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.
