Quantity Pricing and displaying "As Low As [PRICE]"

Postby MikeLangone » Wed Jan 05, 2011 2:40 pm

This should be an obvious feature, and if this forum were in any way effectively search friendly it may be in here, but how can I display in the product category page the lowest per unit tiered price as an enticement rather than the full tiered table. Obviously, this would be for the greatest quantity but its the most effective way for volume pricing to upsell the product. Any thoughts, or is it simply a no go?

The template tag to display the quantity pricing table [-- product.quantitypricing --] will always output the entire table if the check box for quantity pricing is check for the product. However, as long as the checkbox is checked quantity prices will be calculated for the number of products ordered even if the [-- product.quantitypricing --] is not in the template. So If you set the normal product price to the lowest price then you could modify the product template to be something like
[-- if product.quantitypricing --]
As low as: [-- product.price --]
[-- end_if --]

That way the normal price, which you set to the lowest price, will be displayed instead of the quantity table.

Can I still have the table display on the more info page, or is it an all or nothing choice as to the display of the table?

Since the moreinfo page is separate (although a part of) the product template, you could have the moreinfo page display the quantity chart while the product on a store page could show the As Low as price. Just make the appropriate change to not have the [-- product.quantitypricing --] tag in the [-- DEFINE Product --] section and to have it in the [-- DEFINE MORE_INFO_PAGE --] section.
