Magento – Apply “Maximum Qty Discount is Applied to” to whole order instead of order line

cart-rulemagento-1.7shopping-cart-price-rules

What seems to go wrong: It seems in the current situation the "Maximum Qty Discount is Applied to" applies to the order line instead of the total qty in the cart.

What I think that should happen: The "Maximum Qty Discount is Applied to" should use the total qty in the cart and if it is greater than "Maximum Qty Discount is Applied to" it shouldn't apply the rule.

What am I trying to achieve: It happens more than once that a customer buys something and something goes wrong, they want to give them, say 10% discount on the next product (not the whole order, just one product). Giving a fixed amount discount doesn't do it because there are different product prices, etc.

I haven't set up any special rules for the conditions (always applies) I've just created a coupon code to apply the rule. Also it can match any product in the order, but preferably only the lowest.

Any ideas?

This isn't possible out of the box in Magento CE as far as I know so this will require you to extend the SalesRules.

Both Amasty and Fooman offer extended promo extensions. I've used the Fooman extension before and it offers tons of options. Might be worth giving them a try before you write your own code.

We did this recently with a sort of hackish use of the sales rule admin panel.

In your rule, under 'actions', in the panel 'Apply the rule only to cart items matching the following conditions', create a condition that can never actually occur. We used sku == 'invalid'. As long as you have selected 'Apply to Shipping Amount', it will take the discount only from the shipping costs. It will not match any items in the cart, though.

Yes, there is no corresponding condition in the default magento shopping cart rules. And yes, there are some extensions at the magento connect. Search for "special promotions" or "advanced promotions" for example.

Basically, if you want to create a new module you can define a new action, similar to "fixed discount to whole cart" then observe event salesrule_validator_process and calculate total discount based on the first (say cheapest) product price. Take into account free shipping promo also.

The event is dispatched from app\code\core\Mage\SalesRule\Model\Validator.php as

    Mage::dispatchEvent('salesrule_validator_process', array(
        'rule'    => $rule,
        'item'    => $item,
        'address' => $address,
        'quote'   => $quote,
        'qty'     => $qty,
        'result'  => $result,
    ));
