Custom pricing

[dbooker24]

We have agreement with some manufactures to adhere to a Minimum Advertised price which we want to show on our wensite, but we want once the item has been added to the cart to have it reflect our actual price that is generally lower then the MAP price. How can i acomplish this in shopsite?


Thanks dbooker24

You could put the MAP price as the product price and what you sell it for as the Sale price. Then create a custom product template that doesn't display the sale price (or maybe says add to cart to see our price in place of the sale price). That way they would see the regular price on the page but when it is added to the cart the sale price would be in effect.

if I do that though it still loads the mark through the MAP price on the main initial product page. How do i fix that?

[Jim]

Use a custom product template that has the code that displays the marked through price removed. If you are using a ShopSite provided template you could copy the part of the product template that displays the price to your local template directory and then edit that template to remove the section. You would probably then need to rename that modified template back to the initial name so that it overrides the ShopSite provided file.
Many of the ShopSite templates use an include file for the price section so you may have to do the above on an include file instead of the main product template.
Below it the include file called Product-Price. Following that I have pulled out the section of code that you would need to change. (Note this may be different for other templates)
