Price Factor

[farris12]

ok .

I think I can't use a fixed price, because of the fact that the pice depends on the # of liters...
So I think the best way is to doit with Attributes, isn't it?
But do I have to do something with the + or - in the attributes?

When there will be a new version of ZC (ever), they have to make this clearier...

[Ajeh]

On attributes, the + or blank is add to the Product Price (if any) and the - is subtract from it ...

I don't get it....

If I set a Product Price, I can't make qty discount (that's what it is, because for 2.5L you pay $5/L and for 5L you pay $4,5/L) because ZC is only working with the product price (and that's NOT $5 for 5L paint, but $4,5).

Everything that has to deal with 2.5L works by now, because that has to deal with the $5. But everything else then the 2.5L can doesn't work, because the price per liter gets lower when the costumer buys more...

It's very easy when I have my prices per can instead of per liter, but I haven't and calculating to 2.5L/5L etc is too much work if there is a option for it in ZC (if there isn't, then I have to )

Could you set the Product Price to the Price for 1 liter ...

Then set the Attribute for the 2.5 Liter to be:
Price Factor 2.5
Price Factor Offset 1.0

Price Factor 5
Price Factor Offset 1.0

etc. etc.

If you want to offer a discount on the number of liters, adjust the Price Factor and Price Factor Offset to obtain the right price ...


Otherwise, set the Product Price to 0.00 and set the Attribute Price to the correct amount for each of the sizes ...

If you then use Priced by Attribute, it will take that price as the displayed price ...

I've done what you were saying, but I still have the problem that ZC only deals with the 2.5L price....

These are my prices:

......................2.5L......5L.........10L
......................6.93/L....5.81/L....4.97/L
TOTAL incl TAX 19%:...20,62.....34.57.....59.14

But it doesn't work!! Only the price for 2.5L is right, that's because I've set the price to 6.93... But Price Factor 5 for 5L isn't working, because the price ISN'T 6.93/L but 5.81/L....

Hard problem :)

[Ajeh]

Is there anything stopping you from just saying on the Attribute itself the actual price instead of using the Price Factor?

[farris12]

I am pricing the attribute, but still I dont get how to let ZC calculate that i have 2.5/5/10 liter....
