Formatting and options need improvement.
-
The formatting of the quantity discount table, shown on single products, was at least in my case terrible (“TheGem” template): The first row, containing the minimum item count for a certain discount, was set to “100%”, and the 2nd row (max. item count) and 3rd row (discount in % or value) have no width setting, but activated word wrap. Means the 1st row is super wide, es wide as possible to fill the space on the product page, and the other 2 rows are as small as possible. Since there is no way to change the design of this table in the settings, you need to modify it in the file xa-single-product-pricing-table.php yourself. But this wasn’t a big deal.
The 2nd issue is, that I am using an Abandon Cart Reminder, and the reminder email only contains the single item price, but not the discounted price. Therefore, I must change the design or wording in the reminder email. But this is not really a big problem, just a little unpleasant.
The 3rd problem I want to talk about is, that there is no option to apply discounts to ALL categories the same time. Because I want to apply a volume discount to every item in the store, and to show the discount on the product page, I had to add an additional category, add every item in the store to this category, and then apply the discount to this category. The pitfall: I had to modify the template code, to disable this category, so it is not shown in the sidebar. But I was not able to change this on the product detail page, where I show in which category the shown product depends. They sent me an excuse, why they only allow to set 1 category per rule, instead of adding several categories or even all categories to the rule. I would be supposed to use the “cart rule” to achieve what I want. But this would mean, I wouldn’t have the discount on the product page, and I would need to upgrade to the premium version. BUT, it would NOT fix the issues.
Because of the issue with the necessary additional category, I will not use this plugin, and went with another free one, with a much better layout on the product page and the capability to apply discounts to categories or products in bulk.
