The best way to do this? (Product options/Characteristics)

-- HikaShop version -- : 3.0.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.6.5

Hello,

thanks in advance for reading this. I'd like to know the best way to set up products for the following scenario.

I'm setting up a shop that sells curtains. The curtains come in different measurements from 150cm x 100cm to 1400 x 600 ( 150 options in total )

Unfortunately, there is no formula for working out the price - the price for each size is individually worked out.

So, let's say that they pick 250 x 100 which is £63 - they now need to select a fullness. Fullness does work on a formula - it adds a % to the price. For example, a fullness of 50% adds 30% to the price.

So 250 x 100 with a fullness of 50% costs £63 + 30% = £81.90

So, there are two questions:

1. What is the best and least time consuming way of setting up the multiple size options

2. How do we git Hikashop to run a calculation to add a percentage for fullness?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Nicolas,

thanks for your reply. I had hoped that the answer was not characteristics - this is going to mean 500+ different versions on some products. I have used the csv method so far, definitely the easiest way of doing it.

Out of interest, if the prices did meet a formula (for example, if it was £25 per square meter) would it make any difference to your answer of is Hikashop not able to create prices on the fly based on the dimensions chosen and the price per square meter price?

Thanks again
