If you want to use quantity pricing, you need to set the following option in your shop configuration:
|
xquantityprices |
Setting this to Yes tells VPCART to use quantity-based pricing. |
Note: This feature adds additional overhead as VPCART needs to check the database every time the quantity for an item is changed to recalculate the price.
Each time the customer alters the quantity of a product;VPCART looks for the product by catalogid or category in the quantitydiscounts table. If it finds a record, it alters the price based on the ranges set in that table.
Using this method, VPCART will not group products to apply a discount. If you want different products to be treated as a group, you must also set the following Software Configuration option.
|
xproductgroupdiscount |
Setting this to Yes tells VPCART to group products before calculating a quantity discount. Products are grouped using the Discount group (groupfordiscount) field in the products table (for example, all products with “shirts” in the groupfordiscount field will be treated as one group). |
