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

I was wondering if there was an easy way on opencart(2.0.x) to let a user buy a product in 3 different Quantity options. 3,6, or 12 quantity, with each quantity having a unique price. (I.E- QTY 3 would sell for 10, QTY 6, 8.50, then 12 pack for 7). I tried to use the options module, to create a few radio button options but that tacks on the option to the original set price. I want the only options available to be the 3 types of quantity options. so if i choose the 3 QTY option I only pay $10.
Thank you in advance
No modifications are needed for this.
Go to the product's edit page and look at the discounts tab. In here you can put different quantities and prices. Note that the price field is per item, so you just need to divide your total by the number of products.
You can leave the start and end dates empty if they aren't appropriate.
There is a demonstration of this functionality on the official demo site and (I think) the dummy data provided when you first install OpenCart.
I have one more complex questions, so I will split it. Since it is basically one topic I don't wanna to split it into two separate threads. I would be grateful either for any information about an existing module, or any idea how to do this by yourself.
Question #1
If I understand the product price calculation process in Prestashop I basically have two options:
Price defined on a product
Price defined on a product combination
What I need, though, is to provide customer with more advanced calculation. Let's say products can be assembled and equipped with multiple different tags. Therefore, I can't use product_attribute (Combination) as no matter if I assemble the product or not, it is always the same product with only one physical amount of products on stock. As if it was a Combination, and customer order the product assembled, the stock would only be decreased on for this Combination, but not for the other Combinations. Hope that makes sense.
Example:
Painting #348 + frame + additional service = $500
Painting #348 + frame = $375
Painting #348 = $345
It is even more complicated as these sort of "additional services" are only available to relevant products. Another products may offer customers different "additional services".
Question #2
For scenarios from Question #1, I need also to differentiate the price. So if a customer wants to buy 300 pieces of a painting with frame it is $10 cheaper per product. If the amount is over 500, it's $25 cheaper etc. I know I can do this for a regular product or a combination, but how would you do it if the price would be custom just like in Question #1.
Thanks a lot for any help!
I am not sure if i have understood your question completely or not but, as far as i understood here is your solution:
You may have a product:
XYZ Pizza
(with different toppings like chicken, red meat)
(also have sizes Small, Medium and Large)
Off course you will have different prices for different combination.
So what you can do is:
Create a product XYZ Pizza with price zero and quantity zero.
Add combinations to the product, so you just need to add actual price of that
combinations, no headache of increase decrease calculations for price.
It is super easy if you are using csv import.
And don't worry as long as you have a single combination with some price for that product the zero prices won't be shown on your website.
Hope it helps.
In Sylius I can create variant of of a product, for instance 3 sizes of a t-shit, each size have different price. This is a nice solution if I have a product with one thing that has an impact on a price.
What about situation, where I have a Tshirt which have many options that have an impact on price, like:
Size
Material
Color
and few more
I cannot create product with variants, of each configuration. It should be for example in a way, that this particular option has an impact on price by adding to it some amount of money or %. This is like Adjustment, I think. But how to use it for products?
----MORE DETAILS--------
I need to define a product with some options that have impact on price, like Adjustments. Then when User adds product to cart, he/she chooses some options. Each of these options changes the product price. So base product has price $20. But when user adds it to cart, change 3 parameters, then the price should be $35. And this product with $35 price should be added to a cart, and then to an order.
You can consider listening to product or variant post create event, then in your listener check what options are set and adjust price according to options.
Maybe You can use custom PriceCalculator which must use CalculatorInterface.
In this class could be implemented all custom logic which depend of product.
I need to know if there is a way to create this in Magento:
First of all, all my products price are fixed: 9.99$.
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)
