Overview #
eCat supports showing customers how much they've saved on an order based on a comparison price level. The savings amount display at the bottom of the order PDF and if desired, at the bottom of the order email.
- The comparison amount is the difference between the extended prices of each item at the comparison price level without promos, discounts, contract pricing, or quantity pricing, and the total ext price at the currently selected price level (i.e. the net merchandise total).
- If the comparison amount is negative or 0, no comparison will be shown.
- The price comparison assumes the comparison price level is in the same currency as the order price level.
Setup #
To show 'amount saved' on orders, select a comparison price level in the eCat admin portal Tools/Company Settings page. After a comparison price level is selected, all orders for the company will show the following message below the 'Net Merchandise Total' in the order PDF.
"You saved $<amount>"
Use the variable %PriceComparison% to add the same "amount saved" text shown in the order PDF to the order email template.
