eStore – $0 base price with variations, customizing plus (+) this ammount

[ace]

Hello,

I am selling digital products (photos) and want to use variations for different photo resolutions.

There is (+) for 2nd variation.

If I set base price 0 (0 dollars) and price for every variation, it loads $0 on page load instead of price of the first variation.

1. Can it cause any problem with database, payment or anything else if the base price is 0 and all variations has prices including first one?

example:

License|Single::5::http://yourdomain.com/downloads/somefile.zip|Business::10::http://yourdomain.com/downloads/somefile2.zip

2. How to load price of the first variation on web page load instead of $0 base price?

Thanks

It won’t cause any issue with database, payment or anything else. It is perfectly okay to have the base price as 0 and then the variations have the full price.

You can have your first variation drop down to say “Selece One” which will make sense. As soon as the user selects a variation, the price field will update accordingly.

Here is an example of how to make the first variation drop down to say “Select one”:

License|Select One|

Single::5::http://example.com/downloads/somefile.zip|

Business::10::http://example.com/downloads/somefile2.zip

When your customer selects a variation, the price field will update and reflect the full price for the selected variation(s).

I’m facing this same issue.

This workaround has a problem: the costumer can click on ‘Add to Cart’ when the variation ‘Select One’ is displayed, which would load in the Cart a wrong product of $0.

Would’t it be possible that the price of the first variation is loaded directly?

The easier solution would be to have a small JavaScript check. So it prevents the user from hitting add to cart when the “select one” option is selected. Are you familiar with a bit of JavaScript coding?

[Ricardo]

Not much. Only a few basic notions, but if you can give me some hint I’ll try to make it work

By the way, after just a few days playing around with the plugin I really like it. Many options, nice documentation on the site and a lot of info in the forum.

Here is an example JS code. I am writing this off the top of my head so all the syntax may not be correct but it will give you an idea of what I am saying:

<script type="text/javascript">

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {



$('.eStore-button-form').on('submit', function() {

var selection_val = $(".eStore_variation :selected").text();

if (selection_val == "Select One"){

alert ("Please select a variation from the dropdown box");

return false;

}

});



});

</script>

Thanks! It almost work, but not yet. It stores in

selection_val

the values of all the variations in the shop (I have two variations per product), not only the one I´m interested in. In this case the first one.

[Ricardo]

Using the selector [name='variation1'] :selected I get only the variation I need, but I don’t know that it only takes the value from this form and not all of them.

Hi, have you tried this?

var selection_val = $(this).find(".eStore_variation :selected").text();

[Ricardo]

I knew I had to use this but I didn’t know how.

Using

var selection_val = $(this).find("[name='variation1'] :selected").text();

works nicely

Thanks!
