Let’s say you sell shirts from your osCommerce store and you want to offer a discount if customers purchase more than one shirt. For example:

Buy 1 shirt = $6.99 each
Buy 2 shirts = $5.99 each
Buy 3 shirts = $4.99 each
Etc.

Unfortunately, osCommerce does not offer this function built-in. You will need to install a special mod. There are multiple ones available but for this tutorial, I will be using the Quantity Discounts Mod for osCommerce by That Software Guy.

After uploading the mod using FTP, login to your osCommerce admin area.

Click on “Modules in the side menu.

Now click on “Order Total” under “Modules”

Once the page opens, click on “Quantity Discounts” and “install” to the right.

Once installed, click on “edit”

Enter in your discount specifications, and then click on “update”

If you run into any troubles, let me know below.

Let’s say you sell candles from your ZenCart store and you want to offer a discount if customers purchase more than one candle. For example:

Buy 1 candle = $5.99 each
Buy 2 candles = $4.99 each
Buy 3 candles = $3.99 each
Etc.

Setting this up is easy to do!

First, login to your ZenCart admin area. Click on “Products Price Manager” under the “Catalog” tab in the top menu.

Once the page opens, click on the product name you would like to add the quantity discount to. Now click on “display” to the right:

On the bottom of the screen, you will see:

Click on the “edit” button as shown above.

Now click on “add blank discounts” underneath “Add 5 Blank Qty Discounts”

You will now see the following box:

You will need to enter the following information:

Discount Type = choose Percentage, Actual Amount, or Amount Off
Discount Priced from = choose Price or Special
Minimum Qty = enter the minimum required to receive the discount
Discount Value = enter the discount amount

So based on my candle example above, I have created a product called Candle and priced it at $5.99. To provide the discount, I would choose:

Actual Amount
Price

I would then enter the following into the boxes:

Make sure you click on “update” after making changes to apply the discounts.

Clear as mud right? If you run into any troubles, let me know below.
