The problem I am having is related to voucher codes.
By default, Prestashop will apply a discount of a particular product to the total of the entire cart. For example, if I have 3 products in my cart, all priced at £100, the total sum of the cart is £300.
If i have a voucher for a total value of £200 that is valid for only 1 of the 3 products in my cart, the behavior I want to achieve is that Prestashop will recognise that the voucher is valid for only one product, and rather than deducting the £200 voucher total from the cart total (essentially applying the remainder of voucher credit to the other two, non applicable items), it will deduct only the amount of all applicable items (in this case, £100), and some how create a new voucher for the remainder of the credit.
Hopefully this makes sense and many thanks in advance for any help offered.
Cheers
The only way to do it now is to create a new category (hidden), place the product in there (in addition to the current place), and assign the voucher to the new category.

In PrestaShop, you can create a voucher for an individual category, but not yet for a specific product. At this point, product-specific vouchers would require changes to the code in several different places. As mentioned in Narek's source link, this is something the PrestaShop team is working on for a future release, but that functionality is not currently available in the default installation of PrestaShop.

Is it possible to add second price to each product and use that price if user in specific usergroup?
I was thinking doing that by adding another column to the product price table and then take advantage of the promotion function to somehow use that price instead of the usual discount you can set from admin.
Any pointers or ideas would be great, thank you.
Yes, it is possible to define price for product that is valid/shown only for users in specific usergroup.
To achieve this you need to use Quantity discounts tab on Editing product page.
Name of this tab implies as there must be some large amount of items bought (like volume discounts...), but quantity can also be just 1 item.
For this you first need to define usergroup (Customers->User groups).

For a customer I am building a Virtuemart 2.0.26d website.
Because of a local law, for each unit of a product that is ordered a fee must be added.
So, when ordering 4 products, the fee must be charged 4 times. By law it is required that the total sum of this fee is visible on the invoice/order confirmation.
I looked at the price rules in Virtuemart, but they don't seem to have an option for this. There is a price modifier after tax, but then the fee is visibile as an negative discount. Something I don't want.
The only solution I came up with is to make a new product for the fee and programmatically add this product for each unit. Can this be done by making a Virtuemart Plugin, or must I change the core for this?
Or are there better solutions for this problem?
You can add extra charge by Taxes & Calculation Rules.
create new rules and select tax per product for Type of Arithmetic Operation and select Math Operation + Or +% as per you want to add extra fee per product.
You could add a custom field to each product with the fee amount and alter the code of the payment plugin to add this fee to your order.
I need to know if there is a way to create this in Magento:
First of all, all my products price are fixed: 9.99$.
So i want to do this: if the client bought three products, the third is free, so it pays 2 products. He can do this as many times as they want, so if you buy 6 products, there will be 2 product free, if he buys 9 products, 3 are free
Magneto supports buy x get y free promotions. Information about setting them up is available at http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/how-to-setup-buy-x-get-y-free
It's possible to do this using magento Shoping Cart Price rules.
Create a Shoping cart price rule by going to your admin panel and clicking on Promotions -> Shoping Cart Price rules.
Create a condition for your rule. There is a nice GUI to define the conditions so they will look like: If an item is FOUND in the cart with ALL of these conditions true
Define an Action, actions describe how prices are updated when the conditions of the rule are met. In your case there is an specific action called: Buy X get Y Free, which defines a quantity that the customer must purchase to receive a quantity for free. (The Discount Amount is Y.)
Complete the labels: lables appears on the order below the subtotal to identify the discount. You can enter a default label for all store views, or enter a different label for each view.
Apply the rule. Make sure you save and enable the rule, also you can define a time range when the rule is valid and number of usages.

My questions is basically I have 2 products that can be sold separately and together.
What I want to do is take these 2 individual items, create a new product in Magento for it with a new image that will show both of them together for a combined price. When this particular item is sold then it will reduce the qty from each of the individual sku's that were created. Is this possible?
As an example,
SKU 1 - Wii Remote - $30
SKU 2 - Wii Nunchuk - $15
SKU 3 - Wii Remote + Nunhcuk - $45
So when sku 3 is sold it will reduce the qty of sku 1 and 2.
Thank you
Maybe a "bundle" could help you?
http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/creating-a-bundled-product
I don't know for sure, because I have never used Magento. I just Googled your problem.
A bundle product will do if your rules are within these:
Points to Remember
A Bundle is a “build your own” product type
Bundle Items can be Simple or Virtual products, but without Custom Variants and Options
The Price View of a Bundle can be set to display a price range or “As Low as”
The SKU and Weight of a Bundle product can be set to either “Fixed” or “Dynamic”
Items can have either a preset or user-defined quantity
Items can be shipped together or separately
Bundle product data cannot be imported into your catalog.
Means : bundle product cannot have a configurable product within.
so if your SKU1 and SKU2 are not configurable or rather just simple or virtual then you can create a bundle product and sell the way you have stated.
I don't necessarily agree with the way magento wants us to sell our "Bundles"
It lets users decide which products they want to combine, it's really similar to a "Grouped product".
To me a bundle is predetermined by the store owner, If A is Bought together with B & C, then the customer saves X amount of money... It's not up to the customer to decide what's part of the bundle.
SO I ended up creating the Bundle, adding all the products I want in the bundle as a "Multiple Select", ticked them all as "Default",
and I'm hiding the options with CSS, only showing the price and the add to cart button (Every product has it's own class in ): body.product-name #product-options-wrapper { display: none }
So of course if you have thousands of bundles then this won't work for you.
I'm really happy with this solution because 1. It updates the inventory & 2. All of the SKUs are displayed on the invoice! (For me they are also lot numbers)
I'm working on a Magento site that has a number of simple products. There's also a "holiday package" which combines several simple products into one, at a discounted price:
6 of Item A
2 of Item B
2 of Item C
2 of Item D
The "grouped" product type is pretty close to what I need - it allows each item to keep track of it's own stock, and when it comes time to ship and estimate packages, it tries to pack the containers using the weight/volume of each individual item. (This shipping aspect is very important, as we need to pack the boxes as efficiently as possible - using a simple product with an estimated size for all items may not work).
However, we do not want the customer to be able to choose the quantity of each item. The customer should instead be asked to choose how many holiday packages they would like.
Is a grouped product the best approach? Is there a better way to handle this?
In Magento 1.5.1, the best solution should be the bundle product. There, you can define a price, a quantity for each item in the backend. You can block the user to change the quantity for these items, not for the bundle product (you could too if you want but it's not your need here).
We do like that for some of our product. Check the screenshot to see an example of configuration
