Table Discounts for Zen Cart now does tiered discounts, case discounts
Table Discounts for Zen Cart now has the ability to do both tiered discounts and case discounts.
- Tiered discounting discounts items with by applying specific discounts to specific counts of products within a single order. If you want one price for the first 10 items, another for the next 20 and another for the next 50, look at tiered discounts.
- Case discounting only discounts groups of items in specific numeric quantities. If you want to offer special prices for groups of 6, 12 and 24, but no special prices for other multiples, look at case discounting.
Tiered discounts were added to Table Discounts in version 1.1. Take a look at some examples of tiered discounting and case discounting for Zen Cart in the help page.

Beanstream INTERAC® for Zen Cart
If you’re a Canadian merchant using a Zen Cart, I encourage you to try the Beanstream INTERAC payment module for Zen Cart. It has recently had a few bug fixes to deal with the differences in data various banks would send back, so if you tried it before and it didn’t work, please give it another shot.

Cross Sells using Zen Cart Better Together
Better Together now supports cross selling without discounting!
Some people wanted to do “Better Together” type pairings without the discounting – so I added “Cross Sells” to Better Together 2.3. If you’re using the setup() function to configure Better Together, just use an “X” instead of “%” or “$” in your linkage statement (add_prod_to_prod, etc.). If you’re using Better Together Admin, it’s built in to version 3.1 (a $10 upgrade if you’ve already bought Better Together Admin). The cross sells are shown on the product info page in a new centerbox called “Items you may also be interested in.”
If you use Checkout Candy, these cross sells also appear on your shopping cart page and checkout shipping page! It’s a great way to increase the value of every order.

Automatic Add to Cart for Zen Cart
A lot of people like the idea of automatically adding one item to the cart when another item is purchased, so I wrote Automatic Add to Zen Cart to address this need.
