M.A.P. pricing (minimum advertised price) Show price in cart

[MgmtSpec]

Hello,

2 parts to this...
Has anyone had to deal with MAP pricing? I have a client that wants MRSP, MAP Price, Normal Price and Sale price. Easy enough to do last 2 with built in fields.
I'm assuming I'll need to do a custom template with extra product fields to handle the other options. Looking for an alternative option w/o using custom templates.
(client wants the flexibility of picking different templates themes at will) Store will have 5,000 products.

Also some mfg want this vendor to only display price after being added to cart. I could check the don't display price option - just wondering how anyone else handled if they have other ideas.

thanks for any ideas/suggestions.

Our manufacturers are starting to ask for this too. They're requiring us to show MSRP on the product page, but can show a discount price if the item is added to our cart. If anyone knows the best way to do this that would be great.

Thanks in advance!

This will require using a custom product field for the MAP price and a custom template that displays the map price instead of the product price.
Depending on which theme you are using there could be a number of template files involved, product template, include files and maybe css files.

Essentially you would have to change all references to [-- product.price --] to [-- product.fieldx --] where the x is the custom field you have the map price in. If some products have MAP requirements and others do not you could add a check to see if the product.fieldx for the product has a value in it and if it does then output the map value and if it doesn't then output the normal price value.

Code would be something like the following. I haven't tested it to make sure it is exactly correct since it may be different for your templates.

Code: Select all

[-- if product.fieldx "" --]
    [-- product.price --]
[-- else --]
    MSRP  [-- product.fieldx --]
    Add product to cart to see our price.
[-- end_if --]
