    Are the built-in volume prices available in a feed?

    I have a client who is using the built-in volume pricing price group. They have the normal product price, but they also have a price break with a quantity of 1, and an absolute price that differs from the product price. So the product price is never used, only the quantity=1 price break is used.

    In the feeds, I'm passing the product price, and Google merchant center is giving errors that the prices don't match. Is there a way for me to check if there's a price break for quantity 1, and if so, use that instead of the product price?

    The token list doesn't seem to be very helpful on feed templates, although perhaps I'm just doing something wrong there. It doesn't show any products for me.

    Thanks in advance,
    Susan

    Hi Susan, I don't have an answer for you, but I'm curious. Why does the client have a "volume" discount for a quantity of 1? Can't they just change the regular price to that number?

      Kent, I have the same question. :) I am working with them to resolve that discrepancy, but I asked my question as a temporary fix.

        OK, well, I see that the question you asked was, "is there a way?" I'm pretty sure that the answer is Yes. If the question changes to "How?" sorry, I can't answer off the top of my head. But it should be possible to write template code that looks up each product in the price group-related DB tables, and checks whether it has a volume-price break for a quantity of 1. This would require a few mvt:do tags to call library functions that read the data about the product and the price group.

          Kent, that makes sense, and I can track down the function calls if needed. Thank you!
