Please help! Question about product pricing of multiple attributes within a product

[martharb]

I have set up the product price to be $5and not priced by attributes. I guess I need to know if I should force the customer to put total number of tests in the top box (next to "add to cart"). Ideally I would love to have these costs add up by themselves as this Zencart customer has done on her page:

http://www.smockingstore.com/gloriana.html

Basically do I need to make any changes in the attribute controller (prices & weights) under each of these three "test quantity" attributes and put in some factor so that the number of each test will be multiplied by $5?

Thanks!

The site you linked to is not a Zen Cart site....

Sorry I was under the assumption she was using zencart because the woman who owns this company had posted on this message board.

I still would like to know if our customers need to type in the TOTAL number at the top or if the total can be summed up from the separate fields. I am getting very frustrated with this and really hope to get this resolved today.

Thank you!

As I posted earlier using this method

So they could enter 30 test 2, 30 test 3, 30 test four and they enter the total ordered as 90

OK, thanks, I guess it will not work the way I originally intended but I will force the customer to fill out the total number of tests at the top and not be able to reflect the $5 shipping cost (which is also the base cost). It is quite unfortunate that text fields can't be used to multiply prices and then go toward the total cost.

Thanks for your help.

ot be able to reflect the $5 shipping cost

This can be a mandantory/default selected Attribute for this product
