Once you add a characteristic to a product, you can change the price for each variant via the "manage variants" button: [ www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...html#characteristics](http://www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/integrated-documentation/19-hikashop-product-form.html#characteristics) For the prices VAT you can do as explained there: [ www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/38735-cu...s.html?lang=en#38735](http://www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/38735-customise-cart-with-included-vat-prices.html?lang=en#38735) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzQxNjUyLW9wdGlvbnMtY2hhcmFjdGVyaXN0aWNzP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
