Individual pricing for product versions

I'm likely to go ahead with Product Cart soon but there's one area I can't work out.

If we have a product that comes in difference sizes eg 12mm, 14mm, 16mm how can I show the actual price for those when using product options or Apparel Add-on?

In other words, I don't want a base price with a premium for each size, just the item price.

Would I have to start with a base of 0.00 and the use the actual price as the add-on? (or at least is this the easiest way of doing it?) Alternatively, is is straightforward to modify the Apparel system to use the sub-prpduct details for price instead of the main product? Presumably the data field is available to do this?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can make a sound suggestion.

Hi Kiwi, it's not yet an option in the Control Panel, but for now can be accomplished with a small source code modification: http://www.earlyimpact.com/faqs/afmviewfaq.asp?faqid=518

Hi Kiwi, for this type of complex sale you will need the Build To Order version of ProductCart with the Conflict Management system. ProductCart Build To Order was designed exactly to allow the sale of products and services that are defined by the customer during the purchasing process.

The combination of BTO and Conflict Management will allow you to accomplish what you described:

• All options are actually indivisual SKUs
• The "Pot" options would become available/unavailable automatically based on the tree that the customer selects (Conflict Management system)
• The two items are added to the cart as one (what we call the "Build To Order" product).
• You can easily offer additional options/selections. For example, there might be accessories, related products, etc. You can show all of them on the configuration page, and "conflict management" rules can be setup so that only compatible products can be selected.

If you need additional information and clarifications, it might be best to setup a call with one of our staff. Contact us to setup a call, if you wish to do so.
