petercascio Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 We offer silk screen printing for some of our products and charge -- a one-off fee for setting up the artwork -- a per item charge for each item silk screened -- cost of the item, of course! Is there a contribution that would let us do this? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitseffort Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 seems you could do this with the standard attributes--have a base price, then an attribute for the one off fee, then an attribute for quantity, with the appropriate price increase all added to the base price "I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings." ---Margaret Mead--- "The answer is never the answer.

petercascio Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 I tried that but then when they bought several copies EACH one charged the setup fee, instead of it being charged just once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitseffort Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 if you have a drop down for the number of copies there should only be the one charge applied when they hit add to cart unless after adding to cart they then update the cart with multiple orders, solve that by not allowing updating quantites in the cart, force the correct number to be added by a drop down on the product listing Just my thoughts--maybe I am not seeing the picture right "I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings." ---Margaret Mead--- "The answer is never the answer.

petercascio Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 People would buy a minimum of 10 copies, but might buy hundreds or (hopefully) thousands as promotional gifts. Maybe I'm missing something but I can't see how to achieve this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitseffort Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 in the drop down for quantity have the options of buy 1, buy 5, buy 10, buy 50, buy 1000, buy 5000 ----etc... ...with the appropriate fee being added for each option---maybe I am missing something--emails are hard to get real communication thru I know I hope this helps "I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings." ---Margaret Mead--- "The answer is never the answer.

petercascio Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'd have to add an option for every possible quantity someone might buy? But that's impossible.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitseffort Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Dont know what to tell you then--most printing online companies I have ordered from have standard amounts--so no one would ever order 13 or some wierd number. That is how I would do it--not sure what else you will come up with, search the contributions I suppose "I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings." ---Margaret Mead--- "The answer is never the answer.

petercascio Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 well, I tried the contributions and couldn't find anything that worked. we are not a printing company, this is an add-on service for us and people buy as few as 10 and as many as several thousand of our product...

rabbitseffort Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 why cant you have mandatory minimums? like 10, or 20, or 30, 1000 etc... if they dont have the option to order 19 or 1002 then there is no troubles setting up the atttributes then remove the update cart feature for adding more of a product, then that does away with the double set up fee charge "I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings." ---Margaret Mead--- "The answer is never the answer.
