Hi,
Happy New Year 2019 !!
I am using VM 3.2.14
I have a product of price 1999, with Custom Fields of values 0 amount and 100 amount.
If customer chooses a second option, the total price is 1999 + 100 = 2099. It works fine.
I want to override the price for base product to 1499, the custom field values remain same.
Now if customer chooses second option, the total price should be 1499 + 100 = 1599. But the price doesn't change, it shows 1499 only.
How can I get it corrected.
Thanks.
I have lost track of the number of time we have had to explain that an override price is exactly that - it overrides the final product price. So your customs will be ignored.
In other words don't use final price over rides ..use discounts etc to achieve what you want
I tried to use Taxes and Calculation feature.
Created a dummy (unpublished) Category. Created a Calculation Rule of 25-% for this dummy category. Added the product to dummy category.
With this approach, the Custom Field price is also discounted.
Without Custom Field or zero amount:
Sale Price = 1999
Discount = 25% = 500
Final Price = 1499
With Custom filed of amount 100 selected:
Sale Price = 1999 + 100
Discount = 25% = 500
Final Price = 1499 + 100 = 1599
but it shows 1574 providing discount to 100 also.
I need to retain the custom field charges and provide discount only to main product. Is there a way to do this?
add +25% to your custom field price?
I can add 25% to custom field amount, but I would have to update custom field amount for each products. I don't think this is a good practice if I have plenty of products to be edited.
There are quick ways to edit a lot of products/fields in one go. You can do it direct in the database with some sql or use one of the third party tools available, such as https://shop.st42.fr/en/products/vm-be-pro-batch-product-edit.htm
