity discounts are
available, the user will see a link for quantity discounts on the front
end when viewing the product.
If a user adds 5 items into the basket (below the price
discount level) and then later adds a further 6, the system will
automatically pool these together and apply the discount from that point
on. Similarly, if a user adds 10 items (with discount) and then removes
one from the basket, they will immediately be recalculated at the normal
price.
