Negative price value

I have been searching and trying for quite some time, now, but there seems to be no possibility to enter negative price values.

I need this with a product that has several options, but a customer can choose an option that is cheaper than the standard option, so the price of the product must decrease.

Why can't HikaShop handle negative prices ? I have seen this in other shopping systems.

Kind regards,

Jan

Hi Jan,
If you want a product with a negative price value, the solution will probably be to use a discount associated to your product, then your product price will be negative.

I would like to have options with a negative price, could this be considered for a future release please?

You can now support negative pricing by simply changing the line:
if(preg_match_all('#[0-9]+#',$val,$parts) && count($parts[0])>1){
to:
if(preg_match_all('#[0-9]+-#',$val,$parts) && count($parts[0])>1){
in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/helper.php
That modification will be available in next version of HikaShop as a standard feature.

Thanks Nicolas.

Thanks very much :woohoo:

Hello,

I've looked in HikaShop 3.1.1 and I've tried to search finding that line and there are no exact matches.. I'm assuming it is the preg_match_all in "hikashop_toFloat" function that I need to change. If that is the correct place, it doesn't have the change similar to the one listed in the post.

Here is the end goal. We've built an admin checkout so an admin can dynamically create/assign orders to users so the admin can take phone orders as if they are the customer. We want to dynamically create an order discount with explanation that an admin can apply as they are on the phone. One solution we came up with would be to create a couple of order custom fields then dynamically add an admin only product to the cart during checkout with the explanation as one custom field on the item and using the custom price plugin to add a negative product price (or positive if they want to charge extra for something like extra fast processing, etc). They can't use coupons for this as they want to have this ability on top of coupons.

Thanks in advance,
Donald

Hello,

I'm afraid that a 3 year old thread is not the right place for your question regarding HikaShop 3.1.1
