PERCENT OFF SUBTOTAL BY CATEGORY

Easily offer a discount based on the basket subtotal with this MIVA Merchant module. The default is to calculate product charges in the specified category(ies) (including attribute charges) to determine the total. You can optionally include non-product charges in the calculation.

In admin, the store owner configures the trigger levels (amount needed to activate the discount) and the corresponding percentage off. The store owner can designate 1 - 4 trigger levels (10 in version 5x) so that he/she can vary the percentage discount based on the amount spent. The store owner then includes a list of category codes that will be used in the calculation.

In the compiled version (Merchant 4.14 and newer), the store owner can even set an expiration date for the sale. When the date is reached, the discounts will automatically stop. Also in the compiled version is the ability to reverse the amount and make it a surcharge for a specific list of categories. This is useful if you have a materials surcharge that effects a specific group of products and they are in a specific category. In Merchant 5x you can include or exclude specific price group customers. You can also use an asterisk as a wildcard for all categories in the store instead of listing each category. Merchant 5x also has 10 tiers of discounts.

The discount amount will appear during checkout on the screen after the customer has entered their shipping method. This allows Merchant to include (optionally) any miscellaneous fees or coupons redeemed on the Shipping - Payment selection screen. In Merchant 5x you also have the option to show the discount in the basket prior to checkout.

Use this module for category-wide discounts. Setup a sale category or use it with existing categories.

MMUI and OpenUI compatible. No editing of mv files required for either user interface. Configuration is setup through Merchant Admin.
