Discounts

[vizo]

Discount prices are shown in catalog but not calculated on one-step checkout page? Did i configure something wrong or it's a bug?

Can you please write the discount details?

Is this a simple discount for all products, or discount with filters?

Hey,
I'm sorry for responding so late, i was quite busy those days.

I think it is filtered discount .. like 10% on all products, but just for one group of users. If i log in as this user which is in group with -10%, i see correct (discounted) prices on products, but not when i make checkout .... there are normal prices.

But this was just fast solution for me....

What i really need and i think it's very useful for other Axis users too is:

To implement feature to define discount by formula (not fixed amount).
So instead of putting fixed percent amount or fixed amount in currency, to add another option to put discount formula for example:
You want to give 20% discount of your margin (not of final price) on every product:
%cost% + ((%price% - %cost%) * 0.8)
So Axis would just replace variables with values and calculate it.

So why i think this is good for? For now it is like this:
Some product cost me 4, i have price 5... and i give 20% on price .. and i lose money.
And another product cost me 1, have price 5, i give 20% on price, i still earn 3.

I know it is possible to define different discounts for different products, properties and so on... but this would take too much time if you have a lot of products in store (not to mention that cost of products goes up and down, so you must correct discounts every time and be very careful not to give too much discount)...

I think is more useful to give discount depended on your margin (more you can earn, more you can give) and not on your final price.

I would like to help you to implement this, but i don't know Zend Framework so good :( But as i think, it shouldn't take a lot of effort? Sorry if i am wrong :)

Thanks in advance, keep up the good work. I think Axis is the best opensource shop out there :)
