TOT-2964 - Product deal offer to apply a order freight surcharge discount against selected products
Within the Product Deals and Vouchers feature a new deal offer has been added that allows users to get a discount off the freight surcharge when they checkout. Using this deal offer can provide incentives for users to buy specific products that the offer applies to, knowing that the freight cost on their order will be reduced by doing so. This deal offer does not reduce the price of the products that the offer applies to, however it can be used to highlight to the user when a freight discount is applied against an product in their basket/order. To utilise this deal it is recommended that administrators set up rules within the Order Surcharge that detect when the discount freight deal offer has been applied to the order, and correspondingly set up rules that discount the freight surcharge. It is up administrators to determine the best way to achieve based on the current surcharge rules configured in their project.
Within the Administration Centre, under the Marketing menu, in the Product Deals and Vouchers interface a new Deal Offer has been added labelled "Buy Over X Product Quantity For Y Percent Off Freight Surcharge". This offer allows products assigned to the deal to be marked to receive a percentage discount off the freight order surcharge when more than a given quantity of the product has been added to an order. Within the Order Surcharges administration interface a new ACTION rule node has been created labelled "Product deal offer to apply a order freight surcharge discount against selected products". This action rule will get the products within an basket/order that the freight surchareg discount deal offer has been applied to, sum up the discounts and calculate the discount average across all product lines in the order, then apply the averaged discount percentage off the the current freight surcharge price set at the time that the order surcharge rule is executed. Additionally within the Order Surcharges administration interface a FOR rule has been created labelled "Each Product Assigned to Deal_id %VALUE% In Basket" that will loop based on the amount of products within the basket/order that have a deal assigned based on a given deal ID. This allows for customised handling of surcharges to be set based on a given deal being to a number of products.
