discount question

[web@ack]

Hi

I have got an interesting situation to say the least and could do with some advice.

We are building a store for a customer. One of the sections in the shop is going be for seminars they run for people to book and pay for them online.

Now the interesting part!

basically, if one place is booked on the course, the cost is £55, if two places are booked, the cost is £55 for the first person and £47 for the second. If three places are booked, the cost is £55 for the first person, £47 for the second and £40 for each extra person booked on that course. Also if one person books on several courses, the same rule applies, if they go on one course, it will cost them £55, if they book for 2 courses, the cost is £55 for the first course and £47 for the second, etc..

Could do with some advice realy on best way to go about it. I supose really it needs to tot up the number of courses booked for, charge £55 for one, £47 for another and then £40 for the rest. Or if theres a way of charging £55 for each course and then applying some way to apply a discount? this would do the job.

Any thoughts and advice welcome

Hi,

I have not totally understood the discount system for V7 so there may be a way to do that. However using a hidden product and price model using sum of components you could achieve this.

BUT through this method you would have to spread the cost across each booking, you would not be able to get the first at £55 and the second at £47, you would have to charge both of them at £51. A bit messy but could work. If it helps have a loo at the following threads Price structures and discounting and Buy two get one free/quantity discounting.

Anyway I hope it may be of some help.

Can you do the following:

Go to any product and go to the prices tab.
There you will see the main price listed, if it's a normal product. This would be £55.

Click the + sign in the top left.
Add your discount price total for 2 courses (price per course) and in the field that says 'Min' enter 2. This would, I guess, be (55+47)/2 = £51.

Click the + sign again.
Add your discount price for 3 courses (each - ie, 55+47+40)/3 = £47.30). That lowest total would apply for anything greater than 3. Enter '3' in the Min field.

You could keep adding higher qty's as you need.
