Title: Price based on Quantity
Post by: neveryonas on February 18, 2012, 18:32:28 PM
Hello,
I am running VM 2.0 and Joomla 1.5.20. Trying to figure out how to set up an automatic way to calculcate the total price based on quantity.
Example
1= $10.00
2-4= $8.00
More then 4=$7.00

I guess one way would be to create child products, specifiying min and max quanity, but it looks confusing to the user, as they all are the same product. Is there a way to do this through the tax and calculation? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Excellent Now I see the product, how does it work..

You see this is why I am asking for documentation.

lets i am selling a widget for $10 / item
if the customer buys 10 items, then the price would be $8/item
but if they by 20 items, it would cost $5/item

all of these prices should be applied before taxes and ideally not effect the current cart variants.

how do i do this?

thank you in advance

This is 2 discounts, that need to be applied to the product.

So set 1 up.
pdf attached. THEN set another

Thank you Banquet

I needed more detailed information

I finally got through to Milbo (I know you guys arfe busy)
the problem was the first few downloads of this plugin did npot contain a readme file

he has since sent it to me

for those interested in configuring this plugin here goes:

Manual for iStraxx quantity plugin for VirtueMart 2.

INSTALLATION
1. Install the plugin with the Joomla Extension Manager 2. Enable the plugin named iStraxx Quantity with the Plug-in Manager


HOW TO USE IT
1. Go in VirtueMart administration, choose the menu Products > Taxes and Calculations rules.
2. Create a new rule. At the bottom of the page, the new calculation options are displayed.

Amount Condition: When you use the min/max option or the table, then this field is usually empty. You can enter a value with "=" or % to define different modes.
"=" means that the rule is only used, when the ordered amount is exactly the entered one. For example =5 is valid only when the product quantity is 5.
"%" is used for a modulo. This means that every quantity dividable by the entered value is valid for the rule. For example use %6 to give a discount for "six packs".
When you use the min/max limit, then you can create a table. The overwrite value is used then.



EXAMPLE 1
===> what do you want to do?
Want a discount of 2% for each 6 packs
==> how to do it
1. Create a rule with "Type of Arithmetic Operation" = "Price modifier after tax"
2. Use as Math Operation "-%"
3. Use as Value 2
4. Amount Condition Modus= 6%


EXAMPLE 2
===> what do you want to do?
Want a discount of 2%  for each 6 packs and quantity > 15 ==> how to do it 1. Create a rule with "Type of Arithmetic Operation" = "Price modifier after tax"
2. Use as Math Operation "-%"
3. Use as Value 2
4. Amount Condition Modus= 6%
5. set min to 15


When you use Amount Condition %5 and one row for the table with min=6 max=15 and no overwrite value, then only the quantities 10,15 are discounted by 2%.

Lets assume you set for the Amount Condition nothing and you add a table like this:
min = 5, max = 20, no overwrite value
min = 21, max = 50, overwrite value =5
min = 50, max = , overwrite value = 10
Then every quantity from 5-20 is discounted by 2% and from 21 to 50 discounted by 5% and more than 50 by 10%


Quantity rules working with the bill total will follow.

I purchased this plugin, but am having trouble configuring it to work as needed.
My product has a min purchase of 20, I have set this in the Virtuemart product status and set the product price to 6.07

My pricing structure is:
min 20 - up to 49 = $6.07 each
50-99 = $5.67 each
100+ = $5.07
I have attached the screenshot of the plugin, please tell me what I need to enter in what fields so this will work for my needs, thank you

Post by: rustle on March 05, 2012, 22:12:08 PM
it appears that you are missing the operation field, the modus & the overwrite values
Title: Re: Price based on Quantity
Post by: webiedesign on March 05, 2012, 22:20:48 PM
Thank you for the reply.
I have " - " selected in the operation drop down.
I have tried various number in  the modus & the overwrite values, but never got the proper results.
My best guess was to put a value of .40 in the overwrite values following the 50min/99max amount condition and 1.00 in the overwrite value following the 100min amount condition.

Th only other thing that I can recommend (and I forgot to mention above) is that with the 'rules & calculations', for whatever reason, requires a shopper group

for examples a bunch of the calculations on my site required a 'default' shopper group before they became visible in the cart view

if this does not help then I recommend contacting the plugin developer directly

good luck in your endeavor   8)
Title: Re: Price based on Quantity
Post by: webiedesign on March 05, 2012, 23:02:01 PM
Thank you so much ! That was the problem :)
I added the shopper group to the product and the plugin configuration, added .40 and 1.00 respectively and it works perfect now.

This is not the case with the latest version.

I dont have them assigned to shopper groups.

Max i m interested in using your plugin, but i have done also some other changes in my price model and need to know some info.
Is this using the price_quantity_start and  price_quantity_end of the #__virtuemart_product_prices table to generate the price?

