If such a rule concerns more than a single product, you can't use price rules. Just remember: price rules happen pre-cart, promotions happen in-cart (using all items in the cart, and are totally recalculated when the cart changes). -David On Mar 1, 2007, at 10:04 AM, Jacques Le Roux wrote: > Jacopo, > > Quick answer : perhaps as it concerns products and not order you > should > better use prices rules ? > > Jacques > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jacopo Cappellato" <[hidden email]> > To: <[hidden email]> > Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2007 3:08 PM > Subject: Help to set up a promotion > > >> Hi all, >> >> I'm having hard time to set up the following promotion: >> >> "If product A and product B are to the cart, then apply a 20% >> discount >> to product A and a 20% discount to product B" >> >> Example: >> product A: unit price $100 >> product B: unit price $200 >> >> if they are both added to the cart: >> product A: unit price $100, adjustment $20, line amount = $80 >> product B: unit price $200, adjustment $40, line amount = $160 >> >> >> I tried to implement it with one promo with two conditions: >> >> cond 1: "X Quantity of Product", "Is", quantity=1 for "Rule >> Product"=A >> cond 2: "X Quantity of Product", "Is", quantity=1 for "Rule >> Product"=B >> >> and one action: >> >> action: "X Product For Y% Discount", quantity=1, amount=20 for >> "Action >> Product"=A,B >> >> The problem is that: >> >> a) the above promotion is never applied >> b) if I use one condition (instead of the two above) the 20% discount > is >> applied to one of the product only and the amount is then splitted >> and >> assigned to the two items in the cart!!! >> >> Here is an example of it: >> > https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/catalog/control/EditProductPromo? > productPromoId=10000 >> >> You can test it by creating an order and adding product "A" and >> "B" to >> the cart. >> >> I've also tried to setup two different actions or to setup two > different >> promotions with the same rules but one action each (one for A, and >> one >> for B), but without success. >> >> Any hints? >> >> Thanks, >> >> Jacopo > |

So, what you want is a promotion for buy A and B get 20% off both. I don't think we have a promotion implemented like that. You can see in the actions what your options are, like buy X of certain products get 50% (or 100%) off of one of them, or the Gift With Purchase where it adds a product with a certain discount to the cart, etc. What happens with the rule you setup? I guess it may do nothing, I'm not sure if it is designed to handle that, but you can always walk through the code and see what it is/isn't doing (ie see if the conditions evaluate to true, and see what the action tries to do). -David On Mar 1, 2007, at 7:08 AM, Jacopo Cappellato wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm having hard time to set up the following promotion: > > "If product A and product B are to the cart, then apply a 20% > discount to product A and a 20% discount to product B" > > Example: > product A: unit price $100 > product B: unit price $200 > > if they are both added to the cart: > product A: unit price $100, adjustment $20, line amount = $80 > product B: unit price $200, adjustment $40, line amount = $160 > > > I tried to implement it with one promo with two conditions: > > cond 1: "X Quantity of Product", "Is", quantity=1 for "Rule Product"=A > cond 2: "X Quantity of Product", "Is", quantity=1 for "Rule Product"=B > > and one action: > > action: "X Product For Y% Discount", quantity=1, amount=20 for > "Action Product"=A,B > > The problem is that: > > a) the above promotion is never applied > b) if I use one condition (instead of the two above) the 20% > discount is applied to one of the product only and the amount is > then splitted and assigned to the two items in the cart!!! > > Here is an example of it: > https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/catalog/control/EditProductPromo? > productPromoId=10000 > > You can test it by creating an order and adding product "A" and "B" > to the cart. > > I've also tried to setup two different actions or to setup two > different promotions with the same rules but one action each (one > for A, and one for B), but without success. > > Any hints? > > Thanks, > > Jacopo > |

The general idea with these sorts of promotions is that each quantity of each item can be used either as a qualifier or a benefactor of the promotion. My guess is that addPromoQuantityCandidateUse is returning 0 because the two items are already use up as qualifiers, and therefore can't be benefactors. So, this is a case where you would have to write a special promo action to handle the scenario so that the items are both qualifiers and benefactors. There are some others that are like that. -David On Mar 1, 2007, at 11:42 AM, Jacopo Cappellato wrote: > David, > > thanks for your answer, please see my comments inline: > > David E.

Great, glad it worked out. So did you end up creating a new action, or changing the way the candidate counting works? I guess I'm mostly wondering if there is an enhancement that could go in to make this easier for others in the future. -David On Mar 7, 2007, at 2:07 AM, Jacopo Cappellato wrote: > David, > > this message is just to let you know that your hints about how to > implement a new action to handle this kind of promo turned out to > be of great help. > > Thanks, > > Jacopo > > > David E.
