The discounts system for e-commerce project
Hello there. I am building e-commerce project. This project has a discounts system with different discounts.
There are three kinds of discounts:
- - PersonalDiscount
- - OrderTotalSumDiscount
- - PromocodeDiscount
I am looking for the best practices to organize this discount system. I'm considering a few variants of design patterns: Strategy, Decorator, Chain of responsibity.
The one important thing is that every discount systems could has some conditions of using:
For example if total price of order more that $2000, apply the discount, etc.
Could anybody advice me some solutions about this task. I would be happy to hear from you various options.
The database structure: http://joxi.ru/Vm6bXo3hGvjVmZ

Hi @symbios ,
I keep recommending using polymorphism to people here but I do think it is a pretty slick way to go about it: http://adamwathan.me/2015/09/02/chasing-perfect-at-laracon-eu/
and the follow up video (more about using eloquent to achieve it) http://adamwathan.me/2015/09/03/pushing-polymorphism-to-the-database/
Hope it helps!
Edit: oops - posted just after ^^ . Same recommendation :)
