The Discount Based on Subtotal module offers discounts based on the subtotal of the items in the customer's basket. This allows the store to provide overall volume pricing across its entire product line. For example, the store may offer 10% off orders between $200 and $499.99, and 20% off orders of $500 or more. Discounts can be flat dollar amounts, or a percentage of the order subtotal. The module provides flexibility to exclude certain products and to exclude certain price groups.
The module also allows the subtotal calculation to include basket charges of a given type. If the "included charges" option is left blank, then the subtotal will be the sum of all the products (and their attributes) in the basket, and will not include any charges such as shipping or tax. In this case, if a coupon or another discount is applied, then the subtotal will also not include that discount. Since it is often desirable to base the discount off the subtotal AFTER applying the coupon, the store administrator can specify the coupon charge code in the included charges, and then it will be deducted before this module's discount is applied.
The discount is displayed on the basket and all checkout screens, as well as fulfillment emails, batch reports, and anywhere else that basket contents with charges (such as shipping and tax) are normally displayed.
The discount is shown as a basket-level charge at the bottom of the basket page. It is calculated and inserted automatically based on the subtotal of the products currently in the basket.
This admin screen shows the discount levels. Each one has a minimum and a maximum dollar amount that triggers the discount; a description of the discount; and the percentage that is applied to the basket.
The module offers several options, including the ability to determine whether the discount is tax exempt; products that should be excluded from the calculation; price groups that are not eligible for the discount; and charges that are included in the subtotal calculation.
