ShopSite Forums

Greetings all,

Despite being a web designer for eight years, I'm very much on the bunny
hill with ShopSite—so please be gentle with me. I waded through a few
hundred posts on the board here, but can't go through them all to find
speedy answers to a couple of questions.

First, I searched the knowledge base for "minimum orders" but did not
get the answer I seek. The minimum order I want to customize is this: my
client sells ginseng (extract, capsules and roots). He offers wholesale
and retail pricing. My question is: "Is it possible to create some kind
of pull-down menu for the wholesale orders that ensure the customer is
buying a minimum of six bottles?" Or is there any method to ensure a
minimum purchase of six, besides just a finger-waggling "Make sure you
order six bottles to get the discount"?

Second question: is it possible, on "/store/index.html" to center the
link to the products page? I don't want the link off to the left; it
throws everything off.


Many thanks for any pointers, and forgive my ignorance. It's fun learning

So really, nobody here can help me?

1) In ShopSite Pro you can use the product's Ordering Options/Pull-down
menus to change the price of the item based on a selection. So you could
set it up something like this (lets say a single unit of your item is
$1.00):

Select Quantity;n
Single Units
Case of One Dozen ($1.00 discount);+10
Case of Two Dozen ($3.00 Discount);+20

So a shopper would place the item in the cart, then select the Case of
One Dozen option which would change the price of the item to $11.00, or
the Case of Two Dozen which would change the price of the item to
$21.00.

Changing the price based on the pull-down selection is only available in
ShopSite Pro, not ShopSite Manager.


2) That's a pretty generic question when we don't know what your page
looks like or what template you are using. If it is a ShopSite-generated
page, try using different templates or different themes. The template
can be edited in Pages -> Edit Page Layout, you can switch to an
entirely different theme (template and color combo) in Preferences -
Layout and Color Theme.
