configurable options pricing

Recommended Posts

so there's no way for a customer to know how much an option will cost until he adds it?

 

Correct. If you are going to use the AJAX form exclusively then you could put prices with the configurable options descriptions as a workaround. Personally I don't like that solution because then the price will show up in the order summary both in the description and the coded portion, not to mention that you would need to adjust pricing in two places.

 

OTOH, I think it's fine the way Matt has it programmed because customers will click through the options to discover the prices so it adds a bit more interest and interactivity. The can play with the options and watch the total automatically change in the summary, then remove what they don't want. It's kinda fun actually.

 

What's your opinion?

I agree with smenkhare, I would always want to see a price before selecting it.

 

Additionally, from a usability point of view, basically what you are asking is your users to make a large amount of useless clicks, when they could acomplish what they wanted in 2 maybe 3 selections if the price was there.

 

I certainly wouldn't want our users to have to do that. I'll see if I can come up with a way to add them in.

 

One possible solution is to add the price to the description as you say, but then have some php code that strips the price out of the description when adding it to the invoice, which is probbably the easiest method.
