Offer a discount for bulk purchases of product X

This tutorial describes the steps to offer a discount for bulk purchases of a single product.

"Is it possible to create an event that gives a discount for bulk purchases? For example, could I create an event that occurs when 10 or more units of a product are added to the basket, and have the price of that same product be discounted by 10%?"

Overview
  • When a customer adds the designated number of units of Product X to their basket, the store will automatically apply the discounted "bulk" price to those products.
  • If the customer takes any of the items out of their basket, so that the quantity drops below the threshold, the discount will be revoked.
To replicate this type of functionality in your store, use the Event Engine Editor to create an event with the following Triggers and Results:


Triggers
The event trigger(s) should be set up as follows:

trigger 1 of 1
Trigger Type: product
Trigger Details: When 10 or more unit(s) of product SID 123 are in customer's basket

In the example above, change "123" to the SID of the product that the customer must have present in their basket to trigger the event.


Results
The event's result(s) should be set up as follows:
result 1 of 1
Result Type: product pricing
Result Details: The price of product SID 123 is decreased 10 percent

In the example above, change "123" to the SID of the product that will be discounted (which should be the same as the product used for the Trigger).


Setting up an event using the Triggers and Results above, will allow bulk purchases of a single product to receive a discount.
