Hi, what we missed the most about discounts on satchmo, was the lack of a possibility to have "real" automatic discounts (real like in no need to have a code for it on checkout, as it was a little confusing for the users) and also to combine multiple discounts for different product/categories (groups) ... like, 20% for Products A, B, C and 50% for Products D, E, F... and so on.
At the End we ended up hiding the code-input-field and using signals to put the code on it during checkout... which was an acceptable "hack" :-), but we still have the problem of not being able to easily define multiple discounts at the same time. There was also a bug, preventing satchmo to find auto-discounts applied to a parent category. I proposed the patch here: https://bitbucket.org/chris1610/satchmo/issue/1352/ It's still not integrated with the satchmo core code, so if anyone is having the same issue, it could be helpfull on the meantime. Regards, Andrea P.S. This is my first "posting" in the mailing list... actually in ANY mailing list, so I hope it makes its way to the "right" thread...
