Volume pricing in fixed quantity increments

[chetv]

We have at least 50 products that we sell in individual quantities to consumers and sell them to wholesalers in case quantities at a discount of 50%. We have a price group that works, 24 up 50% off, however if possible I would like to restrict the input quantities for wholesales, specific customers that use this price group, to inputs of 24, 48, 72, 96 etc, increments of 24. They are not allowed to buy in broken case quantities for this discount.

Anyone doing this? How?

Re: Volume pricing in fixed quantity increments

One way to restrict the quantity purchased is to create a new product that's a 24-pack of the base product. Other than that, I think you're going to need a custom module, or maybe some template code. This can restrict the quantity to multiples of 24 when customers are putting the item in their basket, and also when they're changing the quantity of items already in the basket. If you're interested in this solution, you can drop me a line by email to discuss it in detail.

Thanks Kent. I came to the same conclusion. I was interested to see if I missed something.

You could modify the PROD page template to check if the customer is part of the price group, if they are output a select drop down vs a input box for the quantity.

<mvt:do name="l.return" file="g.Module_Feature_PGR_DB" value="PriceGroup_Load_Name( 'Test', l.pricegroup )" />


<mvt:if expr="l.return EQ 1">
    <mvt:do name="l.exists" file="g.Module_Feature_PGR_DB" value="PriceGroupXCustomer_Load( l.pricegroup:id, g.Basket:cust_id, l.pricegroupxcustomer )" />
</mvt:if>


<mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.pricegroupxcustomer:cust_id">
    <select name="Quantity">
      <option value="24">24</option>
      <option value="48">48</option>
      <option value="72">72</option>
      <option value="96">96</option>
    </select>
<mvt:else>
    <input type="text" name="Quantity" value="1" class="product-quantity-input textfield">
</mvt:if>

This module can also do what you're looking for without any coding.

Hey Brennan,

Has the app been updated to work with the groups array yet? Any update on the category minimums module?
