Pricing and Shipping/Handling

[jliveston]

My client is going to be using Actinic Catalog v6

They sell photos. Each photo can be in various sizes.

Ex.
5x7" - $4.00
8x10" - $10.00
11x7" - $12.00
Sheet of Wallets - $10.00

What is the easiest way to set this up so the client can add photos and change prices based on sizes? Also the shipping and photo prices change when the customer orders more than 2 or more.

I need to be able to do this with Catalog. I know Business has quantity dependent pricing, and want to know the easiest way to do this with Catalog.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason

Product variants with different prices can be set up with the use of components, e.g.
Photo [Product]
- Variants [Component]
-- Size of Photo [Attribute]
--- 5x7" - $4.00 [Choice]
--- 8x10" - $10.00 [Choice]
etc.

The prices for the various sizes can be set up in the Permutation tab of the Components dialogue and this way when the size of the photo is selected online the price of the individual permutation is inputted into the cart. The best way to display the price is as part of the Choice name (as above).

It's possible to set up a clunky version of quantity dependent pricing in Catalog. Use a similar setup as above, but with the choices as quantities of photo rather than photo size.
