I agree. It is very confusing for everyone trying to figure out discount amounts, and cash discounts.
Customers have been trained to "Buy One Get One" and "Buy One Get the Other for $$", but PC makes you have to do math, or worse, create more products.
The only time people like "percentages" or "discounts off" is when it is a single item. The way PC works now it forces both the web master and the customer to think hard about what the deal really is.

It realy would be much easyer if the CP just had a feature allowing you to have buy 1/2/3 whatever and get a number of whatever products free. I would like to be able to have buy Q number of X products and get Y number of Z products free or at a discount.

My approach is to use a category based discount with a banding of 3 products and a 33% discount. (see menu > Marketing / Quantity Discounts By Category). So you could set up a 'Our 3 for 2 sale' category and associate the chosen products with it (which could be all of them). cheers Mark |

I'd also like to set up a buy 2 get one free sale, but cannot figure out how to make it happen without the customer having to come back twice.

My apologies for not replying. I was cleaning out my mailbox and came across your last message. The discounts I use are pretty much hidden and in the form of coupon codes so you wont really see much, but here's the site address anyhow. www.eveningsecrets.com |

Hi Rick
Thanks for the feedback. I'd love to see your site and see what you've come up with. I just went ahead and created simple specials that are easy to create within PC. 10% off, free shipping, etc. You can check it out at www.funnyfotocards.com Thanks ed |

Hi Ed, actually I never got it to do what I wanted but came up with some other ideas using the features provided that customers seem to like. Offering them a free product over a certain amount (needs coupon code). One way around it if you make the total amount required the same as 3 items (Buy 3 get one free). Bundled products would work I think if you don't have apparel products. Since I use apparel products I can not use the bundle feature since the customer has to select a color or size( this feature should be implemented for all users, providing selection boxes where the bundled products are displayed). Right now it's a feature I cannot use. Sorry I could not have been of more help Ed. Take care. Rick |

Hi Rick This has been a major thorn in my side. It's such a useful feature I was sort of dumbfounded when I realized I couldn't do it. I've tried figuring it out based on percentage discounts but that doesn't work. I'll go see if I can work something out with the cross selling/bundled package features. I'd love to know what you came up with. Thanks ed |

Mark, I was able to use your ideas to accomplish a compimise between what I wanted and what I get I overlooked the bundled discounts altogether and with the cross selling feature things are looking pretty good. The downloads I misunderstood. My site does not use downloadable files, but I was hoping I could set one of my apparel products as a download but not treat it like a file. I'd still like to see a feature that allows the admin to simply set a product to give to a customer for free when they spend a certain amount. Once this requirement is met it is automatically added to the cart, or on the verify order screen if not an apparel product. Once again thanks for all your input and nice job on your site. Good luck in the future. |
