Magento

How do I configure the multi-tier pricing such that it works on configurable items?

Example:

Configurable product: T-Shirt A $20

Simple products:
1. T-Shirt A Color Red
2. T-Shirt A Color Blue

Tier pricing: Buy 2 @ $15 each

This works only if the customer buy 2 red T-shirt or 2 blue t-shirt but not 1 red + 1 blue.

Is there anyway to configure this? Thanks

I have just come up against the same problem. I was wondering whether to set the product up as configurable or grouped product but configurable was the only one that let me enter a price so I chose that one.

Unfortunately the discount was not applied so it seems as if the system is treating it as two distinct products rather than one product with different options. I can see that there may be occasions when this behaviour is correct but I would have thought it more common that customer discounts would be applied based on the total number purchased of this product across all its variants.

I think this should be an option. The only other way I can see is to apply the discount at checkout (which is not so eye-catching) and also seems to require the use of a coupon though I could be wrong.

Any thoughts?

Anything in the 1.0 release that enables this functionality?

Séamus

I heard rumor that there was - but it took me all day to upload the files, so I can’t confirm yet.

Tried it on 1.0 and it doesn’t work. Shame!

As this feature is still unavailable out of the box, could someone point me in the right direction to work on a customisation?

Moshe?

Please let me know if you figure this out as I am looking for the same functionality.

Yes, I think it would be helpful (at the very least) to allow Tier Pricing on a Grouped Product, with the tiers applying to the total number of items out of a group that are purchased.  I did notice (for what it’s worth) that if you add Tier Pricing to an item in a Grouped Product that the tiers show up for that particular item, though not for the group as a whole...close, but not quite.

Has anyone figured this out yet?

This is one of my final two glitches needed for my site.  Does anyone have any idea how to make it work?

I did a bit of digging and traced it back to a few Subtotal.php files…

I’m not sure how you’re going to tally the quantities of similar products though…

Well I figured out how to do it (in theory) using the shopping cart rules but when I applied the rule is made no difference to the order total.

Seems to work if for example you do this by SKUusing shopping cart rules assuming there is a unique base sku for the t-shirts. In the shopping cart rules you give a percentage discount based on the number of t-shirts in the shopping cart and then apply that discount just to the t-shirts.
