Price based on Quantity

[neveryonas]

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!

neveryonas, I do know there is a 3rd party plugin developed already for this.

s soon as the vmart store is open, itwill be available.

If its enabled in the plugins.

THEN; u go into "tax and calculations"

Click NEW. Then you will see the plugin at the bottom.

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

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 created a manual http://virtuemart.cloudaccess.net/images/stories/virtuemart/product/plgvm_istraxx_quantity_manual.pdf

[webiedesign]

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

it appears that you are missing the operation field, the modus & the overwrite values

[webiedesign]

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.
