    Default Change price of whole category by percent

    Hi,

    I am setting up a store for a client who has a Canadian site and a US site.

    The only difference in the sites is the shipping options and the prices of one of the categories.

    Is it possible to change the price of all the products in this category by a fixed amount all at once or do I need to go in and change every price individually?

    Thanks,
    Esther

    Hi Esther,
    You may be able to take advantage of the benefits of SaleMaker that comes with a standard Zen Cart.

    There may be some coding to remove the 'Sale' text but it looks to be the quickest way to change the price of a whole category.

    Give it some thought...
    Hope that helps,

    If it's a one time thing, then could do a sql command that would take advantage of the category information as part of the where statement. Or, could use something like easy populate to export the original data, change the prices then upload to the second database.
