Different prices for different countries

[IntelCos]

I think it needs to be looked in a sense that country detection is a basic need prior to anything, from that the store directs to as many structures as one requires from a global point.

Example

Distribution vs Wholesale vs Retail

Retail price is determined on a world scale meaning products sold in Japan made in Canada would most certainly be taken into effect as well. In many cases an import product carries 30 to 50 % retail pricing increases if not more(again depends on product and market, I'm not talking selling comic books)

Thus, Say we have 4 global retail prices set.

We also have a wholesale levels (say 30 40 & 50)

and

Distribution (40 and 50, say a gold level and a silver level)

that means my break done on one region would be as follows

Retail - 20.00
W 15 12 and 10
D 6 and 5

as examples(don't get snicky on my math example, it's an example only)


I can see where group pricing is one part to set my Wholesale levels based on one retail price. But, the missing link is the retail price based on the global setting as mentioned above plus the optional distribution hook as well.

Distribution I think in this case is a long shot setting to add on as well as the math and logic behind it would be a task in a half, but what a beauty of a mod it would be.

You have the full capacity to easily set wholesale/distribution and global pricing with attribute options to set what ever discount structure you use.

I've seen many addons that come up part way, but never to this level of use and it would be a great feat for any guru out there, just don't ask me how to program it, but test it and help with the logic towards it, no problem.

Nettwerk Music Group http://www.nettwerk.com/ is looking for somebody with Zen Cart programming experience to build us a module simmilar to what is laid out in this thread. Basically imagine something simmilar to how iTunes works.

You choose your country. That determines a currency and a pricing structure. eg. In the UK you get charged 7 pounds for a CD and it actually dumps a *real* 7 pounds into a UK bank account without conversion. In Canada you get charged in Canadian funds and the money goes into a Canadian account without conversion, etc...

Small countries without large sales numbers (eg. Iceland) would get dumped into one US dollar over-ride account.

Willing to pay anybody with previous Zen Cart module writing experience. Anybody interested give me a shout: [email protected].

hi there, did you ever get someone to make this module? i am interested in this as well.

however, mine gets more complicated. i have two zones (customer groups) to sell in with different prices/product. i am only selling wholesale, but then each product will have a 4 tier quantity discount as well.

i am almost thinking what is required is two zen stores / database setups one for each zone. when you enter a login it shunts you to the right store.

any thoughts on that. (of course the two store solution only makes sense if you only have two zones.)
