Very often we want to have discounts on a special product and give discounts to a group of customers. Again, this is easy to do with eZ publish 3.

We do this by making different user groups that we assign the discount to. Then we add users in that discount group.

To do this you click on the "Discount" link in the "Shop" box. This will take you to the "Defined discount groups" page. Here you will find a list of the different discount groups you have set on your site. Now we want to add a new User group in this list.

Click the "New" button. Now you will see the "Editing discount group - New group" page where you type in the name of the discount group you want to add, for instance "Partner". Then you must click "Apply". This is the first step of adding discount groups.

In step two we have to add the discounts the partners will get.

Click on the "Partner" link that will take you into another page: "Group view". This is where we assign the actual discount to the Partner group.

Click the "Add rule" button to assign the discount. In the "Editing rule" window you write in "Computer store" in the "Name" field and type in how much they will get in discount. Next you decide if they are to get the same discount for all products in the "Computer store" or a selected range of products, e.g. CD's. You can also go down another step to decide what kind of CD's they get the discount for.

When you click "Store" you are done. You can add or remove discount rules in this window at any time.

You can now include the users you want in the "Partner" group through the "Add customer" button. Check the groups, users or persons you want to include. You can go deeper into the customer tree by clicking the "User" links until you find the user you want to add.
