System of Discounts

Discount system in Hikashop not functional. I have extensive experience in the development of the system of discounts in retail. If developers have the desire to develop a system of discounts - I can write the requirements for Hikashop.

Hi,

I didn't understood everything, what do you mean by the "Discount system in Hikashop not functional" ?

For the best discount system requires such entities:
- The interaction of the rules of discounts (type of addition, multiplication, displacement). The reaction is conveniently represented as a tree, where the discount rules - the leaves of the tree, and the interaction of the rules - the tree nodes.
- Discount rules (type: the percentage discount, the amount of discounts, gift) consist of rule conditions, the application of discounts (type: the whole basket, the selected product category (row)), and the way to use the discount.
Methods of application may be enough (eg, greater than the number on the excess amount to a multiple of the amount by multiple sum, etc.)
Methods of application, if necessary, describe later.
In addition we would like to have a custom rounding for the amount of a basket to the application of discounts could receive an amount without cents (important for cash payment)

Ok,
I think that those "Feature" are already available through your discount/coupon configuration screen . Here is more information about the discounts feature.

Capabilities of existing discounts in hikashop very limited. I know this because subsystem developed ERP system of discounts for online retail supermarkets
If you think so, please explain to me, for example, how to set up a $ 5 discount on every item in an amount greater than 3?

Possible application of the rules discount (discount amount or a percentage discount or a gift or a special price):

Without conditions
Discount when the quantity is
Discount when the quantity is more
Discount when the quantity is less than
Discount for quantity equal to
Discount for quantity more
Discount for quantity less
Discount for quantity multiple cycles of
Discount for quantity of cycles
Discount for quantity of multiple
Discount for quantity is not a multiple

Discount when the amount is
Discount when the amount is more
Discount when the amount is less than
Discount for amount equal to
Discount for amount more
Discount for amount less
Discount for amount multiple cycles of
Discount for amount of cycles
Discount for amount of multiple
Discount for amount is not a multiple

Interaction of discounts such as "multiplication" (multiplication of discounts, for example (10% * 15%) are not the same as (10% +15%), relevant for the type of discounts%) is incompatible with the interaction of discounts such as "minimum" or "maximum" which are more popular. Therefore, the "multiplication" of discounts can be abandoned in favor of the interaction of "minimum" and "maximum"

I think that you'll be able to do it by using auto loaded coupon (you'll just have to turn on the Auto load in cart if possible option ) with the "Minimum number of products" set to 3, then your coupon will be auto loaded in your cart if you have more than 3 products in it

Some of these discounts can be done by using auto loaded coupon

However, you have a lot of trigger in Hikashop which can be used for the development of specific cases.

With the coupon you can make a $ 5 discount for quantities greater than three, and I need to make a $ 5 discount on every item. Percentage of it can not be done because it turns out the price of a penny.

The solution would just be to create an loaded coupon for each case like if :
- You have 3 product in you cart you'll have to set the flat amount to $15 for a Minimum number of products of 3
- You have 4 product in you cart you'll have to set the flat amount to $20 for a Minimum number of products of 4
- You have 5 product in you cart you'll have to set the flat amount to $25 for a Minimum number of products of 5
- You have 6 product in you cart you'll have to set the flat amount to $30 for a Minimum number of products of 6
- You have 7 product in you cart you'll have to set the flat amount to $35 for a Minimum number of products of 7
- ....
Or you can do it by developing something.
