In X-Cart 5.4.1.x and higher, it is possible to apply discounts to wholesale pricing and include them in sale offers if set percentage-wise, provided the Wholesale add-on is used alongside the Sale add-on.
The Wholesale add-on adds the following wholesale pricing-related settings to a single product and group discounts:
Apply product-specific discount to wholesale price: This toggler is added to the "Prices & Inventory" section of product details and allows applying a single product discount to wholesale pricing if the former is set in percentages.
Apply sale discount to wholesale prices: This toggler is added to sale offer properties (Discounts -> Sale -> New Sale) and allows including products with wholesale prices into a sale offer. The offer is valid for wholesale pricing only if the discount amount is set in percentages.
If you include a product with wholesale pricing in a sale offer, a related record displays in the product details' Wholesale Pricing tab informing a store admin of the limitation set.
Configuration Examples
Now let us take a closer look at how you configure specific pricing tiers. Consider the following example:
We have a product that we want to sell, and we want to define pricing tiers for it so that customers without a membership would be able to purchase the product at the following prices:
1-9 units - $50
10-99 units - $49
100+ units - $47
(As you can see, the more product units are purchased, the lower the price is).
We also have a privileged 'Wholesaler' membership level to which we want to give even lower prices:
1-1000 units - $45 (a 10% discount off the unprivileged Tier-1 price, $50)
1001+ units - $42.5 (a 15% discount off the unprivileged Tier-1 price, $50)
How do we configure pricing tiers?
In this case, we need to create and set up pricing tiers as follows:
Quantity range: from 1
Price: $50
Membership: All customers
Quantity range: from 10
Price: $49
Membership: All customers
Quantity range: from 100
Price: $47
Membership: All customers
Quantity range: from 1
Price: $45 or 90%
Membership: Wholesaler
Quantity range: from 1000
Price: $42.5 or 85%
Membership: Wholesaler
