Volume Pricing explanation

[coach24]

Just to make sure I understand (miva 4.24)...

I need to price items in the following manner:
1 item = $10
2 items = $20
3+ items = $20 + ((# of items - 2) x $8)

So the only way to do this is to purchase the Volume Pricing module, correct? And to do that I need to also purchase OpenUI? I have purchased the dynamic template engine. How will OpenUI affect that?

Thanks,
Bob

Even volume pricing will have problems with your example. It can do
1=20 each
2=10 each
3=9.33 each
4=9.00 each

That's ok. I can predict the maximum number of items ordered with some certainty and just set up each one:

1 = $10
2 = $20
3 = $28
4 = $36
5 = $44

but at this point I want to make sure this is my only option (or is there some way to set this up with out-of-the-box miva) and will I have to purchase openui, how will it affect the dynamic template engine, etc.

Edit: Nevermind the top part. I see how you set up yours.

The volume pricing can work without openui or dynamic template. It can use the mmui or any of them to produce the actual discount as the item goes in the basket. The need for the openui is to display the table or as low as price automatically. The openui hooks into the module and returns the table display that you see with the price breaks. If that is not important or you can create a table to show it manually in the product description, then the UI you use is not a factor.

Ok that's perfect. I don't need to display a table because I know that for every item, its always $x for 1, $y for 2, and $z for each additional. I can put that in the description.

Thanks
