Hi,

I can't seem to find too much info in the forums about this (and nothing very recent). I have a number of products that have no pricing. All the pricing is done via variants.

I want to have a sale/special/discount, whatever you want to call it. So I see in the variant pricing there is a field for 'Retail' price, which I thought would show up on the front end - but it doesn't? And I don't see anywhere to enable this on the front end?

As far as I have read the current discount system only works with the main product price - which in my case is $0. If this is still the case, I think this area needs a dramatic overhaul. I want to be able to just set a special/discount price from the product variants area and have a start and end date. At the moment, this seems impossible with Hikashop???

Have I missed something simple perhaps?

Hello,

See my configuration steps by steps for products with his variants.

1°) Product (main with no price) :



2°) Variants (with each of them different price)



3°) Product page with a discount applied on the default variant (use as first page when you reach the product page)



And on another variant with different price




Maybe you have to define a default variant with no price AND in your Main Product Configuration you can switch off the "Display 'add to cart' button for free products"
To reach this option follow this steps :
- Go to Components => HikaShop => Configuration
- In Main Tab, click on Product part
- Switch to "No" the option.



That will avoid that your customer add a "free" product in the cart, and so they will have to select a variant with prices.

Hope that will help you.

Regards

Thank you for your help!

I think the problem is with what you have shown is that the discount is the same for all variants. For example; 10% off. But I need to be able to take a different amount off for each variant which is currently impossible as far as I know?

Also, I still don't understand why there is a section of 'Retail price' inside the variant fields but it doesn't do anything on the front end? Should this do something on the front end? My list layout doesn't change.

Hello,

You right variants will have the same product discount, and so to have something closed to a "Discount display" is to have your retail price with normal price AND Price by quantity :



Unfortunately, that mean that you have to enter for each variant the retail price and the quantity price.

And you have right too, for variant list display, there will have to be the retail price, it's bug that we will correct together you can go to Components => HikaShop => Configuration, and on Display dropdown select Views.

Use the three dropdown with "Product", "Your front end template" and "Front end", and edit your show_block_characteristic view like this :



This will fix your retail price displayed.

Hope this will fit your needs.

Regards

Yep looks like it worked perfectly thanks!

I am very happy with what we have done here but I still hope that the Hikashop team will have a good look at the systems surrounding 'specials' as there are a number of easy things that the current system doesn't handle correctly.

Even something simple like having a category with only specials is much harder than it should be, currently.
