[Help] Additional fee/surcharge

[Sardonic76]

Hi!

I want to do the following.

Say I wish to buy 100 invitations at $2.00 each. That would be $200.00 in total.

 

BUT...

I want to add a printing charge:

a) $50.00 for digital printing

or

$60.00 for foil printing

This fee needs to be an option on the product page and to be added only ONCE to the total of the invitations.

 

How can I do that?

Any ideas??

Sounds to me like you just need to create two attributes (e.g. $50/digital printing and $60/foil printing) then add these attributes to each product. The customer can then select the attribute they want.

 

Hope that helps!

Unfortunately, that doesn't help as it multiplies the printing for every invitation:

 

100 invites (at $2.00 each) + 100 printing charges (at $50.00 each) = $5,200.00

 

But I need:

 

100 invites (at $2.00 each) + 1 printing charge (at $50.00 each) = $250.00

 

Any clue? Basically it shouldn't multiply the charge, but it should add it ONCE to the total.

That's not the way I understood it ---

 

product = 100 invites priced at $200

attributes = $50 digital printing;

$60 foil printing

 

Order

100 invites $200

+ $50 digital printing

-------------------------

$250 total

 

To do what you want to do I think you would need to offer the invites in packages (e.g. 10 invites/$20; 25 invites/$50; 100 invites/$200) then they would select the printing option.

 

Not sure if that helps or not.

I see what you're saying. That's good to have in mind as a back up plan in case I can't do what I actually want.

It's just that it's very limiting this way. Also, I'm not sure how I would apply price discounts for larger quantities (and make it obvious to the buyer) without doing it manually.

I have used osCommerce in the past and I had found a module that did what I'm looking for. Wish I could find one here.

Did you find a solution to this?
