How do I assign a monetary value to an option.

I have created my options for my shop. I need to assign a monetary values to each of the sizes offered in the drop down menu. Is there a way to do this and if so will the base price shown change as the customer makes a choice?

The price of the option is entered in the attributes controller for the selected option value. There are basically two ways to do pricing, either the option selected adds an amount (or subtracts) to the base price of the product, or if it is desired that the option value is the price of the product then there are some other changes necessary to have the product priced by attributes.

The displayed price will not be updated unless additional code is added to the site. There is a plugin that provides dynamic price updating available through the downloads area.

It depends on whether you want Zencart to add a certain amount over the base price for each size, or if you don't want to have a base price and price each size individually.
