Overview
A very powerful feature of the Timestone Software Internet Ordering System, is the ability to create conditional price lists where the prices of Packages in an Offer are reduced depending on conditions the user has defined.
Use cases
Below is a list of some uses of conditional price lists. Each case is a real example as used by Timestone Software customers. It is by no means exhaustive.
Example | Description | Condition(s) |
|---|---|---|
2nd Package at half price | Add a certain package or packages to the cart and other packages are reduced by 50% | Package>Package price>against most expensive cart items .. or Package>Package price>against most expensive cart items for shoot/identity |
3rd child free | When a parent orders for two children in the same order, the third child can order the same (or lesser value package) for free. | Package>Package Value>at least by total for n shoot/identities .. or Package>Package Value>at least by most expensive for n shoot/identities .. or Package>Package Count>at least by n shoot/identities |
Discount at a certain cart value | When the value of the cart reaches a certain amount, the packages are discounted. | Session>Cart>Value of cart |
Digital package free | The digital package becomes free once the ‘Premium’ package has been added to the cart. | Session>Cart>items in cart where package code |
Promotional prices | At a certain date, such as before Xmas, Black Friday etc. packages are reduced in price then reset afterwards. | Other>When>from/to date |
How it works
Essentially, the process requires two steps.
Create the condition in the IOS control panel
Create an additional price list in tsAdmin and set the condition code
Online, once the condition becomes true, the conditional price list will be invoked.
Warning
The package prices in additional price lists must be lower or of equal value to the base price. They cannot be used to increase the base price of a package.
