Bulk Discount Question

    I’m trying to set up a fairly simple discount for bulk purchases and I can’t seem to get it to work correctly, and I couldn’t find a similar example on your Website.

    I simply want to offer a 10% discount if the buyer purchases 2-5 items.

    This can apply to any items in the store. All items are unique, and I have no product variations.

    One item = full price.
    Two items = 10% off of the total for both.
    Five items = 10% off of the total for all five.

    How do I set this up? I clicked on Bulk Rules, but I’m not sure what to do next.

    I think I’ve figured it out.

    I added a product filter, selected “product categories” from the dropdown, and added a category, “Items” that includes every item in my store.

    I then added a Bulk Rule, chose “Qty based on all matched products” and “Percentage discount.”

    I added a range from 2-5 and set the discount to 10.

    I was confused earlier when I saw that everything in the store was shown as being on sale, but I realize now that this does not happen until I put a second item in my cart.

    If my cart has 0 or 1 item in it, everything in the store is full price.
    If I add at least 2 items to my cart, everything shows as being 10% off.

    Am I understanding all of this correctly? Is there a simpler way to do this, or did I do it correctly?

    Hi

    yes, you did it correct.

    If I add at least 2 items to my cart, everything shows as being 10% off.

    yes, this behavior confuses other users too. Read this topic https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/prices-bug-when-adding-one-or-two-products-to-cart-with-discounts/#post-11270911

    We’ll add checkbox to disable it in next release.
    thanks, Alex

    The checkbox will be helpful. I may wait until the next release to add this discount rule.

    Thank you for your help.

    I thought the check box would apply only to bulk discounts, but it looks like it applies to everything.

    I tested this new version, but now it removes the sale price from the product page for ALL discounted products, and not just those eligible for bulk discounts.

    I always have one product category on sale, and I would like for my customers to see that those products are discounted.

    But for bulk discounts (10% off if you buy 2 items, for example) I thought changing the price of everything in the store once you have one item in your cart might be confusing for buyers.

    Perhaps it is best for me to leave the box unchecked. I think it will be less confusing for buyers that way.

    I’m sorry for misunderstanding you. Please, submit ticket to helpdesk, we’ll try to solve it later this week.

    Hi there, I’ve setup a rule to provide a % discount on products on 2 different categories, but when I add products of different categories (including the ones that I’ve added the rule to) to the cart all of them gets the discount.
    Is this a known bug?
    Thanks

    hi J

    Could you share the screenshot of active rule ?
    thanks, Alex

    Hi Alex, thanks for the plugin!
    I guess I wasn’t using the rules properly ??
    It’s working like a charm.
