Because of the way the mix and match changes prices, you will need to calculate
how much each item becomes after the discount you provide. For instance, if doing a
buy one get one free promotion, you will want to calculate what the items would cost if
they were 50 percent off each. In the case of a two for $10 special, simply marking the
level as a group price and setting the price at $10 sets this for you.
If you allow the customer to purchase the special multiple times and it is set to the
Group Price option, make sure to set multiple levels to account for this. For the 2 for $10
special, you would set Level 2 to Quantity 4 and Group Price to $20 and so on.
In the case of individual prices with the Set Item Price option, setting Level 1 to 2
and Price per Item to the item’s sale price will allow all included items after the second
purchased to also be included in the sale.
Now before selecting the items you would like the mix and match to apply to, you
must set the discount levels. Discount levels allow you to set the price that the group of
items will become after the discount or how much each item will become after the dis-
count. Choose the Set Group Price checkbox to set what the group’s total will be after
discount or choose the Set Item Price checkbox to set what the individual items will sell
for after discount.
Start by setting up Level 1. Set how many of the mix and match product a custom-
er has to purchase before receiving a discount. In the case of the first example listed
above, set the Quantity for Level 1 to 2. Next, you will need to set up either the Price for
All if using the Group Price option or the Price per Item if using the Item Price option.
