Re: .. more on sliding discounts...

texte = >an extra line containing a discount >(calculated using the total number of products ordered) can be added to >the end of an order file so that it is included in the subtotal (and >therefore has the correct tax applied to it)! Can subTotal or Grand Total >have formulas 'assigned' to them? Is there a way of charging tax on the >shipCost as well as the subTotal ( we have to charge tax on shipping >charges in the UK!)?There is an [AddLineItem] context that lets you put more items in the cart at will. Use this, combined with a little [lineitems] loop that uses [math] to add up the number of items in the cart.If you want to add tax to shipping, I suppose you could modify the [unitshipcost] formula to add the tax at the moment the product is added to the cart. But that means if the visitor ever changes the taxRate (by changing the destination, or something else that affects the taxRate), the unitShopCosts already in the cart would be wrong.Another way would be to add another lineitem to the bottom of the cart that represents the tax on shipping. You'll probably have to fake up a SKU called shiptax or something like that.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
