FAQ / Troubleshooting

Q. I set a vendor for xx% discount for group members only. The vendor is set to the correct group and I'm wearing the correct group tag. I reset the vendor, but there's still no visible discount.

A1. Pay menus now offer the discounted price in addition to the regular price. This may be disabled if you choose, as sometimes customers may find this confusing. If you disable this option, then the next answer will apply.

A2. The vendor gives a discount via a refund. It will NOT change the visible price you pay to the vendor initially, but it will refund the difference to the customer.

A3. Alternately, you can set up group discount profiles (with appropriate discounted pricing), group them into a separate vendor, and rez that under the group you want to give the discount to.

Q. I want to use a vendor to give group gifts. I tried setting the vendor to L$0, but the lowest it will go is L$1. Is there a way to do this totally free and only for members of my group?

A1. The vendor WILL refund the L$1 that they pay (to make it free.)

A2. Alternately, your group members should be able to "touch" (click) the vendor and select "Deliver" from the menu.

A3. Casper Warden writes: "You can also disable the touch menu, then they can just get the object by touching the vendor."

Not what you needed?

If this doesn't answer the "How do I...?" question you have, perhaps you need the page on Setting a store-wide sale instead?
