Discount not working

Thread began 7/17/2019 12:39 pm by lr_leal239405 | Last modified 11/21/2019 7:39 am by Ray Borduin | 1174 views | 12 replies |

Discount not working

Discount not working
My discount is not being triggered: I want it to work as: If quantity of item between 6 and 10, then 5% discount for that item (should apply to each exact item).

I have :

//eCart Rule
function WAEC_eCart1_QuantityDiscount() {
$totalDiscount = 0;
if (true && ((sizeof($this->Items) >= 6) && (sizeof($this->Items) <= 10))) {
$totalDiscount += ($this->TotalColumn("TotalPrice") * 0.05);//Result
}
return WA_eCart_FormatNumber($totalDiscount, $this->ForceDecimalsC, $this->DecimalPlacesC);
}

I noticed in the eCart object editor, for 'Discounts', there is no Condition option for 'Total number of items in the cart with same ID'

Otherwise it works with condition: 'Number of items with a specific column value',

But, I'd have to do so many items (hundreds) with differing discounts for differing amounts.

I hope I'm not confusing you. Sorry and Thanks again.

I found the answer on my own posted question titled 'eCart object - applying Discounts' from years ago where I asked the same questions (:.

(Ironically it was this date - July 18).

The answer:

you will need to create 2 separate discounts for this, the first one for 5 - 9 items:


Name: 5-9 items
Triggers:
"Subtotal For Any Column"
If the subtotal of column "Quantity" is ">" a value of "0"

AND
"Subtotal For Any Column"
If the subtotal of column "Quantity" is "<=" a value of "9"

Calculation:
"Based on cart subtotal"
cart Subtotal "times" "0.3"


the next one for 10 or more items:

Name: 10 or more items
Triggers:
"Subtotal For Any Column"
If the subtotal of column "Quantity" is ">=" a value of "10"


Calculation:
"Based on cart subtotal"
cart Subtotal "times" "0.5"

I have it as Condition 'Subtotal for any column' and the three levels of discounts (5% for 6 thru 10, 10% for 11 thru 20 and 15% for over 21), and it works fine, but same issue I'm trying to resolve is, I don't want the discount to apply to another items where there's only one of that item. I'm trying to change it to Calculations 'Based on column subtototal' (thinking that will work), but it keeps reverting to 'Based on the cart subtotal'.

1) Will what I'm trying to do work?
2) Why does it keep reverting back?
3) If it should work, what should the code look like instead of this:

//eCart Rule
function WAEC_eCart1_QuantityDiscount1() {
$totalDiscount = 0;
if (true && (($this->TotalColumn("Quantity") >= 6) && ($this->TotalColumn("Quantity") <= 10))) {
$totalDiscount += ($this->TotalColumn("TotalPrice") * 0.05);//Result
}
return WA_eCart_FormatNumber($totalDiscount, $this->ForceDecimalsC, $this->DecimalPlacesC);
}
//eCart Rule

I think you are going to have to use a combination of calculations and rules to pull this off.

I think you could add calculations:
qty_discount = (([Quantity]>=5)?([Price]*0.3):0) + (([Quantity]>=10)?([Price]*0.2):0)

Then your calculation for the discount rule would just be the subtotal of the column "qty_discount"

This would give 30% off for 5-9 and 50% off 10 or more.

ok. I'll try that later. I actually spent the whole day repeating the function below for each ID (180 items x 3 discounts = 540 functions). (Wish I knew how to program better) I did it directly on the eCart1_PHP.php file though. It works, but let me see now if what you sent me will do it. Thanks.

//eCart Rule
function WAEC_eCart1_QuantityDiscount1() {
$totalDiscount = 0;
if (true && (($this->ConditionalTotal("Quantity", "ID", "1") >= 6) && ($this->ConditionalTotal("Quantity", "ID", "1") <= 10))) {
$totalDiscount += (floatval($this->GetInfo("1", "TotalPrice")) * 0.05);//Result
}
return WA_eCart_FormatNumber($totalDiscount, $this->ForceDecimalsC, $this->DecimalPlacesC);
}

Now, my bosses want me to make it, so that thru our Content Manager, they can add the discounts themselves (: ....uugh! I will probably need your help on that later on. It would have to be able to edit the file eCart1_PHP.php.

We can do it from a database table so they can update it from their admin control. I can show you how in a screen sharing session... it shouldn't be too hard to pull off. Just make sure they tell you exactly how they want it to work so we don't have to redo it. How we implement will depend on their exact specifications.

Thanks. I hadn't seen your reply. I will be starting this soon and will post back.

Coming back to this finally (having to deal with it). I will add a While loop that just increments the number on the eCart1_PHP.php file. Let me know if you think that will have any negative implact on the eCart. Thanks.

I'm not sure what purpose that serves. I'd just back up the file with the same name.
