i need to assign 2 or more Charactistics to a product, each change the price of the product.

- Standard = Product in Glas € 7,90
- if you have bought in Glas, you can reorder in Paperbag € 5,90

I have set-up the product with a price of € 7,90. Now, if you select the Charactericstic "Refill-Paperbag" I want to display a price of 5,90.

as of now, i found my way to create characteristics, but not how to give them individual prices. Also, i think i will have to have both characteristics in only one drop-down...

Your Tutorial does help me any further, since the steps to enter different values are not explained. I appreciate your input.

Hi,
If you want to give different prices regarding your product variant, you'll have to :
- Go to your product configuration page
- Click on the "Manage variant" button of the "Characteristic" tab
- Add different prices regarding your product variant.

thanks for your input.. i did so..

now i have 2 prices.. and cannot select the "Characteristics"

i want ONE price, and if you select a different Characteristics, the price should change to that price...

How can I do that?

Hi,

I can see that you only have one value for your characteristic, and that you added both prices in your main product.
Please first edit your charateristic and enter all the possible values in it. Then, add it to your product (if you already had it, delete it, save the product, and then add it back).Then, remove the prices of the product, and instead, click on the "manage variants" button of the product and enter a price for each variant of the product.
You can read more about that in our documentation relative to characteristics:

that was exactly the description i was looking for!!! Thanks!

Hi..

Can you please tell me how you configure the item on this site www.schmalys.com/gewurzsalze/lisa-s-krautermeersalz.html

to get the options with the prices without adding them on the first item

Hi,

Instead of creating a characteristic with three values, you create a characteristic with four values and in the variant of the product for the first one, you just don't set any price.

Hi,

I applied the same Tax category on each product. For the products that do not have any characteristics, the tax is being calculated and included on the checkout page. But for the products that have one or more characteristics, I can see the tax on the product page, but the product is being added to the cart without the tax and also the tax is not being included on the checkout page.

What is the possible reason for this?

Thanks,
Dora

I figured this out.... The name fields of the characteristics were being left empty until now, I thought this was not important, cause everything else was working fine.

hi Nicolas why cant I change the characteristics of a product once the order has been placed? i click on the product and product pops up but has ADD TO CART button

Hi,

On the listing of product in the order edition interface you have to click on the "pencil" which allow the edition of the product in the order.
When clicking on the product name, it display just the frontend product page in a popup.

but why doesn't it let me choose my product characteristics?

Hi,

You can't change the selected characteristics of a product of an order.
If you want to change that, you should delete the product line of the order and click on the select icon, next to the + icon of the products listing of the order, and you'll have a popup where you can select the product/variant you want (see the products/variants dropdown at the top of the listing of the popup) and then you'll be able to choose the quantity, change the price etc before validating the adding of the product/variant.

Thank You so much Nicolas that's what I needed
