Offer Generation for Existing Customers by Sand Admin:

In the Offer Generation page you can start by selecting a customer for generating offers, you can do that by choosing if you want to generate an offer for a new customer or for an existing customer of the shop from the drop down available in the top of the offer generation page. If you select Existing Customer option then on the right side of the drop down you will find the option,Load Addresses, click on it to load all existing customer addresses. From the available addresses you can search for address/customer you looking and select the same. The selected address/customer details are applied in the Offer Address block. Also by selecting the existing customer by his address you can also load the discount values of that particular customer directly in the Offer Generation Page. Once selection of the customer is complete you can move down to the products table, in there you will find list of all products which you have selected with Purchase Price, Sale Price and Customer Discount %age if any. Here purchase price is the price you pay and sale price is the price you want to sell and the %age of discount which you see in the editable text box is the customer discount for the product. If there is no discount for the product for this customer then you see an empty text field. If you wish to offer this customer any discount then you can do so by entering certain %age in that input box. Based on the %age number you enter the discount is calculated instantly for that product. This way it is possible to give product specific discount individually or if you want you can even give for all products the discount by just entering the %age which you want to give in the Discount Unit Price field which you can find in the headline of the table. This %age is then applied to the all the products. At the bottom of the table you see the total calculations, and text fields for inputing tax, shipping charges and an additional discounts block. This additional discounts section is for applying the discounts on the totals and these are coming from theUser Specific Discounts. For the existing customer if they have any discounts available in their account then those on selection will be applied on the total, which you can alter if you want to and for new customer what ever %age of discount you give here is applied to the total. So for special customers or for special occasion you can add a total discount in additional to the already existing products discount on top. So all in all you have possibility to give discount product wise as well as for total from the available options. Also not just price reduction it is also possible for you to increase the price in the offer page. For individual products you can choose to add the %age of increase in the columns Surcharge, in here you can increase the price in %age product wise or for all products and in the common discount area and for the total too you can increase the price in %age by selecting “+” and giving the number of %age for increase in the adjacent text input box.
So it is possible to decrease as well as increase the price of products and the total price in the Offer Generation pages.
