Quantity discounts (price breaks) is showing wrong price
Question
I have set up quantity discounts for an item, but when I view it on the front end I just see the single item price for each quantity break. The basket shows the same price too. What is going wrong?
Answer
Quantity discount pricing is per item. So the prices for quantities above one should be lower than the single item price. This way you do not need to specify a price for 1 item, 2 items, 3 items, and so on. You can specify a price for 1 item, a price for 2+ items and a price for 10+ items, etc.
CactuShop will look for the best discount to give the customer. If your quantity discount pricing has higher prices as more items are bought, CactuShop will use the lower single item price instead and ignore the quantity discount settings because they are not giving a discount.
To rectify this problem, just remember that the pricing is per item, and so ensure that the price you offer for multiple items is always lower as the quantity purchased increases.
