How to Achieve Individual Component Discounts?
Is there any way to discount individual product components? Or does anyone know a decent work around?
Basically we sell raw materials in different sizes e.g. 10g, 50g, 250g, 1kg - I've set the different sizes up as components of the product (the raw material). I want to set up a discount so a customer, for example, buying 4 different raw materials in 10g size will get the cheapest product free. However I don't want the same discount to apply when they buy 4 x 1kg - so I can't just apply the discount to the whole product.
For stock monitoring purposes the size components are actually set up to use hidden products and I'd hoped that I could apply discounts to the hidden products and then use 'Associated Product Pricing' in the component permutations to have the discount work when those products were used as components. But unless I'm missing something this doesn't seem to work.
I can't just display the sizes as individual products because the site would be very repetitious and just littered with products - each raw material has at least 5 different sizes and there are well over a hundred raw materials.
Any suggestions?
