Case Discount

Discount Type

This is an advanced feature and requires NitroSell help to set up.

Description, What it Does

This is an discount type that allows the shopper to gain a percentage discount on all non-excluded items once they buy more than a defined trigger. In the default case all items are discounted by 10% once at least 12 items have been bought. The default situation is set up to encourage wine shoppers to buy a case worth of bottles.

How to Enable this Discount

Each product that forms part of the discount needs data in a few fields. This is best done using NscPAM and NscSync. If you are new to the platform then please ask for assistance, the mappings can be tricky.

NscPAM

In PAM create a new attribute column that will hold the number this item will contribute towards triggering the discount. For most bottles this will be 1. For half cases this will be 6 and for cases this will be 12.

The column can take any figure, you are not limited to 1, 6 and 12. If you don’t enter a value then the default is 0 - that is, the item does not contribute towards triggering the discount.

NscSync Mappings

  • The Item Table

  • product_weblinxcustomnumber# - Map the PAM field set up above to one of your unused customer number fields;

  • product_notdiscountable - Set this to 1 if the item counts towards reaching the trigger but is not itself dis-countable. By default items are set to 0 and can therefore be discounted. (RMS/RMH users this is the not discountable at POS checkbox in the item options tab, for other POS users set this to a PAM boolean field);

  • product_qtydiscountid - We need an entry in the quantity discount table. The easiest way of doing this is to set up a mix and match discount in your POS system, Sync, then hijack the new mix and match id for this discount. Only items with this qtydiscountid will be considered when calculating the discount.

  • The QuantityDiscount Table

  • qtydiscount_id - same value as entered in product_qtydiscountid

  • qtydiscount_type - hard code to 4000

WebStore Manager

The NscSync mappings described above will cause the discount to work but you will be limited to the default settings. If you wish to change these settings then you will find the option under WSM->Products->Discount->Enable Backroom Case Discount.

Here you can set the trigger level, the custom number field that each items trigger value is contained in, the percentage discount and the name of the discount.

Enter your values in the four boxes provided and the changes should take place immediately.

Limitations

The NitroSell system only allows one POS style discount on an item at a time. You can’t combine this discount with a different mix and match of other quantity discount.

What the Shopper Sees in their Cart

The above example shows two items, both part of the discount scheme but only one of them discountable. The not discountable item counts towards hitting the trigger level but doesn’t get discounted.

Is there a better way to display mix and match discounts or filter by different mix and match discounts?

Hi John,

it depends on your discount structure, if there are few different types that you have assigned to multiple items we can leverage that through the mappings and display that as a filter.
You can also create a rule and set up a carousel with items that have a particular type of discount.
There are also ways through design to change how those discounts are presented to the visitors, one example would be setting up different flags on the product listing page.

Feel free to open up a new ticket on our portal so we can discuss more details.

Regards,

Peter

I’m interested in having a link or carousel that displays the items in a particular mix and match discount group. Showing all mix and max discounts that are available would be interesting to see also.