Is it getting into account the existing products in the cart  when counting the quantity of the product?

Thanks

Dear people,

Just bought "Quantity related price calculation" plugin for a client and did not get any information about how to use this. So I was very glad to finally find this information on the forum. But: I also found out it should be compatible with Joomla 1.5 (that's why I bought it...) but not with Virtuemart 1.1.9 (and nearly all Joomla 1.5 sites are using Virtuemart 1.1.9...) So, what to do? Going to Virtuemart 2.0 is a too big operation I think. Money back? Possible? No way of knowing this as I do not see any contact link or whatever option to get t know something about this product. Some advice out there? Hope to get a refund.
Kind regards,
Meindert Jorna

1.1.9 has its own function built in, and then many other 3rd party add ons

Hello,

I recently purchased this plugin.

I want to set it up as a BOGOF - Buy 5 items get one free.
Works like a charm if you want to buy 5 units of the same product.
But I want it to be regardless of what 5 products.

Anyone has any idea how to set this up?

I tried adding a new unpublished category to all products, but you still have to buy 5 of each product.
I tried setting it up so that the discount will come after total bill w VAT. I think this would be my preferred option, having the total discount with explanation at the end.
Problem here is that it is always showing. Regardless if you buy any products or not.

I would be very grateful for any tips.


OH! And I want to add my contribution to problem solving.
If you ever want to have a decimal value in your discount, use a full stop (.) not a comma (,). Took me abut an hour of stupid trial and error to figure this out!

Has anyone got this working on 2.0.6?

I am using this on Joomla 2.5 and Virtuemart 2.0.6 and the one page checkout.

I have the plugin setup and activated.  I can't seem to get the discount to work properly.  Tryting to setup buy two get 50% off (to act like a buy one get one by "fooling" the system with the discount) on a category of products.

Do I have to assign a group and category?

Do I have to activate the rule on the product level or somewhere else in the shop or cart?

I have tried several different setups on the rules.

Trying again does anyone have a solution?

I want to have it setup like -  buy 5 products get one for free.

The discount works when buying 5 of product "A"
But I want the customer to be able to buy for example:
1 "A" 
1 "B"
3 "C"

All products are the same price so do not need to bother about this.

Apologies for the thread dig:

I've read alot  - it may be late - but I'm not getting it.

I wonder if you can help me set up the following:

Quantity from 1 to 20 priced at $2.00 << normal price.
Quantity from 21 to 60 priced at $1.50
Quantity from 61 plus priced at $1.00

Would be nice to be done in $$, percentage discount would work as well.

Hope you can help

Brilliant plugin - I've got a client on my back though.

NO,

this plugin is for multiple quantities of a single product.

I am sure someone will create one for what you are wanting.

I've purchased this plugin, and can't figure out how to set it up as follows:

Less than $500 - 0% Discount & add 20% of the total "after discount" for freight.
$500 - $999.99 - 5% Discount & add 15% of the total "after discount" for freight.
$1,000 to $2,499.99 - 10% Discount & add 12% of the total "after discount" for freight.
$2,500 to $4,999.99 - 15% Discount & add 10% of the total "after discount" for freight.
$5,000 and above - 20% Discount & add 5% of the total "after discount" for freight.

Also...

Orders less than $150 are subject to a $15.00 delivery charge "plus" 20% freight.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Title: Price Based on Mixed Quantity
Post by: adquarters on August 23, 2012, 20:31:44 PM
Hi All,

I am also having a similar issue. Hoping someone can help:

I am trying to have users get discounts on mixing different items in the same category.

Please help and take a look at this page:
http://www.adquarters.com/downloads/cmykBoxes.jpg

In other words they can order
10 of item ST007,
50 of item WD007,
12 of item LN007,
72 Boxes total.
And they would get the 51-100 quantity discount.

Can you please help!?

Thanks,

Sal

HI,

I am using Joomla 1.6.3
and VM 2.0.6

I created rules and all working fine, i created multiple rules for multiple products using one shopper group and all products in one category.

I created rule for each product (6 products, 6 rules) and select each rule for each products on "add product page" on admin.

Now the problem is all the rules are showing on checkout instead of only showing the rule for purchased product.

Can anyone help ?

Thank you

Title: Re: Price based on Quantity
Post by: jenkinhill on November 06, 2012, 13:52:45 PM
The aim is to have a solid and powerful VM core with those features that the majority of users require. This already gives a large component file, go much larger and many shared host users won't be able to install it easily. Then extend it by plugins which are a good way to add functionality and never to hack the core as used to happen with vM1. Some experienced users have written their own plugins, otherwise they are available from third party developers.
Title: Re: Price based on Quantity
Post by: luisch125 on November 07, 2012, 18:45:38 PM
Ok, good enough. I wasn't trying to argue here.  I missed that feature and find it useful, but now I know that it was not my fault not finding it on the new version.
