extra service fee at checkout

Hello!

I was wondering if there was a way to add a radio button in the checkout screen that would allow customers to pay an extra fee for a service.

For example, after picking their product, when they are in the checkout screen, have a button saying "click here to have us install the product for $20" or something like that. See below example.

Hi,

You can add such custom field thanks to the custom fields of type "order", and it will require a plugin in order to edit the order price when creating the order.
Here is some documentation:

This looks complicated. I will give it a try, but if I cannot accomplish this, can I hire a developer to make this work?

Are there other threads that relate to this scenerio?

thanks

Yes, it requires a developer to do that.
You can find one on our partners page: www.hikashop.com/home/our-partners.html or via our commercial jobs forum, joomlancers.com or resources.joomla.org

I don't know of any other thread related to such capability.
Usually, users settle for a simpler solution:
-either they duplicate the shipping methods in order to have two choices (with/without install) with different prices.
-or they configure an option for the products (that way they can ask the install fee for each product in the cart): www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...ct-form.html#options

How about a characteristic?

I have made a t-shirt website with charcteristics and on that website the XXL shirts cost an extra $2. For example, you buy the product or you can by the product with install (for extra fee).

Can this be done by mass action?

You can add a characteristic with a mass action.
But you can do it for an option.
The option sounds most suited to what you want than characteristic so why not try with an option ?

I did a test of one product with one option. I created a product called extra service ($20) and ..... it WORKED! Thanks Nicolas. That was great advice. Just what I was looking for.

Now I need to figure out how to add this option to 40,000 products. Should I use the csv's I created or can mass action do this?

Can mass action handle this many products? I found the csv import couldn't handle 40,000, so I broke it up into 4 sheets containing about 10,000 products a piece.

If mass action can do this, can you guide through the steps?

Hi,

Mass actions can do it but you need to break it into several pieces too.
Here is a screenshot explaining how to setup the mass action for that:

Great! A did a test of a hundred products and it worked.

In your example you mention "in your second run, you would enter 1000 in that field...". Do you mean 1001? Right? I would do 0-1000, then 1001 to 2000, etc.,etc.

Also, in your example, you suggest 1000 products, but do you think I could do 10,000 at time instead? This way I can 4 rounds instead of 40.

Thanks again for your help!

Hi,

No you really have to start the second round from 1000, because we start from 0 and process the first 1000 elements so it is: 0 - 1 - 2 - ... - 998 - 999, there is 1000 elements

10,000 seems to be too much, this setting depend on your server. The more there is things to process at a time more the server can be surcharged.
