In order for a category discount to apply the product must be in the category, the category discounts do not automatically cascade down and apply to all the products in all the sub categories under the parent category. If you want category discounts for products in your sub categories Fitness Channel & Spanish Channel you will need to create category discounts for those sub categories.

We fixed the category qty discounts and are loading the hotfix to the downloads page now under 3.07 hotfixes. Also updated the www9 test site.

I add a qty of 2 for the spanish product from the product details page and it discounts it correctly on the cart page. What steps are you going thru that its not working?

I see what your getting at you want it to sum the qty across products in the cart in the same category and use the total to calc the category discount. I need to check the spcc tomorrow and see if it was programmed to work that way.

Here is the way that the Category Discounts should/will work. The reason that I say "should/will" is because I'm the one who ponied up the money for this, so we can have "Mix and Match Pricing" in our cart.

Let's say that I have two "Master" categories, called "Dogs" and "Cats". Under "Dogs", I have "Chihuahua", "Shepherd", and "Mutt". Under "Cats", I have "Calico", "Long Hair" and "Short Hair". So, I have two master categories, each with 3 sub-categories underneath them.

Now, I'm running a quantity discount. If you buy 3 cats, I'll give you 50% off. If you buy 2 dogs, I'll give you 25% off.

So, scenario 1:

Someone buys 3 cats... 2 calicos and a short hair. THey get a discount, because they bought 3 cats under the "Cats" category.

Scenario 2:

Someone buys 2 cats and 1 dog. They do NOT get a discount, because the discount would apply for 3 cats, or 2 dogs, but not a TOTAL of 3 cats and dogs.

Scenario 3: THey buy 1 cat and 2 dogs. The cat would not be discounted, but the dogs would be discounted by 25%, because they bought 2 dogs out of the dog category, but they only bought one cat.

Scenario 4: They buy 5 cats and 2 dogs.

They get 50% off of the cats, because they bought 3 or more. They get 25% off of the dogs, because they bought 2 or more.

It wouldn't matter if they bought 2 calicos and 1 short hair, or 1 calico, 1 short hair, and 1 long hair, they would get the discount because all 3 were in the "Cats" master category.

Make sense?

It's almost there.

A caveat, however; for it to work properly, your items must also be in the "Master category". The system won't recursively look down through the categories to see if "Spanish Coach" is under "Premium Channels" and therefore gets a discount. So, if someone bought an item under "Spanish Coach", that item would also have to be in the category "Premium Channels", for the system to realize that it's grouped that way.

Although I realize this may not be the best scenario for some, I have about 2900 items under one master category, which is fine because then if someone clicks on the master category, they're shown everything below in all of the sub-categories, instead of being presented with nothing.
