Confirmation of product quantity

[James Gladwin]

Hi. In

http://www.moloh.com/acatalog/belts.html

there is a raft of choices (uggh) as the client wants customers to be able to buy one, or two belt buckles, or belt straps.

You can see how I've set it out.

On Add to Cart, the buer is taken to a confirm quantity page, but it can be easy to miss that Tan,1 and Black1, is TWO belts.

Is there a way for the cart to be configured so that it automatically adds to two prices, and so doesn't need the confirmation?

Have I missed something?

Try changing the shopping mode to 'Quantity in Shopping Cart' rather than 'Quantity on Confirmation Page' as this will add them stright into the cart without the confirmation page.

Also, are you using separate components for 'Tan', 'Brown' and 'Black'? Try this and then select the option within the components for 'Component On Separate Order Line'. This should convey what is happening a little clearer in the shopping cart.

Hi, Chris - thanks a lot. Sorry to be thick, but where do I find the .."option within the components..."

( am using separate components for Tan, Brown and Black, I think....)

At the moment it looks like you have all three attributes within a single component that does not have a name.

You need to create three components within the 'The Moloh Belt' product. Once called 'Tan' one called 'Brown' and one called 'Black'. Select the 'Component as separate order line' box within each component.

Then within each of the components create an attribute called 'Quantity' and create the quantity choices within this attribute. You can then set the different prices within the 'Permutations' tabs of the components as required.

Doh - of course. Chris - add another bar and ribbon to your Actinic Medal of Honour.

Chris - that was fine. Ummm - the shopping cart now shows the product lines, but also the main product price, and adds THAT to the selected choice as well.

Is there ANY way I can disable the quantity function? I don't want it on the product page, as the customer is making a choice through radio buttons, nor on the shopping cart page as the customer has already made the choice?

Grateful for any input

and adds THAT to the selected choice as well.

Go into the 'Components' tab of the main 'Belts' product and change the 'Pricing Model' to 'Sum of component prices'.

I would recommend a different approach, and have a separate product for each belt colour. That way you can set the shopping mode as 'Quantity on Product Page' and select 'Single Add to Cart Button Per Page' and so people will select how ever many of each belt they want and then add them all to the cart in one go.

To lay out your individual colour products in nice compact rows you can use code for the product layout template similar to the following:

NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR 
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMBEGIN
 <tr> 
    <td colspan="3">
      <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr> 
          <td width="250">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTNAME</td>
          <td align="right" width="100">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTPRICE</td>
          <td align="right">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTQUANTITY</td>
          <td align="right">NETQUOTEVAR:ADDTOCARTBUTTON</td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
  </tr>
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMEND
NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT

I think that will be a more robust solution for your client.
