Custom built product help

[jaimeweb]

Hi everyone,

Im not sure if this is possible but im sure it should be some how.

I sell curtain tracks online which are custom built for each customer depending on their measurments. The measurments can obviously range from 1mm - 7000mm.

Now i want the customer to enter their EXSACT curtain track measurment and the shop calculate how much their curtain track would be.

For instance:
1mm - 100mm = add £6.00
101mm - 200mm = add £12.00
etc, etc, etc....

It obousily needs to be a text input box as it would take FOREVER to use / create a drop down box.

Any help would be great.
Pleaseeeee

Thanks

PrestaShop v1.3.1 doesn't have per-unit pricing, but PrestaShop v1.4 does. You can see a screenshot of it here. You can try it out by getting the latest trunk off SVN, but it isn't ready for production use yet. Your only option is to use attributes until PrestaShop v1.4 is released.

Thanks rocky, can you think of any other solution that may be quicker and easier for me to do and for a visitor to understand? Im not quite sure how to get around this.

I can't think of any quick and easy solution to this problem. The only way at the moment is to create a "Length" attribute group with "1-100mm", "101mm-200mm", etc as attributes, then add them to a product with price impacts £6.00, £12.00, etc. The only problem is that you won't know the exact size they want, unless you also go the to the "5. Customization" tab and add a text field with label "Length" that is required. That would rely on the customer entering the length and also selecting the appropriate range for their length. It would be possible for a customer to select the wrong range. It is best to wait for v1.4, though I suppose that may not be an option for you.
