Hi,

I need to enable selection of various product quantities, where the price is not a straightforward multiplication.
(i.e. the more you order the lower the total price drops).

I defined a new Characteristics item called quantity. In it, I defined 5 quantities and defined Characteristics selection method as "Dropdown".
Next, in my product, under "Specifications =&gt; Characteristics" I declared a new characteristic "Quantity" with a default for lowest quantity.
Then, I defined product variants, with the 5 different quantities and their prices.

The dropdown list simply doesn't show.

(If you get a 404 error, please do a shift+reload. I'm having a weired problem there)
If I change the Characteristics selection method to "Radio Button" - it does work (but looks ugly and very confusing. Certainly not the right choice).

Am I doing something wrong? (I tried looking for a conflicting css declaration but couldn't find any).

Hi,

You're not lucky.
Your template has custom CSS to hide the characteristic dropdowns on the product page:
[ monosnap.com/file/fvd0sUjfoHpTMDUQzpyP4uH7QS7WM4](https://monosnap.com/file/fvd0sUjfoHpTMDUQzpyP4uH7QS7WM4)
Remove that CSS and you'll see that HikaShop displays the dropdown properly there.

Thank you so much Nicolas,

I fixed it!

Also, I now see that I wasn't able to detect it with firebug. You used Chrome developer tool.
So sometimes it's better to try use both tools to cover everything.
