Shipping and Discounts

I am having a hard time figuring out how to add shipping and discounts with ecart. My goal is, if someone buys 50 or more of any products, then the price drops from 4.95 to 1.25 but there will be a $.14 shipping added on. I would like to keep them separate as shipping and discounts. I think i found a way to get the discounts to work by saying:

Number of items with "Price" of 4.95 >=50

Based of the cart subtotal
Cart subtotal times .74747474

This works but seems kind of like a work around and i can not get shipping to work. I am not sure how to read most of the calculations of triggers. Can anyone help me?

Got it to work

Figured it out the shipping.

Shipping
Subtotal of Qty >=50
Based on multiple of column subtotal
Subtotal of column Qty times 1 times .14

I am still having trouble with discounts. I can't use the percent as it will not always adjust the price to 1.25 but fractions around that. Any ideas as to how to make the price 1.25 and not use percentages?

the discount amount will 3.7 for each item.
do you want the discount to only apply to items that cost 4.95?


if so, set the calculation of the discount to:
Based on items With A Specific Value:
total of 'Quantity' where 'Price' has a value of '4.95' 'times' '3.7'

I did something like this and it worked rather well.


Based on items With A Specific Value:
total of 'TotalPrice' where 'Price' has a value of '4.95' 'times' '.7474747474'

I know the decimal might be affected but added up to 5000 items in the cart and the price remained at 1.25. It took me about an hour to figure it out thou. Thanks for your response Jason.
