Pricing model for quantities with additional options?

[pandpdeveloper]

I've got an awkward pricing matrix to integrate into an existing shop which goes something like this;

Product (e.g. Bar Apron)
Size (e.g. S,M,L,XL,XXL)
Colour (e.g. Red,Yellow,Blue)
Embroidered option(Yes/No)
Quantity (e.g. <10,10-99,100-299)

Size and Colour do not affect the product pricing.

In this matrix the pricing varies with Quantity (set by ranges) and also the additional price when the product is Embroidered (which varies to match the discount).

For example;

15 Aprons not embroidered will be charged at say £5.95 (the 10-99 price range).

15 Aprons embroidered will also be charged at £5.95 but incur an embroidery charge of £1.95 per apron (based again upon the quantity range).

105 Aprons embroidered will be charged at the discounted price of £4.95 but incur a discounted embroidery charge of £1.75 per apron (to reflect the quantity range).

I would love for my superiors to stick to a blanket embroidery charge but thats not likely to happen

Is there a way of tidily incorporating such a matrix within Actinic?

Thx in advance.

Perhaps Norman's (Drillpine) Price Matrix add-on could be of use here. You can see the demo here, though I don't think the demo shows the full capabilities of the add-on.

Looks very good, but not sure it handles multiple pricing indices.

Perhaps Norman himself can clarify this?

My NorMatrix would allow a range of colour / sizes to be bought at once.

It passes the total required to the cart along with a note of the specific colour / size / quantities required.

So if you can get Actinic to deal with a single product with the optional embroidery and price it as required (I'm not familiar with how to do this so can't help) then you could extend this with NorMatrix to allow for bulk purchases.

Thanks Norman,

After some consideration I don't really think NorMatrix would work the way my superiors require (unrealistic) but thanks for taking the time to read this anyway.

Yes. NorMatrix doesn't help with pricing.

It's designed for wholesale type sites where you want to make it easy for a customer to order lots of e.g. colour / size combinations in varying quantities in a single go. It doesn't do anything that Actinic cannot except that it would take many add to cart trips the standard way.

It also has a few bells and whistles as it displays a running total and can enforce minimum, maximum, exact or modulo n quantities.

Had a play with the demos and its very impressive indeed.

I'll bear it in mind for any future sites.
