unit price update when quantity is updated for jewellery store (quantity discounts)


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Been around the forums for ages and have usually found solutions to any problems up until recently. I'll start from scratch and hopefully get my point across enough for someone to point me in the right direction.

Feel free to ask for any clarifications as I’m quite confused as it is so maybe some things won't make much sense.

Ok. A client is going to be using the store that I’ve set up for selling jewellery; gemstones, components etc and the way he currently sells them in his normal store is in packets of a certain quantity. i.e.

4mm Bi-cones at: $0.08 per piece
Pack of 72pcs – $5.26
Pack of 144pcs - $9.77
Pack of 720pcs – $44.43

So in other words, the more you buy, the less you pay per piece. Obviously all products will have variable packs with quantities.

I’ve gotten to the stage where i’ve set up Combinations using The Group = “Pack of” and the attribute = “72pcs” so on and so forth. This works fine when the price adjustment is added once a pack has been selected using the drop down and the calculation is correct in the cart, BUT! And this is where my main issue comes in, when you’re either:

a) On the product page and select Pack of 72pcs and then enter 2 or more in the “quantity” field the Unit Price on the cart page does not adjust to the Unit Price for the 144pcs’ or more.

OR

B) Once on the cart page (having not selected a quantity from the product page) Click on the + to increase the quantity, again the Unit Price does not get updated.

I’ve even tried to incorporate some discounts but those don’t seem to be working at all unless i’ve completely screwed things up one way or another during the process.

I came across this site through a thread in the forum and it seems the Unit Price is being updated correctly so for a working example of what I require in Prestashop this would probably be a good showcase of it: http://michaelmason.ca/prestashop/product.php?id_product=11

A site which my client has shown me and pointed out that this is how he wants his site to function would be jewelrysupply.com. if you add a product to your cart and then update the quantity you’ll see that the unit price adjusts to the quantity of items you’re ordering according to their chart.

The site is not live as I currently have it in maintenance mode so if someone wants to have a look at it I’ll need an IP address in order to give you access to it for some time.

Even a module that could do something like this would be great, already available or i would even be willing to pay for something like this to be developed.

Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

It was actually easier than i though, i just complicated things what with my client not having any idea what he wanted.

I set up the appropriate amounts in the "Discounts" section of each product and it works perfectly, no combination's were needed at all and everything get's updated and adjusted accordingly in the cart when the + or - is used.
