    Default Need to show product price as ONE OF the attributes price, but not lowest??

    Hi

    Here's my issue... a customer has a product that comes in various options. Each option is priced different and ranges from say £5 to £200. The normal setup would be the product price shows "Starting At: £5" and they can choose which option.

    But they need the product price to show the "main" option of all these options, which is say £180. And they dont want Starting At to show. So product price is £180, and then there are all the options from £5 to £200.

    Problem is if I use Product price to set £180, it ADDS any option to this, whereas I dont want it to add the option, I want the actual option price to be used. So if I set priced by attributes and product price £0 is says "Starting At: £5".

    So is it possible to have a product price showing (or one of the option prices) but the actual option prices are used when adding to cart and not added to the main price?

    Hope you know what I mean.

    Thanks

    Try this on a TEST product.

    Create a test product, and in the ADD NEW PRODUCT screen, give it a price of 0.0000

    This makes the base price "null" so the prices you associate with the attributes will now apply "in full"

    Click radio button that says "Priced By Attributes".

    Save product.

    Create appropriate attributes, giving sort orders to them.

    Then, apply your attributes as normal, making sure to use the + feature to add the ACTUAL value to each attribute. If you use radio / dropdown attributes, make the STANDARD product (eg: £180) to display as the DEFAULT selected.

    When you have added all attributes, click the Default Sort Order button.

    Your selections will now display, with the STANDARD product selected as default, with a price of £180

    Get rid of Starting at...

    ADMIN >>> CATALOG >>> PRODUCT TYPES

    Go to Product General

    On right hand side, click EDIT LAYOUT

    You'll see what to do next...

    SET: Show Starting At text on Price TO YOUR NEEDS.

    Excellent! Thanks very much for the very prompt reply. I tried it and its working. It seems all attributes were Base Price so just having the default one to Base Price, the rest off, and setting price to zero, and the sort order worked. I did not add the price prefix + to it and it looks like that is working too.

    Thanks a lot.

    Ah of course... no need to have the + ...

    Just leave it blank...
