Attribute is showing incremental price, not total price

I can't help but think I'm overlooking something obvious (or that the answer is already posted here), so apologies if either of those is the case....

I have a product available in two sizes, standard and large.

Product is defined with price of $30.00
Attribute Size Standard is +$0.00
Attribute Size Large is +$13.00

I want the attribute prices to show:
Standard: $30.00
Large: $43.00

Instead they show the incremental price, blank for Standard and +13.00 for Large. Product "Priced by Attributes" is set to Yes. I thought that should cause total price to be shown, not incremental. :frusty:

Re: Attribute is showing incremental price, not total price

OK - went through it again really slowly this time - got it to work. Not sure everything that went wrong in my previous attempts, but the last time through found I was editing the attribute I wanted, but not for the product I wanted :oops: Works great if you edit the right thing! :lookaroun

Re: Attribute is showing incremental price, not total price

I suspect the issue (when it is causing trouble) is the + at the far left under prices and weights in the attribute controller.

To display a price rather than an increment for an attribute value:

  1. remove the plus sign under prices and weights (leave the field blank)
  2. enter the total price in the price column
  3. leave all others blank.

Re: Attribute is showing incremental price, not total price

The + is not causing the problem; + and blank are both treated the same by the system. The trick is using the whole price for the attribute, and having a zero price for the base product. Removing the + is cosmetic, making the display read correctly, like ($1.49) instead of (+$1.49).

Re: Attribute is showing incremental price, not total price

Can someone help me with this, say I have a product and it has 3 atttributes, width, length and height; I want to set the price based on the combination of the three rather than individually setting prices for each attribute. Is it possible? Please help me out real quick guys.... :huh:

Re: Attribute is showing incremental price, not total price

The short answer is that it's not possible.
What you want is a variation on dependent attributes, where the value of one attribute depends on the value of a previous one.

You would have to write some serious custom code to get this.
