Nulled Cs-cart Soft Solid Promotions - discount on equal amount of products from other category - ss_prom_equal_cat v1.1.2.5

The Soft Solid Promotions - Discount on Equal Amount of Products from Other Category (ss_prom_equal_cat) add-on for CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor allows you to create promotions where a discount is applied to products in one category based on the quantity of products purchased from another category. This add-on is useful for cross-category promotions, helping to encourage customers to buy products from specific categories to unlock discounts in others.

Key Features and Workflow:

1. Installation:
   • After installing the add-on, you can start creating promotions in your CS-Cart Admin panel.
2. Creating Promotions:
   • Promotion Conditions: In the promotion conditions section, you specify the category from which the customer must purchase products to activate the discount. For example, in the screenshot, the Desktops category is chosen.
   • Bonuses Tab:
     • In the Bonuses tab, select the type of bonus (discount) that will be applied. The bonus type is created during the add-on installation.
     • Then, you add the categories from which the products will be discounted. For example, in the screenshot, the categories Laptops and Tablets are selected for the discount.
3. How the Promotion Works:
   • When a customer purchases products from the Desktops category, they will receive a discount on the same number of products from the Tablets and Laptops categories.
   • In the example, the customer added two Desktops to the cart, and two corresponding products from the Tablets and Laptops categories were discounted by 50% (as set in the promotion configuration).
4. Discount Restrictions:
   • If the customer adds more products from the Tablets and Laptops categories than the amount purchased from the Desktops category, the additional products will not be discounted. A notification will appear to inform the customer.
   • If multiple products from the Tablets or Laptops categories are added to the cart, the promotion applies only to the cheapest products that are lower in price or equal to the quantity of products purchased from the Desktops category. For example, the cheaper Tablet was discounted, while the Laptop wasn't, as it was more expensive.

Example Scenario:

• A customer buys 2 Desktops.
• The promotion specifies that for each Desktop purchased, the customer gets a 50% discount on a product from the Tablets or Laptops categories.
• The customer adds 2 Tablets and 1 Laptop to their cart.
• The system applies a 50% discount on the 2 Tablets (since they match the number of Desktops purchased).
• If the customer adds more Tablets or Laptops beyond the 2 products purchased from Desktops, the additional products are not discounted, and a notification will inform the customer of this.
• The system ensures that only the lowest-priced products from the discounted categories (Tablets or Laptops) are discounted.

Benefits:

• Cross-category Promotion: This add-on allows you to create promotions that cross categories, encouraging customers to buy more from different sections of your store.
• Automatic Discount Application: The promotion automatically applies the discount based on the number of products from a specified category, making it easy for customers to understand and enjoy the benefits.
• Flexible Discounting Rules: You can set specific discount rules, such as applying discounts to the cheapest products, which helps manage the promotion effectively.
• Clear Notifications: Customers are notified when they exceed the discount limit, reducing confusion and improving their shopping experience.

Conclusion:

The ss_prom_equal_cat add-on is a powerful tool for running promotional campaigns in CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor stores. It enhances the shopping experience by rewarding customers who purchase products from one category with discounts on products from another category. The ability to customize the discount logic, including conditions based on quantities and product prices, provides flexibility in running targeted promotions.


Extension to CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor allows you to create promotion, that will discount products in category, depending on amount of products purchased by customer from other category.

We start from installing an extension:



Next we create new promotion. In promotion conditions we set category, from which customer must buy products to activate discount. In our example, this category will be Desktops:



In Bonuses tab we choose new kind of bonus, created during addon installation. Then we add categories, from which products will be discounted. In our example these categories will be Laptops and Tablets:



When customer adds to the cart some products from Desktops category, he will get discount for the same amount of products from Tablets and Laptops categories. Customer purchased two computers, so two tablets in cart were discounted by half (as defined in promotion configuration).



If customer will add to cart more products from Tablets and Laptops categories, they won't be discounted and notification will be displayed.



If there will be more than one product in cart from Tablets or Laptops tab, only cheapest products will be discounted, which amount is lower or equal to amount of products from Desktops category. Tablet is cheaper than laptop, so it was discounted. However, both products fit into promotion conditions.
