discount issue

[lazyeye]

Hello,

Say I want to offer a 30% discount off the second item bought from a given product category.

Product groups have the 'apply only one discount per order' box checked.
The discount is based on quantity with trigger set to 2. Then I have '% off' as reward type and 30 in the amount field.

What it does is take the first two products ordered from a group and applies the 30% discount to the sum of their prices. And that's not what I expected.
What I want is

first product (full price) + second product (30% off full price)

which is not the same.

How would I go about setting this up.

Hi,

Would the '% of cheapest' reward type help?

[lazyeye]

nope.

The closest would be '% off extra item' or something like that. But that next item has to belong to the same product group, which does not appear to be possible because the discount configuration won't let me select the same group.

Hi,

I can't see any way to do it other than using the '% off cheapest' reward type. This is what most retailers do.

[lazyeye]

most retailers probably but not my client.


Anyways, we've sorta worked something out.
