I was excited about the product options feature - until I had some friends try it out!!! It seems that it causes some confusion when there's anything other than just a final price that shows up in the shopping cart.

I know, anyone should be able to add the "option price" to the "base price" and figure it out, right? However, the "base price" is not called the "base price" in the header - it's called the "price", and it's apparently not editable. And then the "total price" for the item is called the "subtotal" in the header.

Minor points, but they caused confusion so consistently in the people I had try out the cart that I felt I had to dismantle the whole thing and add the different sizes as separate products. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel that ANYTHING that a customer doesn't easily understand will likely stop them in their tracks and prevent a sale.

I wish that such a potentially great feature couldn't be better executed - or at least editable.


There is always a base price for something you buy. If you buy a shirt, it maybe $9 but if you want an XL there will be an additional $2 surcharge. That makes the price then $11. You take the same logic really with anything you sell. Always start with a price and add the additional prices to it.

Seems logical to me. ;)

It is possible to input a negative value I was forced to do it to make a lower price than the par value.

Viv I hope we are on the same page here—I think we are. It is not clear & support seems to be clueless as well. The way things are set up only allows for money values to be imputed into the Product List no minus signs permitted. BUT the Product Grid will allow negatives AND does apply them to the item. The only complication is that you get a rather messy & confusing set of maths on the cart page BUT the calculation is CORRECT from the customers point of view.

OK so how do you do it? I want to sell prints of photos at 7x5 $15 THIS is my BASE Price then reprints at 50% off or $7.50 plus 10x8 prints at $35 with reprints at 50% off likewise so $17.50.

Set up your basic price name your options & give them a price—any price at this point. THEN

Click on Product Grid open Option 1 & edit the other prices using the base price & the adjustment needed to give the final price you need.

Mine goes like this:
7x5 Print:7x5 Print[15.00]|7x5 Reprint[-7.50]|10x8 Print[20.00]|10x 8 Reprint[2.50]

Messy yes but the only way I could find to give the result I needed.

If I had the time I'm sure there would be a way to hide the calculations.

Just a matter of which page the code is in & asking it not to show?? Anyone any clues??
