How to Implement: Item with Multiple Prices?

[not_steve]

I have a client who sells forms (exciting, huh?). Forms don't have a per-item price; the price is by how many 100s or 1000s you buy, ala:

 

100: $35

250: $55

500: $75

 

Problems:

 

1) Product does not have a single or base price.

2) The Quantity field is meaningless.

 

 

I am an experienced PHP coder, but am new to osCommerce; I don't want to go needlessly (and ignorantly) hacking.

 

Thanks,

 

Bill

To reply to my own post, here is how I plan to do it (must be a better way?)

 

1) Set the price for these items to 0.00

2) Change the PHP so if an item has a price of 0.00, the don't display the price.

3) Use an attribute for each quantity (e.g. 100 = $35).

4) Change the PHP so if an item has a price of 0.00 don't show the Quantity information.

 

Again, thanks

Why not just set up the different sizes (quantities) as attribute/options?

You can make the attribute/option different prices than the lowest price/quantity then either add or subtract cost depending on what you want.

Have you considered the contribution Quantity Price Breaks Per Product?

Thats a good idea ms wendy. But then i want the price of the other attributes to change by the quantity order

if you have any suggestion about how that is possible, please do let me know as i am losssst lol ..

i was thinking to make a calculate button on product info page. and then let it calculate the price of the item based on quantity and the attributes .

 

and i cant set a percentage overall , as the price breakdown is different with the total item price and the attrivute price so thats why .

 

please feel free to IM me .: mmkay0440

 

thanks ms. wendy james for your reply

i appreciate it

Is there a way that this can be done per item? For instance, I work for a company that sells mattresses with addons. Let's say you get a twin bed that's $500 and you want to add a massaging pad. For that size it'd be $50, but for a queen it'd be $100. Is that possible, maybe a contribution already out for that?
