Products with multiple prices

[realwoodamishfurniture]

I'm using Shopsite 10.0 to create my online furniture store. For each product, I need to let the customer choose which wood (cherry, maple, oak) the product should be made from. Each wood has a different price, so for each product, I need to be able to have three prices. How can I do this? In the Products database, there is only one field for Price.

A dropdown menu for all the prices for each product would be ideal. Do I have to resort to entering each product three times (one for each wood choice), or is there a better way to do this?

You can use Product Ordering Options for this. There's a tutorial at http://www.shopsite.com/tutorial/products-orderingoptions.htm

Thanks Mike,

I put Ordering Options code on the product page and used multipliers to change the price for each wood option. Using Ordering Options does indeed put the wood choices on the product page, but it fails to do the one thing that I really need--it doesn't update the price when you pick a different wood option.

In the shopping cart, using the very same Ordering Options code as in the Product page does change the price (after clicking the Update button). How can I get the price to change on the Product page when an option is selected?

My goal is for the customer to know the price of any product option while still on the Product page rather than having to Add to Cart and then go all the way to the shopping cart to find (and be surprised by) the price.

Are there multiple options that affect the price? Or is there one set of options (e.g. the type of wood)?

If there's one set of options the price can be in the visible part of the option like:

Code: Select all

Type of Wood;n
Oak ($1100);[modifier]
Cherry ($1200);[modifier]
Maple ($1250);[modifier]


You might be able to use javascript to display an updated price when a shopper clicks a menu item but it's not 100% reliable because javascript can be disabled in the browser.

List the products as subproducts that way you can be specific on price, quantities, weights, etc.
