If you want to give your customers a discount if they buy a
certain quantity that will apply to all of your products (not only product
group), thenyou can use this feature.
The difference between universal
quantity discount and quantity pricing (xquantityprices) is that xquantityprices
provides individual product or groups of products discount. Universal
quantity discount will apply to all products.
Universal Quantity Discount will work together with quantity pricing (xquantityprices).
To setup Universal Quantity Discount, you can do so by
setting up the following Software Configuration options and quantitydiscounts
table:
1. Set xProductGroupDiscount to Yes.
2. In your quantitydiscounts table, please enter the
field minquantity, quantity1, discount1, etc., as usual and
make surethe fields below have an empty value:
a. catalogid

c. groupfordiscount
This will then apply the universal quantity discount for all of your products.
NOTE : If in case you have 2 records in the quantitydiscounts table with catalagid, categoryid and groupfordiscount set as empty value, then VPCart will only use the latest record.
