Discount threshold setup help

V5 Question
1

I had a client ask a interesting question the other day regarding discount threshold.

Basically he wanted when voucher button is clicked, then a few different type of options appear, fixed discount amount in $. And one that applies a discount but has a threshold.

The discount is supposed to work like this,

As long as amount purchased does not exceed $140, the system would apply a 30% discount. If it goes above 140 it would only minus $30 instead.

So I know I can use ask question command to prompt user to select the type of discount to apply.

The only thing I need help with is the the constraint and action I would use to make that discount calculation.
I can do fixed discounts, but never encountered threshold calculations.

Any help is appreciated

@emre my opinion way similar too , for future development Discount : A single Command Button may be through ask question goes to many discount types where selected all types of discounted amounts comes under one Discount Account. And A Single Discount Report shows the amount discounted. Sorry if its already exists but this will be pro .looking forward for this.

Since it already exists, and possible to do, I was just hoping to get some help with calculation constraint I can put in the discount action rule and test it.

I’m going based off the already available discounts tutorial which uses ask question command to make choice of discount

Just that this type of discount only applies 30% when its below $140 or $30 if its above 140

hope Someone master of constraint will help if you can give more details of the setup and helps community too.

You could probably use a ternary expression for that constraint.

Math doesn’t quite right.
$139.99 purchase get 30% which is $42 but $140 purchase get $30.

I think maybe get 30% off max $30 make more sense.

You have to use fixed amount discount not rate from ticket. Then calculate discount amount
[=Math.min(TN('{TICKET TOTAL}')*0.3,30)]

Maybe should be PLAIN TOTAL if you have tax setup.

Ahh sorry man, i made a mistake, its supposed to be 25% up to a max total of $35 off bill. So $140 - 25% should total 105. Anything over that, then discount % goes higher than 25%. That’s why $140 is the threshold.

In other words, If bill is less than $140, then 25% discount applies, if it’s more than $140 then only $35(fixed amount) gets discounted.

Discount Amount: [=TN('{TICKET TOTAL}') > 140 ? '35' : TN('{TICKET TOTAL}') * 0.25]

Ok great! Thanks a lot. I’ll implement this and see how I go

I’ll post some screenshots when its done:D

ok I tried this but the result is weird.
check below

Make it two actions and use constraints based on ticket total and set discount accordingly. when adding action right click and show all to add the same action a second time)
Not sure ternary expressions work in actions like that…

13

would I need to make 2 separate rules for that?
or something like

by the way I didn’t end up using ask question.

Basically, as soon as a user presses voucher, it checks the amount and applies the discount accordingly.

14

No just do in one rule for automation command as before if thats how your triggering it being added.
Select actions -> add that action once then right click on the action list and select show all then add a seccond time.
You then have two discount actions.
Then set action constraints based on ticket total and the discount calculations as required.

15

sorry to ask a newbie question. but in the action constraint, what do I type exactly to get IF ticket total is GREATER than?

16

Something like;
TN('{TICKET TOTAL}') > 35

17

something like this?

If that doesn’t work, make it an [=expression] …

[=TN('{TICKET TOTAL}')] > 35
19

That wouldn’t cover if ticket total was exactly 140.
I never sussed less than or equal to so do something like;

TN('{TICKET TOTAL}') > 140
Discount = 35

TN('{TICKET TOTAL}') < 140.01
Discount = TN('{TICKET TOTAL}') * 0.25

@QMcKay youll know, sure i tried but couldn’t get >= to work, is there a required order for = and >?
