Title: Question about discount configuration
Post by: slike on February 02, 2016, 19:40:47 PM
Hi there,

I have a problem with discounts where there are colour options.

Example 1: I order more than 5 units selecting one colour, I receive the discount. This works.

Example 2: If I order 1 of each colour for a total of 5 units, I do not receive the discount. This does not work.

Can Virtuemart be configured so that a discount is applied when the order matches Example 2?

Thanks
G

Hi GJC, thanks for replying.

We have it set up as a 'string custom field' according to my developer.

We're also running J3 with latest VM 3.0.9

Thanks

if it really is a custom field string it shouldn't have any effect on the product.. this is just a label ..

I think your dev hasn't told u correctly

And also the latest VM version is 3.0.12 - 3.0.9 was really a test/development version.

I've updated to latest VM and still no joy.

Discount total totals don't appear in Discount column on Cart page and Discounts are not applied when ordering 1 of each color for a total of 5 items which should be discounted when 5 items are orders.

Ordering 5 of 1 color does discount correctly but also won't appear in Discount column on Cart page.

Any insights into what we're missing her?

Thanks
G

Seems you use the multiple product pricing, so the system cant combine the different products. If you want to use this, you need rules per category and the quantity plugin.
