Discounting Options

 XMS Systems E-Commerce module allow the following type of discounts structures.

• Items on Sale
  This is items that is for sale to the general public / members by default
  
  
• Discount Vouchers
  From time to time you might want to issue discount vouchers to the public via social network sites or your news letter.
  These vouchers is usually a unique number that is linked to a specific product with a percentage value applied.
  When a visitor has a number for a specific product and applied the number it will calculate the new discounted price and display it.
  
  
• Member Discounts
  You can have different discount levels that can be associated with different member that will apply a predetermined discount on all products once they are logged in
  
  
• Volume Discounts
  You can define different volume levels to have different discount percentages applied to the shopping cart by default.
  e.g. If a visitors total shopping cart comes to £1000.00 he qualifies for a 10% discount.

• Minimum Discount
  This option will look at all the different discount options and apply the smallest value. If the item is discounted and the member qualifies for a 10% discount by default and the discounted value is less then the member discount then the member discount will be ignored and the discounted value will be applied to the item.
  
  Lets say item with SKU 123 sells at £9.50 and is currently on sale at £8.99
  The member logs in and automatically get a 10% discount on all items
  
  

  Normal Price	£9.50
  Sale Price	£8.99
  Member Discounted Price	£8.55

• Maximum Discount (Default)
  This option will look at all the different discount options and apply the biggest value. If the item is discounted and the member qualifies for a 10% discount by default and the discounted value is less then the member discount then the member discount will be applied to the item.
