it doesnt work right…

Hi,
Thanks for your query. While there’s a lot of info provided, I’m not really sure where you’re trying to go.

You mentioned a ‘cheapest’ deal – it’s important to understand the difference between ‘cheapest in the group’ and ‘cheapest in the cart’ which are entirely different things.

You mention two different deals you want to create:

Buy 1 Get 2nd item 50% off
Buy 2 get 3rd item 50% off

1. is ‘cheapest’ involved in these rules?
2. creating these two rules will create an overlapping discount – if you buy 3 items, the 2nd item will get a discount(rule 1), as will the 3rd (rule 2) – is this what you had in mind?

Best,
Vark

Hi,
Sorry, i must be thick today, but I’m not getting any of this.

Please summarize the discounts you want to create in this fashion:

“Buy X get Y at a discount”

Try to think of this as a general rule, rather than ‘in this situation do this, in that situation do that’

All these qualifications are not really coming together for me…

So is what you want:

“Buy 2 get cheaper of the two 50% off”

or

“Buy 2 or more get cheapest in the cart 50% off”

??

Hi,
Still confused….

I gave you two options, which one did you choose???

Here’s the writeup on that:

As in intro, it’s important to think about Cheapest deals in the correct way…

If you want a deal where you buy 1, get a 2nd item but the discount is on the cheaper of the two,
the rule should be:
‘buy 2 get the cheapest at a discount’.

—————————-
– Cheapest in the group –
—————————-

Buy any 2 Laptops, get the less expensive 20% off

Cheapest in the group deals are very literal. In this example the counts the first
two items it finds, and discounts the cheaper of the two. If the rule repeats,
it goes on to the next two.

– select
Deal Type : Discount Cheapest / Most Expensive
– hit the ‘publish’ / ‘update button
– ignore the error messages
– then when you get there,
Discount Applies To : Cheapest Product
will be available

for a group, change the following:
Show Me : Advanced
Buy Group Amount Applies To : All Products
Buy Group Amount Type : Buy Unit Quantity
Buy Group Amount Count : XXX desired amount
filter details
and whatever discounting you desire.

Cheapest in the group deals are very literal. In this example the counts the first
two items it finds, and discounts the cheaper of the two. If the rule repeats,
it goes on to the next two.

Please go and compare the rule example mentioned above:
http://www.varktech.com/documentation/pricing-deals/examples/#cheapest
with the rule you’ve created.

You need to change a large number of things:
Deal Action : Buy something, discount the item
Buy Group Amount Count : 2
Buy Group Amount Applies To : All Products
Get Group Amount Type : Discount Each Unit

Excellent!

Tie-ing deals to a coupon is a pro function…

Hi,
Suggest you check for a module conflict.

To track down a module conflict, you can:
(1) Install and activate a maintenance mode plugin (if desired)
(2) deactivate ***all*** plugins except Woo, Pricing Deals (and maintenance mode plugin)
(3) ** switch to a clean default theme like 2014 **
(4) test. if good, add 1 module back in. Retest.
(5) rinse and repeat until conflict identified.

Best,
Vark
