RE: Startup product price and other price on the following

Hi

I am looking for at way to have a product startup price on lets say 200 for 1 piece but if I add 2 pieces to the cart the price is 201 i.e. the following only costs 1

Below is of the same product type, 4 different product types can have different startup and following prices.

Startup price = 200
Following product price = 1

1 product in cart = 200
2 products in cart = 201
3 products in cart = 202 and so on

Cant seem to find any solutions on this, but hoping it can be done via standard ecom.

Hi Peter

Using the price matrix, you can control the price depending on the number purchased:

http://manual.dynamicweb-cms.com/Default.aspx?ID=7155#30152

What you set there is price for each product based on the amount.

So you would add something like this:
Amount: 1: price 200/each
Amount 2: Price 100,5/each (201/2)
Amount 3: Price 67,3 (202/3)

Another option would be to create a Bill of Material (Parts list)
With that, create an unpublished product with the price to 1, and create a BOM product that consists of 1 of these products with the option to add more. Then set the price on the BOM product to be 200 and the price calculation to be base price + changes. Then adding product number 2 would give you 201, product nr. 3, 202 etc. Not easy and a bit cryptic....

That is the only way - otherwise you would have to make a price provider that can calculate the right price.

Hi Nicolai

The first option is the one I have tried at the moment but with numbers up to 1000's and above that would be a crazy list of prices on a single product :o)

The BOM way I have not thought off I will try that, and see if thats viable otherwise I'll post again if other solutions i available either standard og custom that is.

Thanks for the quick answer

Hi Peter

If you need an infinite number of products you could use a payment fee of 99,-, and add it to your product price in your template. Not a very elegant solution, but I think it is doable.

Hi Thomas
The fee solutions is not doable with the amount of different products and amounts but thanks :o)

@Nicolai
The BOM way seems to be a good idea, but cant seem to find any way of adding one product of price 200 to cart and after that only the BOM product of price 1 to cart i.e. the addition of only the BOM products afterwards. cant find any tags on templatetags that I can use.

Hi Nicolai

Do you have a posibility to guide me in the right direction with the BOM option, cant seem to get it to work right

Or a custom piece of code that take a custom field with a startup price and adds that to cart once and after that the price of the product only

Hope to hear a great and wonderful solution :o)

Best Regard

Hi Nicolai
