Prices displaying incorrectly

This is for a shop with only 15 products but has quantity discounts. An item that costs $7.95 has quantity discounts when purchased in quantities of 5, 24 or 50 which are the only options (attributes)

1. I setup a Product Option as: quantity and gave it a dropdown feature.
2. I gave it Option Values of 1, 5, 24 and 50
3. Under Attribute Controller I selected the category item and hit display.
4. I chose the Option Name and the Values from the Adding New Attributes box and hit Insert.
5. They are displayed as:

quantity 1 7.95
quantity 5 35.95
quantity 24 171.95
quantity 50 334.95

Haven't touched the Price Factor or Offset but I did remove the '+' in the box just before the Price box.

In the online catalog for the item I would like the dropdown to display the total price for the 4 options in the dropdown. What it is doing now is adding $7.95 to the item when a quantity of 5 is selected. So instead of being $35.95 it is charging $43.90 etc.

How do I fix this?

Ooops Disregard...

Anyone?

Have you considered this rather than doing the discounts through attributes?

I'd like to do this as a drop down menu.

While I haven't researched what it would take to apply/modify the plugin suggested by stevesh to provide dropdowns, on the original issue, what is/was the price applied to the product's listing while the other options are present? Is it 0 or 7.95?

Ask because the instructions provided in the FAQ/wiki lead to the results you are looking for, but it appears that something isn't/wasn't set right. Having looked at the description of the plugin I think it is a good solution overall, but it appears to not meet the style of presentation desired without further modification.

If I understand your original post, you would need to set the products to Price by Attribute, then assign the proper price to each attribute.

See if this works as a solution to your dilemma:
Edit product to display Products Price (Net): 0.0000
Set Product Priced by Attributes: No

Add the + back in to Price Prefix in your Prices and Weights in the attributes controller.
Continue with the data you have entered.

Hope that helps,

It is set to $7.95 so that you can choose an option of 1 each.

So setting the price to $0.00 and Setting the Product Priced by Attributes: Yes fixed it.

Thanks!

I tend to have to go back and test some settings periodically regarding this topic as already in this thread one has said to use price by attribute and one has said not to. My recollection though is to set the products price to 0, and set as price by attribute. Then in the attribute manager to provide the price for each attribute. (With or without a +, ie blank or +) either way the price will increase but I think you won't see a + before the price of the item if you leave it blank.

So, in effect to correct your issue, I think if the base price of the product is 0 and set to price by attribute that your store will show correctly. I've tried to find some other threads related to it, but haven't been as successful as desired/expected.
