Attribute price functionality question

[avetar]

I'm setting up a website for a printing company and I need the product detail page to return a different set of prices for the 2nd attribute depending on which option is selected in the 1st attribute.

For example:

- 1st attribute is paper Type - Users selects Type A

- 2nd attribute is paper Color - User selects Red

Price = $100

 

- 1st attribute is paper Type - Users selects Type B

- 2nd attribute is paper Color - User selects Red

Price = $150

 

 

So based on the fact that I chose Type A or type B for the 1st attribute the price for the second attribute (color) will be different (even thought the second attribute is Red in both instances). Does anyone know of a contribution that does this?

Robert,

 

I don't think you need a contribution for this.

 

Using your example:

 

Base price is 100.00

 

Option: Paper Type

- 1st attribute is paper Type - Users selects Type A

- 2nd attribute is paper Type - Users selects Type B

 

Option: Paper Color

- 1st attribute is paper Color - User selects White

- 2nd attribute is paper Color - User selects Red (+50.00)

 

 

Would this not yield the same results ?

Thanks for your reply. Maybe this example will help clarify my issue (I hope).

 

So if I select Paper type A and base price = $100

Then I select Red (+$50)

My total becomes $150

 

but is I select Paper type B and the base price is = $150

Then I select Red (+75)

My total becomes $225

 

So basically I need the price for the second attribute (Red in this example) to adjust based on which paper type I chose.

 

I hope this is a better explanation. Thanks for you help.

Does the increase in price for the attributes stay the same? Meaning why can't you just make the base price for product B $175 so that the final result is the same?

 

OR make the attribute "paper type B" +$25
