Hi,

 

I have a client that wants to load up to 5 prices per product.

 

I initially thought of two solutions:

  • 4 Discounts to manage the 5 Price variations
  • Duplicate products

 

Is there an easier/better way to do this? The problem is telling Dynamicweb to add the product to the cart using Price3, for example.

 

My other problem is that I have the exact same product (name, image, description, ...) but we need stock management, selling reports, most sold products. Right now I can only think of duplicating products. Does anyone have an idea on how I can share some information and leave some other information splitted?

 

Some other notes:

  • Multiple languages needed
  • Variants needed (0 to 2 levels)
  • Multiple currencies needed

How are the 5 prices handled? Which one should apply and when. A few Words on the scenario would help.

 

In 8.3 we have a new Price interface coming. There you can add a number of prices with conditions to a product;

 

Price 1:

VariantID: VO1

Currency: EUR

Price: 100

 

Price 2:

VariantID: VO1

Currency: USD

Price: 120

 

Price 3:

VariantID: VO1

Currency: EUR

AMOUNT: 2

Price: 90

 

Price 3:

VariantID: VO1

Currency: EUR

AMOUNT: 2

Price: 90

 

etc. etc.

 

You will have these filters available:

- Price (text field like on product)
- Currency (Select box of all currencies. Default value = default currency. MUST be selected. Does not have a "Nothing selected")
- Variant (Select box with all variant combinations for this productID. Default value = "" saying "All variants" in the select)
- Quantity (text field)
- User (User selector - choose only one user)
- Group (Group selector - choose only one group)
- Valid from (date and time selector - default is empty - must be nullable.)
- Valid to (date and time selector - default is empty - must be nullable.)
- Period (Select box of periods. Default value = "", show "Nothing selected")
- Unit (Select box of units for this product. Default value = "", show "Nothing selected")
- Language (Select box of languages. Default value = "", show "Nothing selected")
- Country (Select box of countries. Default value = "", show "Nothing selected")
- Shop (Select box of shops. Default value = "", show "Nothing selected")

 

Makes sense?

Hi Nicolai,

 

I think it is feasable to wait for 8.3 :)

 

The price will be used according to:

 - user/group

 - shop

 - country

 

I've been taking a look at the Price Provider documentation, but will wait for this update before planning any development.

 

Do you have a screen dump for a sneak preview?

Hi Nicolai,

 

Looks nice and simple.

 

One suggestion on the subject of Prices (maybe for 8.4). How about setting up Price with VAT and Price w/o VAT on the Product. That way we would not have the problem of setting up Prices in DB checkbox and make the system a lot more versatile.

 

I know it requires mote changes to the interface, Default Price Provider and so forth, but would be a nice improvement. The field could have a "calculate" button, that would calculate the Price w/ or w/o VAT according to what was filled in/clicked.
