Hello,

I'm having problems with defining certain discounts in the Discount
Manager and I don't see any solution.
This is my case.  My catalog is build up with different courses.
When a user books a course for 1 person he gets 10%.
When they book it for 2 or 3 persons, they all receive 10%.
So far this is not a problem.
The problem comes when they book for 4 or more persons.  Then it all
changes and they receive 0% for the first, 12% for the 2nd and 15% for
the 3rd, 4th, 5th... person.
How can I define these discounts correctly in Discount Manager?

Hi Vanhoka,

This sounds like a complex situation that you'll need to implement several
discounts for to get the behavior you seek.
To get the 10% off for the first 3 people, you can use the same discounts
that you're currently using.
To get the special behavior for 4+ people setup the following:

Buy 4 items get 0% off, basket limit =1, reuse conditions as conditions =
true, reuse awards as awards = false
Buy 4 items get 12% off, basket limit =1, reuse conditions as conditions =
true, reuse awards as awards = false
Buy 4 items get 15% off, basket limit =0 (unlimited), reuse conditions as
conditions = true, reuse awards as awards = false

Make sure this second group of discounts has higher priority (lower number)
than your first set of discounts.

I've tried it doing this way, but it's still not working.  Perhaps it has to
do with the way I configured the 10% discount (Buy 1 item, get 10% off, awar
d
limit = 0) ??
Even when I drop the 10% discount, the discounts are not what they are
expected to.
Any help please ?
Thank you,
Karen

Hi Karen,

Can you describe what the discounts are doing and all the settings for each
of them?

Thanks,
