MAP Pricing

[skookumnarrows]

Hi Everyone,

Would like to know if anyone has tried the M.A.P. pricing add-on for Zen. My webmaster downloaded it along with the Zen upgrade and it seemed to install OK but I can't find any signs of its presence in the Admin area.

I have two products that I must display with a Manufacturers Advertised Price but then would like to put my price in the cart so that a customer only needs to add the product and then my pricing will be displayed.

This is such an important product for my business. I tried searching for an answer in the forum but no luck. If anyone can point me in the direction for help - great. Or, can tell us how you solved this problem in the cart - better still.

I would be very grateful.

I just installed it on a test site, and, while I can see the option in admin, it doesn't work in the store.

All the admin files and one of the cart files in the mod have been changed in 1.3.9, so I guess this mod isn't going to work until it's upgraded.

I contacted 'SlickRicky' (Richard Kersey) to see if he had more info about installing his add-on. He responded by offering to work on a newer version for $500. Sad to say, that is way beyond my budget.

This would be a good project for a community member to take on (hint, Dr. Byte?) There must be many more in my position who need to deal with a MAP policy. I just wish I knew coding - guess I could use a hobby

Thanks, Stevesh, for doing the test. I will pass the word onto my webmaster.

Hmmm, I just tested this on a Fresh Install of 1.39a and it works as advertised using the Store Demo products

While editing a product, I clicked on the box that says to Enable Map Pricing and then where indicated, gave it a Map Price.

When I looked at it in the cart, it said:
$95 For an even lower price add to cart.

When I added it to the cart, it was $89.99 and stayed at the price all the way thru checkout.

I am using 1.39a and PHP 5.30. Please let me know what is on your site (stevesh) that it did not work and what is on your site (skookumnarrow)? Maybe we can track this down.

Remember, Always BACKUP your files and DB before changing any file!

Doh! I missed the radio button to enable MAP pricing. Works fine now.

Cool, glad it was a real easy fix for you then. It happens to all of us now and then.

Hi JTheed,

Thanks for giving this add-on a test. The cart was updated to version 1.39a but I don't know about the PHP so I have sent this thread page to my friend, Rick, who looks after the technical details for my site. Even though he downloaded the MAP add-on, I am not seeing the "Enable MAP pricing" radio button in the Admin area where you input your product info (name, pricing, etc.) I am afraid Rick is the only one who can answer any questions about the database, files, etc.

I wish I knew more about the 'internals' of the cart...LOL.

JTheed & Stevesh,

Was there anything you had to do in Configuraton once you downloaded the MAP add-on? Maybe, there is something that should be done to view the radio button that was missed?

Other than uploading the SQL changes, no.

Here is what you should see in EVERY product page when you add or edit one:

Enable Map Pricing? Yes No *Will not display price except in the shopping cart.
Tax Class:
Map Price (the lowest price you can advertise) *Leave to 0, if you do not want to display the map price.
Products Price (Net):
Products Price (Gross):
