customer discount groups

Hi,

At the Dutch Joomla Days I talked to Nicolas about special discounts in our shop, but this is one situation I forgot

In our backend system we assign discounts in various ways.
One way is by "customer discount groups" who contain multiple customers with the same set of discounts.

---

example for group "men" :

customers "bob, chris and rob" are in the group called "men" and all get the discount for the products below
productnumber 110 - price € 10,00 - discount € 5,00 - result : € 5,00
productnumber 115 - price € 20,00 - discount 3% - result : € 19,40
productnumber 120 - price € 30,00 - discount 12% - result : € 26,40

This is a simple example but I'm looking for a way to make this work.
This way of assinging discounts is pretty standard in a lot of systems so it would be very nice to have a solution for this in Hikashop.

Any tips on this would be appriciated !

Nico

Hi,

I don't see a problem with that example.
You need to create 3 discounts via the menu Orders>Discounts, one with a value of €5, limited to the product 110 and with the access level set to "men", one with a percentage of 3, limited to the product 115 and with the access level set to "men" and one with a percentage of 12, limited to the product 120 and with the access level set to "men".

As you say, this is pretty standard in a lot of systems, including in HikaShop

Hi Nicolas,

It's a different approach but I'll give it a go and see if I can automate this from our backend system.
Great to have this solution, thank you !

You just made my weekend a busy one
