I am trying to use discounting on a specific set of products as a workaround for multiple shipping costs. Let me explain. I have a third party who charges me a fixed shipping cost. While equipment I supply directly is shipped by weight.
To overcome this I set the 3rd party products to ship seperately and at a weight I would never use (1000kg). This works fine. The problem comes in when I have multiples of the 3rd party product and I am charged a single shipping cost (same as one product). I end up charging multiple shipping costs.
To address this I created a shipping discount that uses a trigger to discount a fixed amount for each product in 3rd party product group. The problem is that if I set the trigger to 1, then the discount always applied, even for a single product. If I set the trigger to 2 then the discount applies for every 2 products or multiple of 2.
What I basically want to do is charge the fixed amount for the first product and then discount for each additional product ordered from that group.
Does anyone have any ideas how to do this. I am using V7 Business.
Thanks
