Flex packages and pricing rules?

Hello,

We are trying to get a pricing rule to fire with the purchase of a flex package, and are being quite unsuccessful. Any tips?

Thanks,

Lesley

  • What's the rule?  One disappointment we've had is that we're not able to get pricing rules to fire "inside" a package.

  • Gawain, I'm digging around forum posts and saw this comment. Do you mean you aren't able to do a product volume discount inside of a package? How did you get around this? 

  • In v15 you aren't able to trigger pricing rules "within" packages, so if you have a flex package you can't have a rule that says "if you buy six performances do X", as it simply won't look at the performances within a package.  But this has been changed in v16!  I'm not there just yet, but hoping that the particulars will work out for us.

    What we have instead is a series of flex packages called 4+, 6+ and 8+.  The 4+ allows 4-5 performances, the 6+ allows 6-7 performances and 8+ allows 8 and more, and then each has a different price type appropriately discounted.  But obviously if a customer gets the 4+, chooses 5 performances and then decides they really would like that sixth performance now they have to abandon their package and start from scratch building a 6+, which is obviously not optimal, but we've done it for many years now.
