Hi all,
I'm hoping someone would be kind enough, to give me a few pointers as to how I best achive the following, as I do not seem to be able to find any "Best practise" of doing this.
In the shop we are building, we only have a few products. But each product will not be sold as a single product, but as batches of 50, 250 and 500 items together.
What we would like to achive, is to have each product registered once in the shop, but with 3 different prices and no. of items, in a dropdown or list. The customers picks one of the linies showing the number of items he would like, and then the correct price is showing.
It's NOT a calculation of the price we are aiming for, but 3 fixed prices for 3 different variants containing 50, 250 or 500 pcs. of the product.
But we can't seem to find out if we should use custom fiields and/or cart variant to achieve this? Or something completely different like product childs?
Any pointers is very much appreciated!
Cheers,

Hi John,
Thanx for your prompt reply!
Don't mind buying the plugin you refer to, but I thought what we wanted, was pretty simple and allready within the functionality of virtuemart?
Am I wrong in this assumption?
Hi John,
Well - something like you have done here, exept with this setup it seems the prices mentioned in the dropdowns is added to the products basebase - am I correct?
What I was hoping for, was something like not having a baseprice set, and the 3 diffent total prices in the drowdown. Does this make sense?
As I see it - and I might be wrong - what you have setup, is more used in scenarios where the product costs $x and if you want fx. a larger version, you pay an addon of $y..
I set something like this up last year. There were 80 products, each sold in package sizes of 10, 100, 250 and 500. I made each of the products into a category, and within each category were the four box sizes and individual products. All that needed to make it work was to set up some language overrides.
Great suggestion Kelvyn!!
Thanx for this idea - will give it a shot!
Cheers :)
