From February 2024, Ireland's Deposit Return Scheme will come into effect so that when you buy a drink in a plastic bottle, aluminium or steel can that features the Re-turn logo, you pay a small deposit in addition to the price of the drink.
To enable this, AB Commerce provides the following additional functionality:
- Admin
- When adding/updating a product, you can enter the following additional fields:
- Deposit Price - The additional charge for the item
- Deposit Quantity - This defaults to 1 but allows you specify an alternative quantity that the price must be multiplied by - e.g. if this is set to 6 and the deposit price is set to €0.15, the total deposit for 1 item will be 6 X €0.15 = €0.90
- When adding/updating a product, you can enter the following additional fields:
- Admin - Bulk File Upload
- When uploading a product file in bulk, the following additional fields can be included if you want to bulk update them manually:
- DepositPriceEURO - [ or DepositPriceSTG or DepositPriceUSD if your website base currency is STG or USD ]
- DepositQuantity
- When uploading a product file in bulk, the following additional fields can be included if you want to bulk update them manually:
- Systems Integration
- When uploading a product file, the following additional fields can be added to the product file if you want to automatically update these from the epos/erp:
- DepositPriceEURO - [ or DepositPriceSTG or DepositPriceUSD if your website base currency is STG or USD ]
- DepositQuantity
- When uploading a product file, the following additional fields can be added to the product file if you want to automatically update these from the epos/erp:
- Product Detail Page
- When viewing a product, if there is a deposit price set above, it will display as a separate line in addition to the price
- View Basket Page
- On the view basket page, the additional payments for the deposits will simply be extra order items that come through with the order.
- And since there are 2 charges - €0.15 and €0.25 – there will be a maximum of 2 order items per order as we will sum up all charges for each deposit price into 1 line.
- And the product codes are:
- DEP015 - All charges at €0.15
- DEP025 - All charges at €0.25
- Order Display, Download & Automated Emails
- This means that when viewing an order, or if your epos/erp is downloading an order - and for automated order emails - the deposit charges will be treated like any other order item.
