Pre-purchase question: Variable item specific discount

  • I apologize if this scenario becomes a little confusing, but I also am trying to wrap my head around it. The task assigned involves discounts based on total number of items in the cart, but each item in the cart will receive its own specific discount based on how many items are in the cart. Here’s a couple possible scenarios:

    Scenario 1
    10 items in cart
    4 Mangoes (3% discount on each mango)
    3 Tomatoes (5% discount on each tomato)
    2 Peaches (4% discount on each peach)
    1 Onion (5% discount on the onion)

    Scenario 2
    7 items in cart
    4 Tomatoes (3.5% discount on each tomato)
    2 Mangoes (2% discount on each mango)
    1 Onion (4% discount on the onion)

    In other words, the more items added to the cart, the more the discount per individual item becomes.

    Is this type of pricing discount possible? Thank you for your time!

    Hi

    Thank you for reaching out. I understand the scenario.
    This is possible, but i have a question:

    Does the discount varies for every product or category or per variant?
    This would help us guide you in the right direction.

    The discount is product based. So even if one were to buy just tomatoes, the discount is based on the total number of items (in this case, only tomatoes) in the cart. It’s an unusual scenario, but it’s currently the plan for setup.

    Thank you for the response. Really appreciate it.

    It is possible to achieve this via our plugin. You might have to create one rule per product.
    You will have to create a bulk quantity type discount and set up the ranges like

    1 to 2 quantity – 1% discount
    3 to 4 – 2% discount
    and so on.
    Here is an example: https://www.evernote.com/l/Ajx7O55jugZPWa42UTFbrgCFg13YjO5jbpg

    NOTE: The count should be set to “Individual product” so that the discount is applied per product quantity count.

    Also, if multiple products share the same discount percentages, then you can just create one rule for all those products.

    Example: Product A, B, C and D get the following discount range:

    1 to 3 – 2.5%
    4 to 6 – 3%

    Then it is sufficient to create one rule and add all these products to that rule. If you can group such products, then you can achieve this scenario with just a few handful of rules itself.

    You can try this using the free version itself as it comes with a bulk quantity discount type.

    Please try the free version and see if it helps you ??

    Thanks
