Istraxx Quantity Plugin review/question/opinion

[starten]

Hello,
I want to convert the web shop http://www.aimantsneodyme.eu/ to a Virtuemart shop
I need to make a discount table for example:

Discount scheme:
1 = € 12.50 p/u
2 = € 12.00 p/u
10 = €11.45 p/u
20 = €11.25 p/u

So I am interested in the quantity plugin.
http://extensions.virtuemart.net/extensions-virtuemart-2/quantity-related-calculation-detail
BUT I have the following doubts & question.

I haven't seen any working example of the istraxx plugin yet? Not a demo, not one site!
Why is this? So is it working or not?
Who can show a working version?

I see also a lot of people who can't get this to work (even with the instructions) .
If I want this to work for the given table above. What should I enter step by step?  (I don't understand the 2 page manual either).

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Show me the people who did it not get to work. As far as I know everyone got it working and if not, he should please write here. Did you read the reviews?

Dear Milbo,

one quick question about Istraxx plugin.

I need to provide quantity discounts for all the products of some categories.
for example
i have a category pencils with various products in it.
The discount i want to provide is that if someone buys more than 5 pencils of any kind then a discount is applies.
is that possible by istraxx?

[Milbo]

Imho yes,

the quantity extension just extend the normal pricing rules. So you can make it category depended. So it works for all pencils of a category. But it wont calculate 5 different pencils together, hmmm, intersting idea of course.

Is the Quantity Discount plugin open source, so we can customize it as needed?

Milbo,

Yes the plugin works fine, but how do I display the amount conditions.

i.e I would like the price label to change so price would look like this,

1-10 £3
11-20 £2 etc

How is that achieved?

Dear Milbo,

I have just bought this plugin and i encounter some errors.

I believe that is probably derived by bad config by me but i cant find a private email for sending support ticket.

The errors are two. should i post here or send in any email or support ticket?

Hi,

I have just also bought this plugin thinking it would allow me to discount different products in the same category, seems like it won't do that?

(IE someone orders 4 or more of any products in a specific category they get a discount off all of them)

I could do this in VM1 using a plugin that was available but I can;t find anything similar in VM2 - could you let me know if this is possible and whether this plugin will allow this and I just haven't set it up correctly?

Cheers,

Dave
