Tier prices and campaigns

A product is considered to have a tier price if any of the price lists valid for the visitor has tier pricing for the article. The following campaign actions do not work if the product has a tier price: 

• Buy any X products, get discount on the cheapest
• Buy X of the same product, pay for y
• Reduce product price by percentage
• Set a product campaign price

Tier price API support

The price list article entity in Litium Studio is updated with a MinimumQuantity property that contains the minimum quantity needed to be purchased in order to get the discount. With this logic it's possible to build advanced price logic that finds the correct list price for the specific quantity of the product. Tier prices are used as list prices when applying the campaign so the campaign price is calculated on the tier price.

Tier price web controls

To print out and render the different tier prices some new web controls are added and you will find them in the list below:

• pc:ArticleTierPrice - print out the price with or without VAT
• pc:ArticleTierPriceExists - render ontrue/onfalse template based on if the article has tier prices
• pc:ArticleTierPriceQuantity - render the quantity for wich the price will be applied
• pc:ArticleTierPriceRepeater - iterate through the tier prices for the article

Example on how you can use the web controls to render prices:

<PC:ArticleTirePriceExists runat="server">
<OnTrue>
  Tier price exists
  <br/>
  <PC:ArticleTierPriceRepeater runat="server">
   <HeaderTemplate>
    <ol>
   </HeaderTemplate>
   <ItemTemplate>
    <li>Price for <PC:ArticleTierPriceQuantity runat="server" />
     article are <PC:ArticleTierPrice runat="server" DisplayCurrencySymbol="true" /></li>
   </ItemTemplate>
   <FooterTemplate>
    </ol>
   </FooterTemplate>
  </PC:ArticleTierPriceRepeater>
</OnTrue>
<OnFalse>
  Tier price doesn't exists
  <br />
  Price are <PC:ArticlePrice runat="server" />
</OnFalse>
</PC:ArticleTirePriceExists>

The ArticleTierPriceQuantity-web controll have some settings about how to format the current quantityrow
