I am trying to make a store for car care chemicals in Magento for online buyers and company distributors.
Each chemical has a size option - 0.5 liters, 5 liters, 207 liters
And the above options have price difference depending upon the customer is a normal buyer or a distributor.
I have made a configurable product, but the price in the
"Super product attributes configuration" overrides the Group pricing in the simple products.
Can somebody please suggest the right way?
You have to create a attribute "size" as dropdown with all possible sizes.
When you add the product you have to choose one of them.
Magento will not take into the account the simple products' price of a configurable one. Simple products' prices are ignored. if you want to sell a simple product X having price $120 and a simple product B ($130) then set configurable product's price to $120 and add products you want to associate with this configurable product. After adding them click on 'Associated Products' tab which opens a block named Super product attributes configuration, which contains options and price differences and set the prices accordingly as described in attached image.
Moreover There's an extension that allows you to use simple product prices instead of price differences Since it's free extension. The extension is "Simple Configurable Products(SCP)".

I am developing a magento site. In this site I have products for camera kits. In one kit the product can have camera body, camera lens etc. These products when sold in group will have lesser price when sold individually.
I am thinking of "Grouped Products" in magento will suit my case the best.
But how to set the discounted price when purchased from a group?
Also I have to import product from another site so I will be creating all the products programmatically. So any suggestions for the discounted price. Also my approach for grouped products is right or wrong?
Grouped products are just a way to sell multiple products on one product page.
You could use a bundle product. When creating a bundle you can choose if the price will be calculated as the sum of all items or a fixed price.
I see two options for you:
Use the fixed price and create one bundle for each camera kit. The bundle will have an option "body" and an option "lens", each option has only one product selection and is marked as "required" (i.e. you don't have a choice)
Use dynamic price and a special price, then you can add different body and lens selections with different prices from which the customer can choose, but can give a discount of for example 10% on the bundle.
I am trying to import configurable products into magento using magmi.
Consider simple products for configurable :
Product, Color, Quantity, Price
Product 1, Blue, 100, 10
Product 2, Blue, 50, 5
Product 3, Red, 50, 6
Problem that I am facing is that product might have different quantities which will have different prices.
So configurable options would look like this:
Quantity::50:5;50:6
Is there any solutions to disambiguate which price is for which option?
I'm assuming this is what you're wanting as your question lacks detail.
Customer views configurable product with drop-down (configurable) options
Customer selects drop-down attribute values and hits add to cart.
The simple product (that matches the selected attributes) is added to the cart including the price for that simple product.
Magento does not do this out of the box. If you want the actual simple products to be added to the cart along with their prices, you'll need to modify Magento with an extension that does this.
Personally I use Simple Configurable Products which does exactly what I've described above.
Then in Magmi, you simply upload the simple products, and also one configurable product that has those simple products associated to it. You can use the simple_skus column in the CSV for the configurable product to define which simple products are assigned to the configurable product.
Just make sure your simple products are imported before you import the configurable products. You can simply make sure the configurable product is BELOW all the simple products in the CSV datasource file you import.
We have a bunch of bundle packages and if one of the items is not available, the bundled product will show "out of stock" which is good. However, the price will show the amount of the available products.
Is there a way to show the full price to include both the available AND unavailable items? Or to just hide the price completely if an item in the bundle is out of stock as this can upset customers when they see a lower price compared to the full price when bundled product is available with all simple items in stock.
Example: http://screencast.com/t/vIKSfcXUQA , that out of stock bundled product is actually over $600 when all items are in stock.
EDIT: Bundle Product price options are set to Dynamic and price view is set to "As low as"
Login in to your Magento Admin go to System > Configuration.
On the left column, under Catalog, go to Inventory.
Under the tab Stock Options, you have a Display Out of Stock Products which you can set to "No".
If that did not work, then Magento is not allowing such a thing, I'm afraid.
I need to add a few products with the same sku but different attributes, such as weight and size. How can i do this with using magmi or anyway? As i understant product SKU must be unique.
You cannot have 2 products with the same SKU.
But there is a workaround for this.
You cannot use configurable products because each combination of attributes must be a standalone simple product, hence different sku.
But you can simulate this using custom options (See the tab 'custom options' in the product edit page in admin).
It has all you need. You can have the same sku, you can have different prices for different custom options.
There is only one drawback.
You cannot have a separate stock for each combination of options. The product can either be in stock or out of stock.
So if you use up the stock for a weight and size you have to manually remove it from the backend.
I have a configurable product which has a number of associated products, each of these is a simple product and determines the size of the product.
I want to add a number of the simple products to a new category "Sale", but this doesn't work unless I set the main configurable product as Sale too. But if I do that then all the sizes appears in the Sale category.
How can I make only specific sizes appear in the new Sale category?
I guess you're trying to promote those simple products in a special way, right? Maybe an product attribute would suit your need better.
However, if you have configured your simple products to not appear as single products in catalog, they will not do this of course. If you set your configurable products to the new category Sale it doesn't matter what the simple products have been assigned to, they will always appear.
What might help you, is to copy your configurable product, attach that one to Sale an associate only the simple products that should appear under sale.
