How to create a discount for an entire product category?

    Hello,

    I’m trying to achieve the following with no success so far:

    I’m selling books and postcards. I want to give people who order at least 10 postcards a discount, no matter which cards they choose. But this should be independent of the number of books they order at the same time.

    So far, I only found solutions for either

    – a product-based discount (which is only given if 10+ postcards of the same kind are ordered) or

    – a cart-based discount (which also applies if e.g. 2 books and 8 postcards are ordered).

    Is a category-based discount possible with the current version? If so, how? If not, I suggest to add this possibility.

    Best regards,
    Jörg

    Hello,

    In the pro version, you have the ability to set a discount based on the number of items in the cart, no matter the category: http://prntscr.com/bs5fkh.

    I know – that is the second of the solutions I found (see above). But what I wanted is a discount based on the number of items of a certain product category in the cart, not the total number of items in the cart.

    Example:

    10 postcards (or more) -> discount
    9 postcards + 1 book -> no discount
    10 postcards + 1 book -> discount (for postcards only, not for the book)

    It looks like this is not possible currently?

    This is still possible by combining these two http://prntscr.com/bs5p7x in the same group just like the capture.

    That’s exactly what I tried, but the “If order items count” rule always counts *all* items in the cart, even if the “If order products in …” rule is added. That second rule only defines the category the discount is to be applied to, but not which cart items are counted.

    So if I set

    “If order items count > 9” AND “If order products in Postcards”

    and someone puts 9 postcards and 1 book in the cart (or 8 postcards and 2 books etc.), the rule counts 10 items in the cart and applies the discount (to the postcards only). But I want the discount to be applied only if at least 10 postcards are in the cart, regardless of the number of other products.

    That combination is only available in the pro one.
