I am building a drupal based website in which I want to have products which I sell in different fixed quantities.
eg.
appels (10) = $1.00
appels (20) = $1.90
appels (50) = $4.00
appels (90) = $6.50
Basically these are all the same type of appels however, I sell them in fixed quantities. (If you want 68 apples you'd have to buy 50+20 or 90)
If I can manage to set up a product with different quantities like my example I'll be pretty satisfied but I would be even happier if I can also add a foreign product number for each variation (Is that called SKU?) because my supplier sells each quantity as a seperate product and in this way I'll instantly know which article to buy...
I did notice the apparel type, but obviously I'm not expecting my customers to wear appels. And besides from that using the product variations only enables me to set quantities with prices for only 1 article because the surcharge is unique to the attribute instead of the attribute+product.
I hope this doesn't mean I'll have to dive into the code. But I'll imagine I need to do database alterations (to store (quantity+charge)*product data) and I'll need to selectively replace the quantity field to only show the allowed quantities, based on the product type. Hints on how to start building this (I'm only using Drupal for 4 days now) are welcomed... Should I try to do something like the subproducts and variations, or should I make a new product type??
Ofcourse I could go for the easy option and add the articles like my supplier does (one for each amount). But that'll lead to 20 times the number of articles and if you by any chance read my other topic then you'll know this means a serious amount of articles.
