i am new to the magento and i have a small problem. Suppose, while entering the order from backend the admin has to add a product which doesn\’t exist in his shop. So, does he have to first add the product and then again enter the order or is there a simple way of doing it from the order page?? I don\’t want to save the product. I just want to take the order and enter it without adding the product with its price. Please Help.
Thanks in advance.
Currently there is no feature like this in Magento and to be honest it is kind of a bizarre situation you are describing. Although Magento does not keep a reference to product tables in sales flat order item table but having an item in this table which we can find no history about it anywhere else is quite unconventional in e-commerce solutions. However in your case you should develop a module which adds these kind of products directly to the order items and handles financial issues concerning these products.

Im creating a online delivery website (wordpress+woocommerce) for a friend that sells kebab.
The only thing is that at some point in the night, the kebab usually runs out and the store keeps selling other fast food items.
I would like to know if its possible to create a custom button in the admin dashboard so that it changes Stock status for all products in the same category or products that have the same tag. I know you can go to products and multiple edit the whole category but i want it to be as simple as possible since the staff may be in a hurry.
Any help appreciated. If you think there is a better & faster way to change the stock status feel free to advice me. Thanks.
How do I create specific bundle prices for all my products as well as being able to sell them individually. So if you look at the site I'm building - http://knittingcompany.co.uk. You will see items for £1.99 and £6.50.
I want to sell all of these individually, but also to give an option to buy them as a bundle. I want customers to have the option to buy 10 of £1.99 items for £10, and buy 3 of the £6.50 items for £15.
I've installed Woo Commerce Product Bundles, but I can't seem to have the facility to be able to allow all the products to be sold in bundles. Customers should be able to select any of the items within the same price bracket and have the offer available.
Unless I'm using the plugin wrong I think I may have bought the wrong plugin to do what I want it to do.
Does anyone know how to help either using this plugin or by any other means?
Thanks
For anyone else that might be interested in this the product bundle plugin from woocommerce wasn't the plugin I needed to carry out the function I wanted. It's another plugin called dynamic pricing from woocommerce. In case anyone else is interested
I need to setup a Magento Site, with two seperate websites, the same products but different prices/skus.
Right now I added in two custom attribute fields for each product with the other company sku/price. I have a flag that chooses which product sku/price to show.
Is this feasible with Magento or am I going about this the wrong way?
You can give a product a price for each website. Yes, SKU are global but as Mike stated, if you want to keep track of your stock you should follow magento logic on this.
Add your product then set a different price for each of your website.
If the product is sold either way stock will be changed accordingly and you won't run into more problems.
just my 2 cents on this.
Magento is designed so that each product has only 1 SKU. They do this so that you can use Magento to manage stock on a SKU basis. If stock is not of concern to you, then your way will work fine. However, the correct way to do this would be to have two different products.
If the two products are identical, but you just want to determine which store they came from, there are other ways to do what you are trying to do.
I'd say you're doing it wrong, but that's really just my opinion. You can go about it whichever way you choose!
I want to add a custom attribute to magento order_item and quote_item and a field in the order form for my serial number attribute and other custom attributes.
I'm selling Tablets offline but I am using Magento backend for managing all inventory and customer information along with orders, the tablets are given on subscription bases so there is no shipping as the customer would be at store during purchase.
I want to add custom attribute which are unique to the customer and tablet.
I could create an attribute for the customer but what if they order more than one tablets which means logically the only way is to place those attributes in the order item.
I seriously don't know how to go about.
I hope someone can point me to extended magento sales module and add my custom attribute to order_item and also show in magento order form.
First you need to add/change this two tables:
- sales_flat_order_item
- sales_flat_quote_item
just add fields and name it as you wish (that will be your new attributes)
file you need to edit for your new attribute to be visible on order page should be this one:
app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/sales/order/view/items/renderer/default.phtml
and your new attribute:
<?php echo $_item->getMyCustomAttribute() ?>
If you would like to make that attribute "the proper way" it requires a bit more skill..
Here is an example how you can add custom category attribute, same would be for your problem:

Thanks
I would ask some of the more popular extension providers for a custom quote. AheadWorks comes to my mind quickly... I say visit the Magento Connect store and browse through highly rated extensions and you'll see there are a small number of companies doing lots of successful work.
They will be able to "more properly" handle, store, track, and communicate your desired data through the entire system.
Once I better quantify a similar situation I would like to program, I will seek the help of experienced module builders. The Zend MVC is a miserable bowl of spaghetti once you start trying to code in it! :D

Basically you are in e-commerce domain and magneto is a e-commerce framework which provide a platform to build e-commerce application with some build in out of the box functionality so that the developer at the end of the day not have to start building things from scratch.
what type to tasks we can do in Magneto.
being a eCommerce platform it provides you out of the box functionality ranging from product management,category/catalog management,shipping,checkout process,user management,post order process etc and many other things.
E-commerce in itself start from application like B2C (Business to customer), B2B (business to business).
I want some good tricky and sample tasks to do in magento
i am not sure what exactly you mean by this statement what you want to learn how exactly flow going on or how you can customize the things.
my suggestion is to explore some e-commerce implementations like amazon,eBay etc see how things flow there and than come out what you want to have in all.
i have not worked with magento but being in e-commerce domain i know every platform provide some sample reference application so it should be the case with Magento so just run that application and see how flow is going on and play around with it.
one thing that seems good to start is checkout process as it is always an integral part of any B2C implementation.
Other aspect is Product content management.
How about learning to create tier prices for customer options? I am quite sure that you need this for the future someday.
Magento allows tier prices for products and prices for individual options. However, tier prices for individual options are not supported. Tier prices for individual options are needed e.g. when selling promotional items or textiles with custom imprints. To create individual tier prices just try one of these three options:
one of these three options:
Realizing the surcharges with Cart Price Rules
Simple Configurable Products / Better Configurable Products
Generating additional individual options with prices
In my opinion the last one is the best solution. An individual option only allows one surcharge, when more are needed (one for each tier price you want to have). So you create several options with different prices. By doing so the following module might help you. You can request it for free at: http://www.code4business.de/kontakt-impressum/.
This module requires entering of tier prices and individual options in the backend. Afterwards the prices of the individual options for each tier price are entered in the newly generated options. When you save it, the following table of individual options will be generated. In this table, the tier prices can be entered for the original individual options. After filling out all these fields, the result is expected to be in the checkout.
I hope this is the kind of learning-idea you imagined! If you have further questions just take a look at this link. It offers you detailed descriptions with pictures how to create tier prices:
