Catalog Price rules: Product is in several categories/Which catalog rule has priority?

[Bewitching]

Ver: 1.6.0.11

 

My entire shop is set up with a catalog rule for 20% off.

(My "regular" prices of my products are always 20% off retail, and I want my customers to see what the MSRP is before my discount.)

 

I have had to made a separate catalog rule for each main category of my store.

 

Each month, a "Main" category and all it's sub-categories at 25% off. Switching around the Catalog rules for this kind of sale is easy.

 

I have also made separate categories based on common themes.

For instance: "All things Red". If a product is red, it appears in this category as well as it's default category.

 

I would like to have a sale on all products in the "All things Red" category.

They all would be 25% off.

When I create a catalog rule for "All Things Red" to be 25% off, it's being ignored because these products appear elsewhere in my store under categories that are 20% off.

 

(I don't mind if a "Red" book is 25% off while "Blue" books remain 20% off within the "Books category.)

 

Is there a way to set a priority for the discounts? So if I list all things Red at 25% off, it would overrule the 20% off discount within books in general.

 

Did I explain my dilemma correctly?

 

Thanks!

OK. Since I received no replies, I'll try to explain it more clearly

I have a product, Celtic ring.

It is in two categories, rings and everything Celtic.

 

I have a catalog rule for rings. They are always 20% off.

For the month of March, (St. Patrick's Day), everything Celtic in my store will 25% off.

 

So my Celtic ring would fall under two catalog price rules, the 20% off for rings, and the 25%off for everything Celtic.

 

How can I get my Celtic ring to display 25% off?
Is a catalog price rule based on the Default category for a product?

Bumping this as I have received no response.
How does PrestaShop determine how to apply a catalog rule when a product is in several categories, and several catalog rules apply?

I have exactly the same question! What I have noticed is that the first created rule seemes to be kept. So if you give one category including your ring 25% and then you give the other category (also including your ring) 20%, the ring will keep it's 25% since it is the first discount it got.

 

But somewhere in the db you have to be able to set this priority, right? I really want to find this so I can manually tell if the product should have 20 or 25%.

I got same issue

example:
product discount is 20%

another quantity discount is 10% when buying 4+ items
put 4 in cart and customer is given 10%, which is not at all cool - customers hate that, and so do i.

please post if you know how to fix this, so customer gets the best available price

Catalog price rules will apply according to their position on list.

But if product has specific price rule ( Created rule while editing product ) then product specific rule will apply prior to the Catalog Price rules.

Same problem here.

Two differents catalog price rules on the same category, i cant reorder de id catalog price rule because it will break.

How can i assign who has moer priority? Or how can i change the code to has priority the higher discount?

 

Thanks

I do have the same issue, I have a Cart Rule, specific Product Price Rule and Catalog Price Rules.

 

It seems to me that:

 

a) Cart Rule (e.g. a voucher) and specific Product Price Rule seems to be cumulative, both applied. Bad behaviour, how do I avoid it, how do we set priorities ?

Catalog Price Rules seems to overridden a Product Price Rule, any way to manage this priority ?

 

Thank you

Same issue yet

[Malemi]

Any help or workaround is highly appreciate.

Prestahop applies the discounts in the order that it has been created.

 

The solution that I use is this:

 

 I have created in the first position "The discount of the month", and when I do  not want any, I aplied this rule to a empty group of clients (create one with no members).

 

When you want create a new temporal discount, change this rule.

 

In lower positions of the "Catalog price rules" create the discounts that you want to be always applied.
