How do you add printing options and quantity discounts?
Step 1Create an option set
Open Printcart Store > Printing Options, click Add new and type a title for the set. The example uses Business card finish.
Expected result: The Edit Options screen opens with your title at the top.
Step 2Add a field with choices
Open the first field (a Default field). Type an Option name such as Paper finish. Under Attributes add the choices: Matte (ticked as the default) and Gloss with an Additional Price of 2.
Expected result: The field lists Matte and Gloss, and Gloss carries the extra price.
Step 3Add quantity breaks
Scroll to Quantity breaks. Keep Discount type on Percentage and add rows: break 100 with a discount of 10, and break 500 with a discount of 20. The first row (break 1) stays as it is.
Expected result: The table shows three rows: 1, 100 and 500.
Step 4Apply the set to a product and publish
In the Apply for box, search for the product and pick it from the list. Then click Publish.
Expected result: The page reloads with your product listed under Apply for, and the button now reads Update.
Step 5Switch on the printing option for the product
Open Printcart Store > Products and edit the product. In Product setup, open the Print Options tab, switch on Enable printing option and click Save changes.
Expected result: The toggle reads Enabled.
Step 6Test the price as a shopper
Open the product page. Choose Gloss and set the quantity to 100. The Summary options box shows the option price, the quantity discount, the final price per item and the subtotal, and Table pricing lists every quantity range.
Expected result: With the sale price of 8.99, Gloss adds 2.00, the 10 percent break gives a final price of 9.891 per item, and 100 items come to 989.10.
What is a quantity break?
A quantity break is a minimum quantity from which a discount applies. With the breaks from this guide, 1 to 99 items pay the full price, 100 to 499 items get 10 percent off and 500 or more get 20 percent off. The pricing table on the product page shows each range.
Can one option set apply to many products?
Yes. The Apply for box has a Products tab and a Categories tab, so you can apply a set to selected products or to whole categories. When several sets match, the one with the highest priority is used.
Why do I need to enable the option on the product as well?
Applying a set links it to the product, and the Enable printing option switch in the product setup decides whether the product uses printing options on the storefront. Before the switch is on, the product setup shows the option as disabled.
