Easily offer a discount based on the number of items in the basket. The store owner configures the trigger levels (number needed to activate the discount) and the corresponding fixed amount off. The store owner can designate 1 - 4 trigger levels so that he/she can vary the discount based on the number bought. 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.
