I'm sure this must be a common situation, but maybe it's so obvious that nobody has had to ask how to do it - really sorry if I'm missing something obvious !
I have products that have different prices depending on residential options chosen, and that have different prices per shopper group:
Example:
Product: Training course
Shopper group: Member Non-member
w/ Standard room 100 110
w/ Ensuite room 150 170
Non-residential 60 80
Any walkthroughs that I could use ?
Thanks for all help,
David
Sorry to reply to my own post, but I really could do with some pointers !
Is there any documentation on how to do this kind of complex pricing in Virtuemart 3.0.9 ? I've been trying different combinations of things for the last couple of weeks and still haven't got anything sensible :-[ I don't understand how multivariant custom fields and products/child products work together and this part of the product is not well documented or anywhere near intuitive, for me anyway :)
This is the last part of a site that I need to complete before we go live, I'd really love to crack it !
Thanks,
David
Documentation not helping? http://docs.virtuemart.net/manual/general-concepts.html
The documentation's not bad at all, I've learnt a lot from it. I've figured out how to create shopper-selectable non-chargeable product attributes (like colour), and variable priced ones too (like size). I'm stuck on the additional layer of member vs. non-member prices for variable priced products (e.g. member: S/M/L=£5/£10/£15, non-member: S/M/L=£10/£15/£20). I think I need to use some combination of multivariant custom fields and child products but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the concepts. I've even managed to create some products where even I'm not sure how the final price is calculated ha ha !!
I may be approaching the problem from the wrong angle, maybe I need to take a step back and go back through the docs to see if there's a better way than what I've been doing so far.
Thanks,
David
The MV creates already a child for any variant.
You can set shoppergroup depended prices for the product, but not for the variant.
But in MV, the price of the variant is coming from a child, so it should work.
OK, thanks for that. I think I'm getting the hang of it :)
