Products Price Manager & Quantity Discounts Attributes

[minskin]

Hi,

I'm new to Zen so I'm still finding my way.....

I have been setting up quantity discounts using Products Price Manager but quickly discovered that I need a quicker method. I imagined I'd be able to edit them in excel and insert them into the database but no headers appeared for PPM to edit when I download the full database via EP. Is that right?

I have therefore looked at creating quantity discounts using product attributes but I've tried a few times now and have to admit that I'm really not getting it!! All I have managed to achieve so far is a single radio button on the product page, instead of a drop down, a link to a quantity discounts table on a new page and to double the price instead of discounting it.

Is there an idiots start-to-finish guide to creating product price attributes anywhere? I can find guides to parts but not to everything. Once I get the gist of it I'll be away but so far it eludes me
