Discounts / Coupons Print Topic

There are two type of Discount features in PDshopPro, per Order Discounts (or Coupons) and Item Discounts (a.k.a. Quantity Pricing). To enable these discount functions, you must turn them on, see "General" setup in PDAdmin.

Order Discounts (Coupons)
This type of discount uses a discount or coupon code. With this type of discount, you can issue Discount codes to your customer. Your customer would simply enter the special code during checkout to receive a percentage or fixed amount off their order. To setup this type of Discount, click on "Add New" under the Discounts heading in PDAdmin's menu.

Discount Name
This is the name of the discount, mostly for internal purposes (ex. "Referral Discount")

Discount Code
Enter a unique code word that your customers can enter during checkout to receive this discount on their order.

Date Range
You can specify when a Discount code is valid. The discount is only valid when used during the dates you specify.

Discount Amount
Discounts are applied to the entire order amount (sub total). The discount can be percentage of the order total, a fixed amount, or a combination of both.

Order Minimum
You can specify a minimum purchase amount. The discount will only be applied to an order if the order sub total exceeds this value.

Restrict Usage
You can limit how many times a Discount can be used. For example, if you only want the first 100 shoppers to get this discount, check the Restrict Usage box, and enter 10 in the Max Usage field.

Item Discounts (a.k.a Quantity Pricing)
This type of discount only applies to a specific item, and is directly related to the quantity purchased. To setup this type of discount/pricing, go the the item's setup page, see the "Discounts" heading on the left side of the item page.

From / To Range
First you need to specify the quantity range so that PDshopPro knows when to apply this special pricing. For example, if you wanted to offer a lower price on your item if your customer buys 2-10, simply enter "2" in the "From" field and "10" in the "To" field. For ranges with no maximum limit, ex "Buy 10 or more", you would enter a "From" number of 10 and an very high number in the "To" field (ex, 9999).

Price / Sale Price
For each range you can specify a specific price (per each). The Sale price is used for the item if it is listed as "On Sale".

Discount Percent
For each range you can specify a percentage off (off the original price, listed in the item setup).

Message
By default, the Prices and ranges will appear in your storefront (just below the regular prices). In some instanced, you may not want the Quantity Range and Price to appear, you may want to enter a special promotional message. For example, "Buy 5 and get 10% Off". To enable messages, simply type the message in the Message field. To return the display back to normal, clear the message field of all text and click "Save"
