show savings or discounts on bto pages

   hi... would it be easy to show a regular price and then a discounted price on the bto pages?!  also, what about two running totals - one regular price and one that is a discounted price... for instance, if we wanted to do a 3% discount, that total would be on the config page as well.

	I'm having a hard time trying to understand exactly what you are looking for here. Would you mind trying to explain it again in a bit more detail?

	For instance, on the bto configuration pages... instead of having the base price and total price... you have base price, customized price, and discounted price - which would have a real time coupon applied to it by percentage such as 3% OFF. Default Price: $1392.00 Customizations: $0.00 Price As Customized: $1392.00 Discounted Price: $1350.00

	Thanks, I've a much better picture of it now. Question: Where is the "real time coupon" coming from? And when is it applied?

	The real-time coupon is applied while you configure a bto product.... it deducts from the regular price and gives a real-time discounted price - I have seen this on tons of other shopping cart software, I'm surprised pc doesn't have a feature like this. maybe it could be built into the admin panel's product page, where you can input the discount amount to be deducted either by dollar amount or percentage.

	Does anyone think this would be hard to do?! I just need something to calculate the discount, I don't need it to deduct the discount from the actual price, meaning the regular price can still be used when the customer adds the item to cart... the discount price, just shows the price they can receive if they use a certain coupon code. So I just need maybe a .js or something to deduct a certain percentage from the regular price in real time as the customer configures the different bto items.

	JWL, this may be beyond the scope of what anyone can help with in the forum, but it may be achievable if you hire a developer to dig in and get it done. You may want to contact a couple developers and see what they say.

	EI any chance you can add something like this as a feature to PC in the future?! I see this feature on lots of inferior shopping cart solutions - seems like PC should have it.
