NEEDED: Quantity Price Breaks Per Product (*Mix & Match*)

[gdfwilliams]

I recently installed the Quantity Price Breaks Per Product contribution. The installation was well documented and went smoothly.

 

After installing it, though, I've discovered a need to broaden its function. While it works as advertised on individual products, I want to apply quantity discounts across products in a category.

 

In my case, I have a category called "Soaps" that contains 6 bars of scented soap. Each sells for $4, but you can get 3 for $10. (Really, it's 3 for $9.99, $3.33 each when qty >= 3)

 

My challenge is that Qty Price Breaks applies the discounted only price when 3 or more of the same product is purchased, regardless of whether the other products in the cart also share the same qantity discount.

 

1 Soap A/B/C = $12

3 Soap A/B/C = $9.99 ($3.33 each)

 

1 Soap A

+ 1 Soap B

+ 1 Soap C

-------------

TOTAL: $12 (I want to make it $9.99)

 

 

I'm developing a site for a friend and really want to address this issue. We have some (limited) development funds, so I MIGHT farm it out, but I'll try getting my hands dirty if anyone has any suggestions on how best to start.

 

If you have any ideas to get me started, or if you'd like to propose a quote, I'll contibute all development back to OSC.

 

Thanks,

Old news.

Directions on how to do that are allready in Quantity Price Breaks for Separate Pricing Per Customer although there are some errors in it:

 

There is one in the class PriceFormatter and the other one in includes/classes/shopping_cart.php around line 50 (only a problem when you work with attributes, but still).

Janz,

 

Thanks so much for your help. I was able to hack the SPPC Qty Price Breaks into my site.

 

Question: I'd like to exclude a product within a category when its SPECIAL price < its Qty Price Break price.

 

Thoughts? Thank you again.

Price Break Easy Updater

You were not installing the Quantity Price Breaks Per Product contribution, you were installing a terribly insecure script that is supposed to be used to update prices and price breaks for a large number of products in one go (last addition to Quantity Price Breaks Per Product page, July 21, 2006). Anyone in the world who finds out about the name and place of your admin folder and asks for the file fastpricebreak.php will get this file and the possibility to empty and or subtly change (more insidious) your prices. Better leave it alone.

 

Why somebody wants to promote his shop so blatantly in this way is something I don't understand either <_<

 

I don't think there is a thread for the QPBPB contribution in the Contribution Support forum but your question shouldn't be in this thread either, really.
