This is what I am trying to accomplish:
Let's say I sell cakes. The main product is a whole cake with a whole cake price. I would like to sell a portion of that cake by weight as an option with it's own price, but not create a duplicate product listing. I was wondering if it was possible to set a radio button or something for "whole cake" and "slice of cake."
 
I'm sure I just missed this function in the manual somewhere, but I can't seem to figure this one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance for your help!

Try OPTIONS - unless you want an infinite number of portions.
 
Let's say your cake can be cut into quarters.
 
Offer a price for a whole cake.
 
In options make options:
1: Whole Cake
2: Half Cake - and show price adjustment of 50% (or whatever)
3: Quarter Cake - and show price adjustment
 
If customer wants 3/4 Cake they buy 3 Quarter Cakes
 
I think you can use negative price adjustments.
 
Otherwise start with a 1/4 Cake and show price additions for 1/2, 3/4 and a full cake. Actually that may be better.
 
Hope this helps, perhaps someone has a better idea with a price matrix or whatever - this would be my route.

Chris-
 
The options idea with negative pricing seems to have worked great. I just wish I could hide the (-$50) or whatever price marking and replace it with just the price of the "slice of cake." That's just aesthetics really, but it would be nice...
 
Thanks for the help!

Go to
 
Product Settings in your admin
 
Scroll down to Options & Components Price Appearance
and see whether anything there can help you?

Hi Norbu:
 
Search the forum, I recently saw a method of removing the add-on prices for the options.
