Percentage Discount for OpenCart Customer Groups

The module adds a percentage-based discount for specific customer groups directly to the shopping cart and order totals. The workflow is simple: dealers, wholesalers, or loyal customers log into their accounts, build their carts, and instantly see their custom prices without waiting for manual recalculation by a manager.

The discount is linked directly to the customer group

In the admin panel, you can configure a unique discount percentage for each customer group. For instance, you can leave retail at 0%, set wholesale to 7%, and grant VIP customers a 12% discount. Once a buyer authorizes on the site, the store automatically detects their group and applies the correct discount to the cart total.

Setting up an automated discount for a customer group takes just a few seconds: simply select the desired group, enter the percentage, and save. On the storefront, the customer will see this discount displayed as a separate line item in the order summary, such as "10% Discount."

How the discount functions in the shopping cart

• Allows you to set different discount percentages for various customer groups.
• Group discounts apply automatically only after the customer logs into their account.
• Promotional sale items can be excluded from the calculation to prevent the group discount from stacking on top of special prices.
• The discount line can be shown, hidden, or set to appear only when the discount value is greater than 0%.
• The sorting order can be configured manually to position the discount line right after the subtotal and before the final total.

When does the group discount apply?

1. Wholesale buyers receive their designated percentage immediately in the cart, bypassing promo codes or back-and-forth messages with managers.
2. VIP clients see their personalized pricing terms right after logging in, while guest visitors continue to shop at standard retail prices.
3. Seasonal promotions do not conflict with group discounts, provided the exclusion for specially priced items is turned on.
4. Segmenting your audience or distribution markets becomes easy by utilizing groups for retail, partners, dealers, or internal employees.

Recommendation: Before launching, make sure to double-check the sort order in your Order Totals (Total) extensions. The discount line must be positioned strictly after the Sub-Total, otherwise the final calculations might look confusing or incorrect to the buyer.

This module provides an effortless way to manage target discounts for your customer tiers without creating coupons or updating every single product manually. All it takes is entering a percentage in the admin panel.
