Is the apparel add on what we need?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi

We are setting up a product cart for our client who orders batches of leaflets from us.

For example
The client pays £100 for 1000 leaflets, £150 for 2000 leaflets, £200 for 3000 leaflets etc.

As I understand it the standard product cart only allows for one price per item ie. 1000 leaflets = £100.

If I buy the apparel add on will i be able to add the different price breaks?

Any help/answers would be great!!

Matt

	Product options allow you to add to the initial price of a product in the STANDARD version of ProductCart too. The big different between the two is that with the Apparel Add-on product variations are actual records in the "products" table, which means that there are many properties that you can specify for them (price, images, inventory, etc.).

	So to make it clear, we could have a drop down menu that changed the price based on the quantity ordered?

	Hi Jask, that is correct. The name shown in the drop-down menu would be the name of the batch, from what we understand. So you would have: Leaflets Price: £100 Package Size > 1000 > 2000 - Add £50 > 3000 - Add £100 ... where Package Size is an "Option Group" and 1000, 2000, 3000 are "Option Attributes". The price will change dynamically to reflect the final price (if using the Apparel Add-on). The quantity box on the page would then refer to how many batches are going to be ordered (e.g. customer ordering 2 batches of 3000 leaflets). Edited by earlyimp - 14-January-2009 at 6:49am

	Thanks for that. Is there an option to remove the quantity box on the basis that by selecting the quantity required from the drop down the quantity box will always be 1 (which would be a bit strange for the user!)?

	There is no quick "flag" to do so in the ProductCart Control Panel, but it could certainly be done directly in the source code with a small ASP source code modification. The code detect that a certain product is being displayed (or that a certain option group is being used) and hide the quantity field, which would be replaced with a hidden form field whose value is hardcoded to "1".
