About this Product
The Employee / Staff Purchase Discount Program turns your existing Magento 2 storefront into a controlled internal perk channel without forking your catalog or standing up a second store. ECOSIRE builds it as a proper module under app/code/Ecosire/EmployeeDiscount, wired through di.xml, service contracts and Magento's event/observer system so your staff-purchase logic lives in one auditable place instead of scattered cart-rule hacks.
At its core sits a dedicated 'Employee' customer group with its own catalog price rules and tier mapping. A catalog_product_price plugin (interceptor) and a quote total collector decide whether a given SKU shows catalog-level staff pricing (visible list price for logged-in employees) or a cart-level staff discount (applied at checkout via a custom total), so you control exactly where the perk appears. Per-staff or per-tier rules let a "Director" tier differ from a "Warehouse" tier, driven by a customer attribute rather than manual coupon distribution.
Spending controls are first-class: annual or rolling-period spend caps per employee are tracked in a custom table, enforced in an observer on sales_order_place_after, and surfaced to the buyer before they over-spend. Eligibility gating verifies staff via corporate email domain or an issued code before the group is granted — no public coupon leakage.
Everything is exposed through admin ACL-protected configuration, optional REST/GraphQL endpoints for HR-system integration, and a cron job to reset caps each period. This is honest build-to-order: there is no instant Adobe Commerce Marketplace download. ECOSIRE scopes it to your theme and Magento version (Open Source or Adobe Commerce), installs it on your environment, and supports it after launch.
What you get
- A custom Magento 2 module (Ecosire_EmployeeDiscount) delivered as source under app/code, with composer packaging and semantic versioning
- Installation and configuration on your Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce environment (staging first, then production) by ECOSIRE engineers
- Configured Employee customer group, tier mapping, catalog/cart discount rules and spend-cap policy matched to your perk rules
- Eligibility gating set up for your verification method (email domain allowlist and/or issued codes)
- Admin ACL roles so only authorized HR/finance staff can manage the program
- Cron and database schema (declarative schema db_schema.xml) for spend tracking and period resets
- Optional REST/GraphQL integration wiring if you sync with an HR system or SSO
- A short admin runbook plus a 30-minute handover walkthrough, and post-launch support per your plan
Who this is for
HR / People Operations Lead
Wants a real employee-store perk with guardrails — defined eligibility, fair tiers and spend limits — without asking IT to hand-manage coupons or risk public discount leakage.
Magento Merchant / eCommerce Manager
Runs the storefront and needs the staff program to live inside the existing Magento install, respect tax and theme, and not break checkout or catalog performance.
Finance / Controller
Needs auditable spend caps per employee and per-period reporting so the perk's cost is capped, reconcilable, and tied to who actually consumed allowance.

Frequently Asked Questions about Employee / Staff Purchase Discount Program
Is this an instant download from the Adobe Commerce Marketplace?
No. This is an honest build-to-order extension. ECOSIRE builds the module to fit your Magento version, theme, tax rules and eligibility policy, then installs it on your own Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce environment. There is no Marketplace listing or one-click download — you receive the actual source under app/code plus a managed installation.
How long until it's live? What's the delivery lead time?
A typical build runs about one working week depending on how many tiers you need, whether you require HR/SSO integration, and your staging/release process. After a short scoping call we confirm a fixed timeline. We always deploy and validate on staging before touching production.
What ongoing support and updates do I get after launch?
You get a support window for bug fixes and configuration adjustments, plus optional ongoing maintenance. Because it's a clean module under app/code wired through di.xml and service contracts (no core edits), it is upgrade-safe across Magento patch releases. We can quote Magento version-upgrade compatibility checks as part of a maintenance plan.
Does it work on both Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce?
Yes. The module is built on standard Magento 2 APIs — customer groups, catalog price rules, quote total collectors, observers, ACL and cron — so it runs on both Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce. On Adobe Commerce we can additionally align with native B2B/company features if you use them.
How is staff eligibility verified so the discount doesn't leak publicly?
Eligibility is gated before the Employee customer group is granted. We support corporate email-domain verification and/or issued one-time codes, with optional REST/GraphQL sync to your HR system or SSO as the source of truth. Discounts only apply to verified, logged-in staff in the Employee group — never via a public coupon.
Can it stop an employee from exceeding their allowance?
Yes. Annual or rolling-period spend caps are tracked per employee in a dedicated table and enforced in a sales_order_place_after observer, with remaining allowance shown to the buyer beforehand. A cron job resets caps each period, and finance gets a per-employee, per-period spend report for reconciliation.
