Hi,
Is there anyway to make the discount a positive number? I would like to charge a service fee of 10% to my orders. I can change the language file from Discount to Service fee, but don't see how to make the discount positive instead of the default negative. |

Hi,
Do you mean the discounts as can be set in the admin panel under Marketing > Quantity Discounts ? If so, possibly the easiest way is to set a positive discount, adjust your base price UP by 10% and swap the wording on the screens around. I've NOT tried it and you may need to experiment with wording, or even customizing the screen that displays the product prices to get it looking how you want it to. If this is not the correct discount then please let us know. As regards customer psychology - they always prefer to see a discount instead of a service charge, or, second best, just wrap the 10% service charge into the base price. Another option is to add it as part of shipping - but if customers don't become aware of an extra 10% until checkout then you are likely to have quite a high cart abandonment rate imho. |
