Variation price to show calculated full price instad of + price?

[naikmichel]

Hi,

I find the variations confusing. I am selling a wine bottle on here for $25: http://www.georgesmichel.com/wines/la-reserve-sauvignon-blanc/

And a Case of 12 bottles for $300 but it puts +$275 which makes it confusing.

How can I have it display the calculated price of the case of 12 bottles in the variation instead of having the customer calculate $25+$275 which equals toa case of 12 bottles?

It makes it confusing for the customer. I would like to have 1 bottle at $25 and when I click on a case of 12 to show $300

Thanks

If you are using one variation (it looks like you are) then you can do this.

Use a base price of 0 and specify the full amount for the variation. You can then use a shortcode like the following to display the product without showing the base price:

[wp_eStore_fancy_display id=1 type=1 style=1 show_price=0]

The above shortcode can be found in the extra eStore shortcodes plugin:

FYI – If you have 2 or 3 variations then this can’t be done as the prices need to stack. The reason is explained in the “Limitations” section of the variation control documentation:

Also, in your case what you are considering variation is actually a *quantity* (not a real variation). Its best to handle quantity with the quantity modifier (you can always make coupons to give discount based on quantity).

Update: We have added a new feature to update the product price display dynamically when a customer selects the variations. This way the customer can see how much it will cost while he/she is selecting the variation before adding the item to the cart.

I don’t see how to enable the option you say was added, displaying the product price dynamically when a customer selects the variations… How is this done?

We enabled it in the plugin by default so you don’t have to check for any option/setting.

Please load a fresh copy of the plugin to ensure that you have the latest copy where we added this enhancement:

I have a “very” fresh build (v.6.9.1), and it doesn’t seem to be in there…

OK, I updated all my plugins and it’s working now… must have been some sort of conflict. Weird… Thanks!
