Bulk discount
Page: Products >> [product] >> Prices >> Bulk discountIn this section, you can configure discounts based on unit numbers. You can define bulk prices and/or percent discounts. The prices and reductions are connected to a price list in which you can set the validity period and the customer or customer group; see Price lists.In the table you can display and edit two price lists at the same time. This lets you compare, for example, lists for different currencies or periods of validity.The icon to the left of the drop-down menu shows whether the price list is currently active. You can click this icon to call up details for the price list being displayed.Note: The price lists in which the current product is already included are marked with an asterisk *. This gives you a quicker overview of which price lists are associated with the product.Note the following:
- You can set both a bulk price and a discount for a quantity. If you offer both bulk pricing and a discount, the bulk price will be charged first and then the discount is subtracted; see Discount calculation for product prices.
- The discount entered last effects all subsequent list entries if no other discounts are entered. To remove the discount on subsequent entries, enter a 0 in the next discount field or the affected discount field. The following example in Figure 7 should explain this:
Figure 7: Bulk discount for productsIf the customer purchases 10 products, each product costs $21.95. The total price for these 10 products would be $219.50.
If the customer purchases 20 products, each product costs $21.95. For the total product sum ($439), a 10% discount is provided ($43.90). The total price for 20 products is then $395.10.
If the customer purchases 30 products, each product costs 19.95. The discount from the previous entry is still valid. For the total product sum ($598.50), a 10% discount is provided ($59.85). The total price for 30 products is then $538.65.
If the customer purchases 40 products, each product costs $16.95. The total sum for the products is $678. 0% discount is entered. Therefore, the 10% are no longer valid. No additional discount is provided. The total price for these 40 products would be $678.
