Does anyone know how to set up a price rule that will take a straight % off of the total sale for all products in the store.
I tried to set up a price rule to do this, but I could not figure out how to specifythat the sale percentage reduction was on all products without setting up each one individually. Anybody got any thoughts? |

Yes - a good start is to add the Cart Price Rules module that allows you to handle this and it is pretty intuitive.
Checkout page 196 of the manual to work it out as well. I found it pretty helpful.

Not sure I follow this response ... I looked it up as well and nothing. Page 196 isn't about Cart Rules.
I'm trying to do something similar. I need to add Insurance to the CART totals. ie. if the cart total is 100 (add $1.20) If the cart total is $200 (add $2.40), etc.
I didn't mean to hijack this thread, but I think we're trying to achieve the same thing. A GLOBAL rules based on cart total ...
Do I need a PRICE rule before I setup a CART rule. A CART rule cannot be created without specifying a product. I want the rule to apply to the cart, not a specific product. |

Yes, I too need to do something similar. I want to give multiple level discounts at the shopping cart. i.e. If someone buys >$1000 they get 5% discount, >$1500 they get 10% discount.
I see nothing in the manual that addresses this.
Can you give me a sample of the code? |

Hey there the solution to your problem for a multiple tier discount for the price of items, it would be to seperate the formula by commas so that it would look something like this.
1000-1499.99=-5%, 15000-=-10%
The pricing comeing first then the ammount that comes off seperated by the comma and then your other forumula.
Im still looking for an answer first part of the question in this topic, is there an easier way to to apply this rule to all the items in the cart or all the items without having to add them individually, it would seem like a big mess to have to add the rule to each individual product when there is going to be alot of products on the site, and the rules would change so often.
It seems that when you do add the rule it wants to be applied to a single item. I think that it should be as easy as clicking "add cart rule" adding the rule above giving it a name (and not having to deal with a product id because it should be applied to the cart).
An answer soon would be very much appreciated as we have clients waiting for a site thats been overdue waiting for this store module.
Thanks much

Hey calling out to all, is anyone out there who can answer the question on the cart discount? I have a client beating down our throat to get this site up and would very much like to not have them beating down our throat. There has to be someone out there who has encountered this problem and knows some workaround to it? Maybe a different module or something in admin that i'm possibly overlooking?

It would be good to see a webinar in action, but I am just going to put in my two cents here - when we do cart based discounts we set a rule that is role based - eg.. everyone gets X amount - eg.. -5%. We never handle things manually or it would take a week of Sundays but I had a situation where the customer wanted to put the prices up across the board, but you have to select the categories you are adding the price rules too - that is how we have done it. now Darren - which EST time zone are you talking about?  - I'm in Australia EST and I think that's different to your EST.

I'm in North America EST (-5hr)
My solution wasn't complicated. I create a coupon, and used it in a cart rule for everyone with a rule like 0-999999=-5%
I also needed to apply insurance at different cart totals so ... 1-100=+1.60;101-200=+3.20 ...
Its easy once you get the hang of it.
Nina, am I missing something with my solutions? |

OK - I'm EST AU - GMT + 11 Hours - it's 2.35 am here atm .. i am not going to answer any more posts after this.
I guess the interpretation is slightly different, but it sounds like your'e doing something that is product based with number ID whereas I used roles and categories. However, the insurance is another element to it which i have not used.
I would be interested to see your solution - perhaps you can put a link to it online for those of us who may miss it.

I have installed the module CAT_PriceRules and adjusted prices for all users by adding the formula +3%. It works fine - all "base" prices (price1) are showing up correctly, however the special prices that are set for some products until end of february do not display at all.
I found this quote about Prices from the CatalooK Administrator User Manual:
”Highest priority is given to the indication of a price rule from module CAT_PriceRules followed by special prices for a certain period...”
So it seems the price should first be raised by 3% followed by a discount as stated by the special price for a certain period.
...or am I reading this wrong? |

I think I have the solution - finally...
It seems that as soon as a price rule is defined in the module CAT_PriceRules no Special Prices as defined in the products themselves are shown. So you have to use the module CAT_PriceRules to set up the same special prices as a price rule for it to work.
That'll work nicely!

Hey everyone its Steve
I tried messing around with the coupons once again and got a little bit closer then before. Thing is how to I apply the coupon now. I made it through the steps in the manual about createing a coupon then applying the formula for what I want taken off if a customer buys so much of a certain item. Thing is im lost at where to apply this now for the customer or if it can be automatically applied. Any guidence from anyone would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have to think about this - I know they can be applied automatically but there is also the coupon code you provide people with that they put into the product on the product details page that will apply the discount.
Is that what you are wanting to do - or do you want the discount applied completely automatically? i can't see how that would work - you might as well assign a discount to the product for that one.

Hey there
I believe product details page is where I was for the coupon to be applied the product details page, but its also where I got the error message.
What i'm trying to do is get it so that when a customer buys a certain price of things say $1000 dollars of any product mix and match they will get 10% off of the total. When I enter the coupon however in the test buy, the coupon brings up this error code saying that it can not be applied to this product.
Having the customer apply the discount or having it applied automatically dosnt matter as long as the discount comes off. Whichever way would be the easiest for a client to buy the item would be the best.
Thanks much
Steve |
