Adding weights instead of units in "QTY"

[Tryintolearn]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking at putting together a site for a retailer. Instead of Quantity of units (1,2,3) is it possible to add a drop down box allowing the weight options 250 gms, 500 gms and 1 Kg. So a meat product that costs $20 a kilo would show the appropriate total according to the weight...i.e. $5.00 if someone takes 250 gms or $50.00 if someone buys 2 and half kilos and so on.

I hope it makes sense.

Plenty of thanks guys.

Cheers

In PrestaShop v1.3.1, the only way to do that is to use attributes. Create an attribute group "Weight" with attributes "250g", "500g" and "1kg". Then go to the "Product combinations generator" on the "3. Combinations" tab of the product editor, select the attributes, then manually calculate the prices and enter them as the price impacts, then click "Generate", then "Back to product".

Per-unit pricing is coming in PrestaShop v1.4. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like. You can test it out by downloading the SVN trunk, but v1.4 is only in alpha stages, so it isn't ready for production use.

Thanks Rocky. Appreciate your help. I will give it a try and give you some feedback.

Thanks again.

Per-unit pricing is coming in PrestaShop v1.4. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like.

I just installed the 1.4 from trunk, in the 'Info' tab clicked on the 'Click here to edit the unit prices' and 'Weight price' or 'Volume price' are not present there.

This feature is removed in the 1.4 Alpha 2?

[Tryintolearn]

I too think it's been removed in 1.4.0.2 Alpha!

Finally I got to the right screen gentlemen.

Please have a look at the image. This is what I see.

Thanks again.

I too think it's been removed in 1.4.0.2 Alpha!

Is regrettable if this is so. IMO, this feature is much more important than others, announced in 1.4

It's working fine for me in PrestaShop v1.4 Alpha 2. I doubt PrestaShop would remove the feature. Perhaps there is a Javascript error preventing the fields from being displayed?

Working? But I don't see ‘Weight price’ or ‘Volume price’ in your screenshot, which are present in the shot from the first message of thread...

This feature was simplified to make it more flexible. You can enter a volume, weight or any other unit in the "per" field.

[Tryintolearn]

Thanks again Rocky

What tabs would get us to that screen mate?

[rocky]

It's on the "1. Info" tab of the product editor in PrestaShop v1.4 Alpha 2. Just click the "Click here to edit unit prices" link and the text fields in the screenshot should appear.

Thank you for your explanation!
But then, if I understood correctly, it's just a text description, does not participate in the formation of prices?
(What was in the 1st question.)

i.e. $5.00 if someone takes 250 gms or $50.00 if someone buys 2 and half kilos and so on

Hi Rocky,
I have something similar to “tryintolearn’ but mine is a Fashion Store.
The problem is…
I have ‘A’ dress that comes in ‘Small, Medium, Large and Extra large’ sizes. I created an attribute group “Size”.
The problem here is – I want to have different ‘Quaintly’ for each ‘Size’…i.e. I want to have 6 Small, 14 Medium, 21 Large and 10 Extra large”.
How does one achieve this?
In the ‘Product combinations generator’ I’m able to apply Only ‘one’ Quaintly. Is it possible to have Multiple Quaintly?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Rocky,
How stupid of me!!!
It’s soooo simple. I solved it!!
I just had to create ‘Combinations’ for each size!!!

Hi,

does the unit pricing in prestashop 1.4 bring also the fractional quantities?
so far it was not possible to sell 1,4 kg of lets say potato. Will it be possible now?

Thanks,
Gregor

[rocky]

No, I just tried entering a fractional quantity on my PrestaShop v1.4 site, and it rounded it down to the nearest whole quantity. Unless I'm missing something, it appears the unit pricing is a description only.
