Product discount not calculated correctly?

kdim95 · Post by **kdim95** » 26 Oct 2022, 13:37

Laravel framework version: 9.36.4
Aimeos Laravel version: * 2022.07.2
PHP Version: 8.1.9
Environment: Linux

I have added a product with BGN (leva) currency and added a discount.
The price is 100 leva, the discount is 50 leva.
The frontpage shows that the discount is 33%, but shouldn't it be 50%?
I don't think I've entered any VAT or something anywhere.

No, the price you've entered in the admin backend into the "Actual price" field is the current price and the rebate value added below is the already subtracted rebate, so the calculation is:

Code: Select all

rebate * 100 / (actual price + rebate) -> 50 * 100 / (100 + 50)

Thanks.

I may want to change this functionality so that I can enter a product price and have a discount % field.
A tip on what files I need to change for this would be appreciated.
The goal is not having to calculate the final price myself to get, for example, a 25% discount for product or products.

I am also interested in creating categories with discounts, where the product is discounted simply by putting it in the category.
Some tips on how to achieve this would also be appreciated.

The actual price must be always the end price the customer has to pay because it's uses for filtering products too. You may change the price panel template of the admin backend but the stored values must be the same as now.

Use the price rules:

Thank you! The category rule is probably exactly what I need.
