Apply fine-grained bulk discounts to items in the shopping cart with this WooCommerce extension.

== Description ==

WooCommerce Bulk Discount makes it possible to apply fine-grained bulk discounts to items in the shopping cart,
depending on the ordered quantity and on the specific product.

WooCommerce Bulk Discount is compatible with WooCommerce 2.0.x to 2.3.x.

Let us examine some examples of usage.

*   You may want to feature the following discount policy in your store: if the customer
orders more than 5 items of a given product, he/she will pay the price of this order
line lowered by 10%.

*   Or you may want a different policy, for example offering a 5% discount if the customer
orders more than 10 items of a product and a 10% discount if he/she orders more than
20 items.

*   Bulk Discounts supports flat discounts in currency units as well,
enabling you to handle scenarios like deducting fixed value of, say $10 from the item subtotal.
For example, when the customer orders more than 10 items (say, 15, 20, etc.), a discount of $10
will be applied only on the subtotal price.

The settings for discounts are simple yet extensive, allowing wide range of discount
policies to be adopted in your store.

Here is the list of the main features:

*   Possibility of setting percentage bulk discount or flat (fixed) bulk discount in currency units.
*   Bulk discounts for product variations is supported to treat them separately or by shared quantity when discounting. 
*   Discount is better visible and is available on several locations (see below).
*   Discount is visible on the Checkout page
*   Discount is visible on the Order Details page
*   Discount is visible in WooCommerce order e-mails and invoices as well.
*   Showing the applied discount when hovering over the item price in the cart.   
*   Possibility of easily changing the CSS of the price before and after discount.
*   Bulk discount can or cannot be applied if a coupon code is used, depending on configuration.
*   HTML markup is allowed in information about the bulk discount offer in Product Description.
*   Bulk Discount can be disabled more easily in the Product Options page.
*   Compatibility with WooCommerce 2.0.x to 2.3.x.

== Installation ==

1. Download the latest version and extract it in the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

Once the plugin is activated, you can use it as follows:

1. First navigate to WooCommerce settings. Under the Bulk Discount tab, find the global
configuration for bulk discounts. Make sure "Bulk Discount enabled" is checked and optionally
fill information about discounts which will be visible on the cart page. You can include HTML
markup in the text - you can, for instance, include a link to your page with your discount
policy. In case you need the plugin to work well with product variations, make sure that the
"Treat product variations separately" option is unchecked. Since version 2.0 you
may choose to use a flat discount applied to the cart item subtotal. Optionally you may also
modify the CSS styles for the old value and the new value which is displayed in the cart.
Save the settings.

2. Navigate to Products and choose a product for which you want to create a discount policy.
In the Product Data panel, click Bulk Discount and optionally fill information about the discount
which will be visible in the product description.

3. Click "Add discount line" button to create a policy. Quantity (min.) means minimal
number of ordered items so that the (second textbox) Discount applies. It is possible to
add up to five discount lines to fine-tune the discount setting.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Are multiple discounts supported? How many levels of discounting may be applied? =

Yes, multiple discounts (related to a single product) are supported. Currently it is possible to
set up to 5 discount lines. That should be enough for reasonable fine-tuning of the discount.

= Is only a percentage discount implemented? =
Since version 2.0 another type of discount is added, allowing you to set a fixed discount in currency units
for the cart item subtotal.

= Will the discount be visible on WooCommerce e-mails and Order status as well? =
Yes. Since version 2.0, this feature has been implemented.

= Is it possible to handle discount for product variations as a whole? =
Yes, in case you have several product variations in your store and you need to apply the discount
to all the purchased variations, please upgrade to the latest version of Bulk Discount.
This functionality can be disabled in Bulk Discount settings.

= Is the plugin i18n ready? =
Yes, the plugin supports localization files. You can add support for your language as well by the standard process.

= Can you provide an example of setting a percentage bulk discount? =
Sure. Below is an example of setting a bulk discount for a product with three discount lines. 

1. Quantity (min.) = 3, Discount (%) = 5
2. Quantity (min.) = 8, Discount (%) = 10
3. Quantity (min.) = 15, Discount (%) = 15

If the customer orders, say, 12 items of the product which costs $15 per item, the second
discount line will apply. The customer then pays 12 * 15 = 225 dollars in total minus
10%, which yields $202.5. Note that this discount policy only applies to the concrete product -- other
products may have their own (possibly different) discount policies.

= Can you provide an example of setting a flat bulk discount? =
Example for flat discount follows:

1. Quantity (min.) = 10, Discount ($) = 10
2. Quantity (min.) = 30, Discount ($) = 20

If the customer orders, say, 15 items of the product which costs $10 per item, the first discount
line will apply and the customer will pay (15 * 10) - 10 dollars. If the customers orders
50 items, the second discount line will apply and the final price will be (50 * 10) - 20 dollars.
Setting bulk discounts couldn't have been easier.
