What is the best way to give a discount for multiple purchases? Shipping discounts on maybe 1 or 2 items works out ok, but if someone buys 6 or 7 the shipping can be outrageous. Any ideas?

Hello Tracy,
With that many items it would be hard to setup where you didn't have to do some sort of adjustment after the fact, if your using Fixed shipping rates.
Use the 'cost per additional' fields when setting up the shipping costs for your items, so the system knows how much to charge for shipping if the item is send by itself Vs when combined into a larger package with other items. (the system will automatically charge the highest regular shipping rate, then use the 'cost per additional' for the rest of the items in the order.)
