I want to create only one product in magento whose total price will be $50 more for any quantity less than 100 and $35 more for any quantity more than 100 while being added to cart.I have tried price rules but it seems to be not working.Please help me how do i create it.The product also includes additional parameters like tier pricing
These are the tier prices
You need to create a singled product and add tier pricing for it.
Magento knowledge base shows how to do it: http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/how-do-i-use-tier-pricing
I'm trying to figure out where to locate the function(s) that set the VAT for the shipping in Magento; both in the checkout and in the order made by the customer. If possible, the last function that is run that calculates the final VAT for the shipping might be the best one to override. The thing is that I want to make the VAT for shipping vary depending on the VAT on the products in the cart.
Take for example two products that cost 100$ each.
One product has a 25% VAT, while the other product has a 12.5% VAT.
Now, what I'd like to do is to calculate the VAT of the shipping by running the following calculation:
((100*25)+(12.5*100))/200 = 18.75
This would mean that the VAT on the shipping would be 18.75%.
While I'm on it, I also wonder how to get the VAT for each product in the cart, since each product can have a different tax-class.
In my shop shipping is free on orders over $75.
I want to add a free item A to the cart when the customer purchases a specific product B.
Item A is set to be free of charge by:
quoteItem->setOriginalCustomPrice(0);
This works fine so far. But for the calculation of the shipping costs still the original price of A is used. As a result, shipping is free when the original price of A and the price of B add up to be over $75.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
As #cads mentioned in this comment:
For Magento 1.4.1.1 and above you need to set $quoteItem->setCustomPrice(0); and $quoteItem->setOriginalCustomPrice(0); to get the right shipping cost.
We are using Magento EE 1.12. We have associated fees with individual products that cannot be taxed, however the product itself can be. The desired solution will be similar to a custom option where the fee is included on the same line item as the product and included in the product's price and therefore in the order subtotal. The only problem with a custom option is that the fee is taxed along with the product.
We've gone through several scenarios but I think the most likely solution is to use a custom option, but after the tax has been calculated we will reduce the tax to the correct amount. We tax on the subtotal and shipping. We will have access to the amount of fees so we can get the tax on that total and reduce the order tax amount.
Does this seem like a good solution? Does anyone have other ideas?
Make it a bundle product, and put in a product which is not taxable.
When I set up configurable products and they have options that include surcharges (i.e. the 2XL costs +$2.00) and I select the option with the surcharge, the price itself updates, however, the tier pricing associated with that product does not. So, this is what my customer sees...
Product is $10, the 2XL is +$2.00. If they buy 10 or more, the product is $6. When they select the 2XL, the price updates from $10 to $12, but the tier pricing tells them they are still getting it for $6 each if ordering 10 or more. When they add 10 to their cart, they get the correct price of $8 (the $6 discounted price plus the $2 surcharge) but this is just a bad experience - they think they are getting a deal they were never intended to receive.
How can I add to it so that when the option with the surcharge is selected not only is the price updated, but so is the tier price that displays?
I would suggest looking at an extension called Simple Configurable Products:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/simple-configurable-products.html
It will allow you to make the product price dependent on the simple product that is related to the configurable product. You should be able to set up the tiered pricing on the simple product and have it reflected on the parent.
That extension is not 1.6 compatible out of the box, but the following addresses that issue:

Magento allows tier prices for products and prices for individual options. However, tier prices for individual options are not supported. Still there are three ways of realizing tier prices for custom options. The last option is the best, from my point of view:
1. Displaying the surcharges on basket price rules:
It is the most elegant option if the products are imported with an import interface from an erp-system. In this case you can generate basket price rules, during or at the end of the import, which deliver discounts on each position. However, there is a major drawback: The discounts on the products are shown as one sum in the checkout. Therefore this option will only be useful in rare cases.
2. Better Configurable Products:
For each variant of the product an additional simple product is added. Better Configurable Product makes sure that the tier price is taken from the simple product. However, with many products and many variants, it will quickly become confusing. All these simple products must be assigned to a configurable product. Furthermore, all products have their own stock. Additionally both of the extensions use numerous rewrites that change the very core of the Magento system.
3. Generating additional individual options with prices:
An individual option only allows one surcharge, when 5 are needed - one for each tier price. So you add 5 individual options with different prices. The advantages of using this solution are moderate changes to the system while displaying the prices for the products in a reasonable way. The solution works with two observers – and additional rewrites of blocks for better visual appearance. Once passed the checkout, Magento just works with standard custom options. Therefore, it is very unlikely to experience problems in the later steps – e.g. invoice, shipment, credit memo and export to an erp-system. The disadvantages are additional options in the backend that are somewhat disturbing when maintaining the products by hand.
There is also a module as a sample for your own development. It requires entering of tier prices and individual options, in the backend. Finally, the prices of the individual options for each tier price are entered in the newly generated options. You can request a copy at http://www.code4business.de/kontakt-impressum/ free of charge.
