Alternate method of adding discounts?

I maintain an osCommerce site for a client. He is getting hassle from his suppliers at the discounts he is offering. The complaints apparently originate from competitors. The issue is only for one or two brands and only for some products in those brands.

To resolve this, he has to display the full RRP (recommended retail price) but offer a cash back or voucher scheme which gives the customer the same net saving.

 

My original thought was to hack the various display pages so that when one of the affected products is on special, I would display the full price and mention the discount as a cash back offer. As soon as the product was added to the cart then the special price will take effect. This was to keep things as simple as possible and involve as few code modifications as possible.

 

Another version of the cash back scheme could involve adding the cash back as a discount item to the cart.

 

Has anyone had to deal with annoyances like this?

Has anyone alternate idea on how to implement this? I'm very open to ideas, no matter how crazy.

Is it possible to add multiple items to the cart in one go? will product_info.php accept multiple add_product actions?

Is it possible to specify the price of an item when adding it to the cart? The discount would be a percentage and obviously differ for each product.
