Hi,
 
I have a product that requires a fixed setup fee plus quantity pricing.
 
The fixed fee is $100 and the per item fee is $.30. If someone orders 100 units, the price is .30 X 100 + 100 or $130.
 
Can this be done without using the "Options" option?
 
Thanks,
Chris

Hello Chris,
 
You can do this using the Subcomponents option: parent product, which is always present, is your setup fee, and the product itself will be your item.

how would this work for my site in australia? www.southwestspa.net ?

Denis - can you explain how/where to define the parent product? I also need a set-up fee..

Pretty please

Well I neglected to do the obvious thing - look up subcomponents in the manual - http://www.viart.com/shopping_cart_system_options.html

Yea, the subcomponents thing is way too tedious to work out for my current product structure, plus I would need the subcomponents themselves to offer options, which I couldn't get to work.
 
I've been editing shopping.js (easier for me to work with the JS instead of the PHP). I divide the setup fee by the quantity and add that to the base price, then show the estimated costs in a JS generated display.
