Curious Question

[fabriccut100]

I sell fabrics on my site and was just wondering if I can somehow setup my products to sell half yards and quarter yards, I guess I would have to maybe do it with attributes but I'm not sure how to set them up so it will deduct the price, does anyone know where I can read a tutorial or find step by step directions on how I may do this? Thank you to all in advance for any help

Hi Kelly,

 

You can easily set up the attributes for most products with a little pre-planning.

 

For example:

 

Fabric A sells for 10.00 1/4 yard. So you set up the new product with the base price of 10.00 and describe it as 1/4 yard.

 

Then add the attribute 1/2 yard and 1 yard, increasing the cost accordingly for each new attribute.

 

When the customer looks at the product, they know they can purchase 1/4 yard for 10.00 and can also select the 1/2 yard and 1 yard option from the attribute drop down menu.

 

 

Hope this helps.

Chris,

 

Thank You so much for your insight, I think that may work, but I have so many products that it would take quite some time to change them all, I was wondering, do you think there may a contribution to add radio buttons for the quarter and half yards? but then I realized that the selection is made before the quantity can be added which means if I select a 1/4 yard when I add say a 2 in the quantity box it doubles the 1/4 at least that's what's happening when I tried to use the attributes, sorry to rant, but thank you so much for your quick response I really do appreciate it. if you can think of anything else please let me know THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
