Dynamic Pricing

Yeah Kobra, I got the price factoring to work nicely, or so I thought, but the factor only applies to the base price but as the pricing is also been done by attributes it didn't work.

For example: the smallest size blind cost £25 - if the slat width was 35mm then 20% had to be added to the price. Zen correctly adds £5 to the price in this instance. The next sized blind was £30 but Zen was still adding the £5 instead of 20%.

To get around this I set the three slat widths (25mm, 35mm & 50mm) as separate products and used attributes for the pricing and the colour selection - not as elegant but certainly workable.

attribute:

35mm
factor = 1
offset = .8

increment = .2x25 = 5.00

40mm
factor = 1
offset = .65

increment = .35x25 = 8.75

50mm
factor = 1
offset = .5

increment = .5x25 = 12.50

etc.

That's different to how I had it set up. I'll give that a go tomorrow and see if it works. If it does I'll owe a debt of gratitiude :)

Sadly this method is not working. It is still applying a percentage based on the lowest price rather than the attribute price that is selected. As Ajeh has posted in another thread, this is not something the cart is designed to do. I will have to stick to my current method for now and hope that this functionality is added in the future either as a feature or as a third party add-on.

Yes, this is what it is supposed to do....I do not see the issue...it must be a % based from some base and not from an "attribute selected" as the attribute has no price until selcted and then calculated...

But I am glad that you have a solution that is acceptable to you.
