Shopping Cart Price Rules, is such condition possible?

Question

I am trying to setup a discount that gives:

• 20 USD off for orders over 100 USD
• 40 USD off for orders over 200 USD
• etc.

The issue:

• One category has items for $2-4 each

Is there any way to setup price rules so the cheap items from specific categories are not calculated into the amount?

The best I could think of: exclude discount if category matches X, but that just removes discount completely if user adds any cheap items.

Is there a better way?

Answer 1

In your price rule conditions just specify that the category is not X

You'll need two rules, one for each discount. Set the priority of the higher discount rule to be lower so it runs first and then stop other rules processing.
