Minimum Price & reduction higher quantity

Hi,

I'm sorry if this has been covered somewhere else, but I need to know two different, but related things..

1) Can I can reduce the price of an item when someone buy more?..

i.e.

I want to set-up a cart on a wholesale clothing website where if they buy 25x hoodies the price is £25 each, however if they buy 100x of the same hoodies the price automatically reduces to £22 each... how can I do this?..

Also..

As part of the same cart (for the same hoodies) I also need to set up a minimum order, but still need to allow the customer to be able to chose how many they order...


i.e.

They need to be able to order 72x hoodies (or any random number) if they wish, BUT they CAN NOT order any less than 25x Hoodies..

How can I do this as well?..

many thanks in advance!..

(Sorry if these questions are dumb, i've not used ecart before!)

yes, these things are possible, but a little more information is needed.

Does this apply to hoodies as a catagory? or to a particular hoodie product?

if it applies to the category, you need to add a column to the eCart object for item category to mark each item for the category it belongs to.

Then you could create a discount using the trigger:
Number of items with a specific column value

to trigger on the number of items where category is = to hoodies

in your example, the discount will be £3 each (£25 - £22), so set the calculation section of the discount to use "Based on items with a specific value:
Total of "quantity" where "catagory" has a value of "hoodie" "times" "3"


to force a minimum, you would need to do some hand coding, you would need to add an if statemetn around the checkout button on the cart display page, something like:

<?php if($this->ConditionalTotal("Quantity", "category", "hoodies") >= "25") { ?>

checkout button here

<?php } ?>
