Choosing Discount Mods

[shris]

Hi.

 

I have read a lot of contribution descriptions lately, and they're kinda running together in my head. I could use a little advice.

 

Here's the situation. I have products for sale, low priced. Folks can buy them one-by-one, or by the hundred or more. My web site is the only way to get them at the moment, but I am hoping that small retail outlets will want to carry my products, thus needing wholesale pricing. I also want to offer retail customers quantity discounts.

 

Retail Customer: No discount one-by-one, graduated % discount based on quantity (levels to be determined, right now I'm using 10, 50, and 100-piece discounts). Quantity at the moment is per item, not per total quantity, but I can be flexible on this.

 

Broker Customer: Flat % discount regardless of quantity. Probably equivalent to the largest % discount a Retail Customer can earn.

 

Wholesale Customer: Flat % discount, regardless of quantity. Much larger discount than either of the others can earn.

 

I'm also interested in coupons and the like.

 

The basic question is this: Will Credit Class & Gift Voucher give me the ability to do all of the above relatively simply? The most important part is that the quantity discount and the flat rate discounts not be mixed.

 

Members Discount would give me the ability to give each user a specific discount rate, which would satisfy the Broker and Wholesale customers. Quantity Discounts would handle the Retail folks. But I am worried that installing both would result in compound discounts for the Wholesale and Broker customers, which I don't want. I would really like to install one thing that would handle them all.

 

I appreciate any advise or guidance you can provide.

What you have described fall under the umbrella of Pricing conditions/scales found in many supply chain solutions.

 

The issue with OSC contributions, as you stated, is there are many pricing contributions focusing on different functionality. Many of which are altering core OSC tables such as the 'products' tables.
