Easily offer a discount based on the number of items in the basket. The default is to calculate product charges in the specified category (including attribute charges) to determine the total to discount. You can optionally include non-product charges in the calculation. Then in admin, the store owner configures the trigger levels (number needed to activate the discount) and the corresponding percentage off. The store owner can designate 1 - 4 trigger levels so that he/she can vary the percentage discount based on the amount spent. The store owner then includes a list of category codes that will be used in the calculation. The discount amount will appear during checkout on the screen after the customer has entered their shipping method. This allows Merchant to include (optionally) any miscellaneous fees or coupons redeemed on the Shipping - Payment selection screen.
