User guide for Prestashop Quantity Discount Block
Prestashop Quantity Discount Block:In the eCommerce domain, discounts are something that many merchants offer to allure potential customers.
Even if you are a merchant, you must be a customer of some products. And being a customer, there is something that we all would agree.
That is, we tend to buy more number of products if the discounts are better with increased quantity.
The module is designed to show multiple quantity discounts created by you in an organised way on the product page.
You would get to know more about other valuable features that comes with it on the upcoming sections. But let’s just see what quantity discounts are & how they help merchants?
Suppose you create a quantity discount of 20% & 30% for 3 & 4 quantity of the products. And, the price of the product was $20.
Generally, if your customer buys 3 quantities of product, then he will need $60 in the absence of a discount.
But, now with quantity discount, he only needs to pay $48( $20*3 = 60 & after 20% discount on $60 = 48$ ).
This way not only customer saves by purchasing more quantities but a merchant also makes more money.

Firstly, let’s see the options available in the first part.

Now, let’s see how we can create quantity discounts rule for products. Basically, there are two ways to create it. Hence, we will discuss them one by one.
Create Quantity Discounts
In order to create quantity discounts & apply to a large number of products simultaneously, go to the discounts section. Under the discounts section, you will find a tab of “Catalog price rules“.
Before getting into the process to create a catalog price rule, let me tell you something about it first. Catalog price rule allows you to apply discounts to multiple products simultaneously.
This not only eases the process but also removes the necessity to apply discounts to product one by one.
Now, let’s get back to the process to create a new catalog price rule. To create a new rule, click on the “Add new catalog price rule” button.
After clicking on the button, following form will open at your end. Fill in the necessary details & proceed to save it.
Note: Please note that the price rule you create must have “From Quantity” greater than 1. Otherwise, no discount block will show.
This is because we are only dealing with quantity discounts. So, unless the quantity is greater than 1, multiple discounts will not show. Rather, they will overlap each other.
After saving the new price rule, set discount according to plan will be applicable on all the products.
Apart from this, there is another way to apply discounts on product too. So, let’s just go to the next section quickly.
Apply quantity discount to a product
Prestashop also provides a way to apply a discount to the product individually. To apply a discount to the product, go to catalog-> products.
After that go to the “Pricing” section. Then click on the “Add a specific price” button.
Now, fill in the necessary details to create a new discount on this particular product.
This was all about the process to create a discount for the product.
Discount block at the front-end
After creating multiple quantity discounts, a customer can view all of them in a block on the product page. Following screenshot shows the quantity discount block on the product page.
As enabled, a ‘select’ column is displayed in the discount table.
If disabled
You may recall that in the configuration settings, there were two sections. And, in the second section, there was also an option to show a discount block on various product listing pages.
Here is an example & view of the quantity discount block for product listing pages (Toggle Type and Pop-Up Type)
