I'm working for a client which has 3 websites and multiple storeviews each. For some reason he really wants to have 3 currencies and each currency it's own price per product.
So a product can cost i.e. €49,99 / $55,- / £39,95 and these prices have to be configured for each product. To clarify: There is no relation between the prices so it can't be done with an exact percentage. Prices need to differ completely.
I've found "solutions" to make 3 separate websites with each a different price for a product, but seeing as there are already 3 websites, I'd need 9 and that's just out of the question.
Also I found extensions like this: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/currency-pricing.html - all of 'm don't work with 1.9 and especially work worse with configurable products, which happens to be the case here.
I'm really out of ideas, anyone else got a possible fix for this?
Update 06-2016 I get quite some mails about this question, if I ever found a fix or some other solution; sadly no. I did do further investigation about it and found out that this concept goes against the core-logic of the Magento (multi)store. We've now begun to work with Magento2 and will evaluate again if it is easier in this version. If I ever get to something, I'll update the question here.
There is no fix.
I think you need an own magento for every currency cause PRODUCTS ONLY USE ONE PRICE. Sadly..

The company i work for running Magento 1.7.0.2 with a Cart2quote extension.
They are getting frustrated because when they add a list of products to an order in admin the products dont stay in the order that they were inputted.
Example By SKU:
Order inputted-
D707
E018
P883
P882
Order when finished inputting-
D707
P882
P883
E018
I have only used 4 as an example, although more often than not it can be in excess of 50+ products.
Could this be due to an extension confilct with cart2quote or is there some other soloution?
Sometimes, buy pressing "Updates items and qtys" it does put them in a reverse order (first product is last) and they can live with that.
But as it is now, its making it frustrating for them to double check they have inputted the correct items.
Im sorry to waffle on, but any comments would be appreciated.
Many Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar with this extension, but check created time, updated time, id, etc when sorting.
really could do with your expert advice / knowledge & help...
We have a client who we built a magento site for. He sells parts for motorbikes, jet-skis, motocross etc..
We set up three attributes "Manufacturer" then "Model" then "Year" - and this was the selection process inside each product to drill down a price (as price changes on the models year) to achieve the pricing structure he wanted we used a simpler config products plugin that worked a charm. (which I found searching through these forums)
Problem.. The "Model" attribute is getting way too big (crashing the browser and timing out - and approaching what I have been told is the limit for attributes) so we have to rethink the logic (as last resort is to change the whole site and add them all as simple products and use filters instead - which the client does not want)
After days fo stress and researching we are still none the wiser...
one idea would be to split the model attribute into manufacturer.. so "Hond_Model" .. "Aprilla_Model" and so on.. but then we cant keep the structure of one product with all the options inside, be great of we could have inside the product (front end)
select honda model
select aprilla model
select Can Am Model
Year
but the user can choose one model from any three of the "model" drop downs, then it blanks out the other 2 model attributes and lets the user select the year to get a price.
But in the back end when I try this all three "Model" attributes have a red asterix and require an input in all three..
HELP!
Sorry if some of this is basic I am a designer who is learning magento with the help of my developer for the past 6 months so still new to this but already way out of my depth.
Any help would be so appreciated.
Given the level of complexity, the relative newness of your company with Magento, and particulars of the automotive fitment domain, it might be wise to buy an existing fitment module (e.g. Year Make Model Extension - not an endorsement - i have no firsthand knowledge of this extension) to bootstrap your development or to learn from. You should check with module vendor first to make sure that the code is suitable for this purpose (not obfuscated / encrypted, written using Magento conventions).
There are several approaches which can be taken depending on how frontend presentation and backend reporting should work, but these are too broad to be discussed here.
At the store , in a category page ,when i sort by price (for both low to high or high to low ) ,
it doesnt care about the special prices , it sorts the products according to base price , not the latest decreased price..
And this causes wrong sorting for the products with special prices , it places them among the other products according to their normal price..
I couldnt find any solution , even a correct working example.
I am using 1.5.3.1 but as far as I can see this is a problem of all versions.
I will be glad if you may suggest a solution for this ?
thanks
My small suggestion can you please add this module in your opencart I think your problem will be resolve.
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=3690&path=5&page=2
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=3351&filter_search=special%20product%20shorting
and another way it's not possible to shorting in among with the huge number of category products in a pages so need to apply a conditional query for special products.
Thanks,

So, the site we are working on right now is going to be Multisite and we are going to have different pricing for each website. The issue comes when one of those sites needs to have two different price lists.
There is going to be the price list for one site, and another price list for the other and then there will be a price list based on the customer group for the second site. I am not sure the best way to set this up since the pricing will be per website. The only other option that I see out of the box is to use the tiered pricing functionality and set if customer group A qty 1 and above use this price. (Thank you Joseph Mastey from one of your other answers!)
I'm concerned about this since I am doing a nightly price update as well and I assume programmatically saving this per product could be a pain. If anyone has any tips on setting the tiered pricing programmatically that would be huge or if you have another suggestion I would appreciate all that come my way!
Thanks for the mention :)
Having looked at this before, you're exactly correct. The tiered prices seem to be the only easy way to accomplish this. I have thought about trying to use multiple store views to the same effect, but I haven't had success yet.
Also, yes, updating tier prices can be a pain, I'm not sure the APIs even support it.
The API does support updating tier pricing.

If there is a simple percentage reduction for one customer group then you can use a Catalog Price Rule.
I am considering using VirtueMart to set up a client with an easy to update e-commerce solution. I am new to VirtueMart, and Joomla, and am really just looking for a quick easy solution to e-commerce, so I thought to check the software out.
Anyhow I have a requirement where the client lists a product for renting purposes, the price to rent varies depending on the number of days the desired product is going to be rented for. Does anybody know of an easy way to implement this using VirtueMart?
yes, virtuemart should be able to do what your looking for. you can set "advanced attributes" for each product/item, and each attribute can have its own price.
So you could have say, an attribute for each rental perio, for example:
Product: "Rental A";
Attribute 1: 1 day - $100;
Attribute 2: 2 days - $190;
Attribute 3: 3 days - $270
...
and so on. There are various in-built ways that you can choose to display this, but I think a dropdown menu is the simplest and cleanest.
Also bear in mind that these are static prices (i.e. need to be manually entered into the system for each product/item) -- so you won't be able to base it on a formula or calculation without some custom coding/hacking...
Hope this helps,
E
