Pricing Attributes Help

I am work with v1.3.9h. I am trying to figure out if I can associate different pricing attributes based on quantity and also type.

For instance:

10 shirts = $100
20 shirts = $250
10 shirts - long sleeves = $120
10 shirts - full cotton = $130
20 shirts - long sleeves = $260
20 shirts - full cotton = $265

So, if a customer selects 10 shirts and than long sleeve the price would change by $20, but it they added cotton it would also add the addition $10.

However, if they select 20 shirts the base would be $250 and the addition long sleeve cost would only be $10 not $20.

I can easily program the base price and the attributes, but is it possible for zen to reference which quantity is selected and select the corresponding added cost?

If so, any detailed instructions would be helpful.

Re: Pricing Attributes Help

Whew! Shopping at your store will require a pHd in acturial calculus.

Perhaps you might keep things more simple for your customers?

OK.. my take on this... It may be easier to create long-sleeved as separate products alltogether.

When I buy shirts, that is usually my first criteria. Possibly other shoppers do the same.

So if you split your shirts by category:

  • Long-sleeved shirts
  • Short-sleeved shirts

... not only will it make life easier for you, but your customers won't need to go to university for 5 years before they fathom out how your pricing works.:D

Re: Pricing Attributes Help

That is just an example, probably not a good one. I am not selling shirts. However, the product I am selling needs to be able to be priced using a couple of variables tied to the price quantity. Not a discount, but an increase based on quantity and whatever other variable they select.

Is there a way to do that?
