Multi Item Discount
tables - Allows the cart to handle items that have
up to 5 different price breakdowns based on the quantity the
customer enters into their cart.
Below is an example how the
discount table is created. The string of numbers in
the value tag contains all the discount data. The 1st
number in each of the highlighted sections below is the
STARTING number while the 2nd number is the ending number
for that particular qty discount. The 3rd number is
the actual price of the item if the customer where to
purchase a quantity between the 1st and 2nd number's in each
section. You can have up to 5 (five) price breakdowns
per button.
If 23 quantity of the
below item was added to the users cart, they would pay
$1.33 each. If they where to enter 5500
quantity of the same item into their cart, they would pay
$1.00 each.
|
When we break down the string of numbers in the
value tag this is what the cart assumes. |
|
Between 1 and 299
qty will cost |
$1.33 each |
|
Between 300 and
2499 qty will cost |
$1.20 each |
|
Between 2500 and
4999 qty will cost |
$1.09 each |
|
Between 5000 and
10000 qty will cost |
$1.00 each |

PLEASE NOTE: It is
important to enter your prices with decimals! $1
would be entered at 1.00. Please use a
comma (,) after each number. The shopping
cart uses the comma as a way to look for the
next number so it is important to include them
as shown in the highlighted example. |
Here is the actual HTML snippet if you need to cut and
past it into your page. Make sure to reconfigure all
the quantity / prices to your item!
<input type="hidden"
value="1,299,1.33,300,2499,1.20,2500,4999,1.09,5000,10000,1.00"
name="disc_table"> |

Pull down Menu Pricing
- Allows each item listed in a pull down menu to have it's
own price. A good example of when to use this feature
is if you have an item in multiple colors and each color has
it's own price.
Below is a section of a
working example.
|
<input
type="hidden" name="price" value="24.95"> <!--
BASE PRICE -->
<select
NAME="cart_res1">
<option selected value="No Color
Selected">SELECT COLOR
<option value="Blue">Blue
<option value="Red##0.15">Red
Add $0.15
<option value="Gold##0.25">Gold
Add $0.25
<option value="Silver##0.20">Silver
Add $0.20
</select> |
To change the price of an item in the
pull down you need to use the ##PRICE tag as shown in the
above example. First you need to set the PRICE
value to a base value that you can add to with the ## tag to
raise the value of the item(s) in your pull down.
The ## tag signals to the shopping cart that the item will
have an additional cost added to it's base price which is
set in the PRICE tag. Notice that the BASE price is
set to $24.95 in the above price tag. The highlighted
example below will add $0.25 to that price making this items
price $25.20 each. If you do not want to add
anything to the items price leave out the ## tag as shown in
the above example for Blue. You can
have up to 4 Pull downs per buy button each loaded with
different options. Each pull down's Select name must
be named "cart_res1" - "cart_res4". Because we only
used 1 pull down in the above example we names it cart_res1.

| In some cases you might need to have a quantity
entry box next to your buy button. Place this piece of
code under the
<!-- ADDITIONAL CART FUNCTIONS GO HERE --> line.
<font
face="arial" size="2">QTY</font>
<input
type="text" maxLength="4" size="4" name="qty_passed"> |
PLEASE NOTE: If no Quantity entry box is
provided next to your buy button and if pressed only 1
quantity will be added to your customers cart, which is why
quantity entries are not necessarily needed on all buttons. |
