show savings or discounts on bto pages

We have had no other requests for this feature. It seems rather specific to your business. Unfortunately this is not something that we plan on working on in the near future.

If this feature is really important to your business, you should consider hiring a Web developer such as Greg or Sean (who took time to review and reply to your messages above) to apply the code modification.

However, we should note that the Build To Order configuration pages in ProductCart are very complex: they contain some of the most complex source code in the entire application as there are all sorts of calculations happening in real time as prices change. So what might seem a small code change to you, might actually not be that simple to implement.

Hi JWL,
    The complexity of the solution you need depends significantly on the complexity of your requirement. To build this in as a feature of ProductCart would take significant effort in design, coding testing etc as we would need to make sure it is robust, flexible and meets the needs of the majority of potential users of the feature.

If your requirement is simple - e.g. always show a discounted price 3% less than the calculated total price, then the coding involved is not nearly as complex.
If you want it to vary by product, examine discount tables & their applicability, vary by customer type, etc etc, then the complexity ramps up very rapidly.
  

Here is what I am looking for, I just need a code to calculate 97% of the regular BTO price, in real time to diplay as a "discounted price" which the customer can get if they use a coupon code, so the discounted price doesn't need to be integrated into the add to cart feature... I just need it to tally the discount in real-time so the customers can see what the discount will be if they use a coupon code.

I also want a floating menu, like this: http://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/20-001-Intel-Dual-Core-PC-95p486.htm - which shows the updated pricing while you scroll down the bto configuration page.  Developers please PM me your bid for this project, thanks!
