How to sell product with discount per box in Magento? - magento

Is there a way to sell “a box” of some product using different prices?
I guess it would be something like this http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/setting-the-unit-price/, but this option doesnt appear in the Community Edition.
For example: 1 box = 6 items = 10% off
I tried to use tier prices, but the discount for the 7th unit cant be the same, it should be the regular price.
I also tried to use configurable product, but I can’t have a good inventory control, as it will be different products (one for box, and other for single) - like they did here.
An hypothetical situation would be..
A bottle of wine for USD 10,00.
2 bottles for USD 20,00
6 bottles (a box) for USD 55
7 bottles (a box + 1 alone): USD 65 (55+10)
Any ideas to make it possible?
Thank you very much.

i am sure that you will achieve this scenario with help of bundle product
you can check detail with Document LINK
And also you can apply discount for bundle product. when you are creating product from admin
let me know if i can help you more.

Magento - price rule "buy 2 for price X"

How can make the following rule.
Product: T.Shirts comes in 5 colours and in 5 sizes. It is set up as a configurable product.
Buy one for 120.-
Buy any 2 for 200.-
With buying 2 I mean not just buying 2 in color red, and size Large. It should also work when you buy 1 red/large, 1 blue/small etc.
Is there a way to set it up without buying an extension? I work on a Magento 1.9.2.3
First go to admin->manage product and open any product for that you want to set this functionality.
Magento called "Tier price" to this functionality.
after open product there is price tab on left side go to it.
There is Tire price section so click on "add Tier" and fill all data.
you set Tier price.
Done.

tier prices / configurable Products - doesnt work

im using Magento 1.8.0.0.
Im offering configurable Products with different Flavours
For Example:
My products is available in Vanilla and chocolate.
1x item 50€
2x items 45€
When the customer choose 2x Vanilla - he get the Price of 45€/Piece. But if he choose 1x Vanilla and 1x Chocolate he have to pay 50/Piece.
Can anyone tell me - how i can fix this Problem?
Tier price was made for selling packs of simple products.
I suggest you to take a look at Shopping cart price rules.
They are more flexible in configuration.

Creating configurable products with recurring options

I need to sell configurable product (allowing to choose size and color) with recurring delivery that happens few time per year.
So first I have created One configurable product with recurring option ON and few simple products under it.
But when I\’m trying to add it to the cart it says “Nominal item can be purchased standalone only. To proceed please remove other items from the quote. “. I\’m only adding one configurable product that has recurring profile to the empty shopping cart.
Okay, I\’m trying another way - turning off recurring option for Configurable product and enabling it for simple products.
Now it adds to card and I can complete checkout process, but in admin it show up as regular order without recurring profile.
Tried turning on recurring option for both: configurable and Simple product - the same error “Nominal item can be purchased standalone only. “
Are there any other options? What can you suggest?
Many thanks in advance!
I have accomplished something similar to this.
Please not this isnt exactly an answer to your problem, but I see you dont have much help here, so Hopefully, if anything, this will get you another way of thinking about it.
You may be able to do this with Bundled products.
Lets say you are selling Tshirts.
Simple item Shirt
Simple item Color
Simple item Embroidery
Bundle item = Custom Tshirt
This will show the Custom Tshirt as a bundled item, and the user will select from the bundle options. For example, sometimes black tshirts are more expensive. So you could set up pricing for those options
Simple Item shirt = $20
Simple Item Color -
Black = $5
White = $0
Simple Item Embroidery = $20
This will allow the customer to create a customized order with specified options.
I apologize if this doesnt help at all, but perhaps it will give you an idea!

Apply custom option price once regardless of quantity

I need to sell business cards in Magento. If the customer wants to use metallic ink (gold or silver) then I need to add $60 to the order, regardless of the quantity. I currently have Metallic Ink as a custom option, but Magento applies the $60 to each item. So if they order 100 business cards (which costs $25) there's an extra $1,500 added, making the total cost $1,525. The cost should be $85. How can I do this?
I've found Magento extensions that can do this, but one is $135 and one is $165. That seems a bit ridiculous to accomplish something that should be so simple for an online store.
Why don't you create an option for 100 cards, 250 cards, 500 cards etc and not allow the user to input the product qty but select it just like the ink option. This would stop people from ordering random number of cards like 37! Your problem is that magento takes the inputted qty and multiplies it by price (including options). If you remove the qty field (i.e so it always 1 when they click add to basket) and make the qty an option it allows for control over order volumes, discounts and surcharges like you are trying to achieve for free. Otherwise the quoted module prices seem very reasonable...
I would;
Create custom option for qty of cards with fixed prices for each
band.
Custom option for ink type with fixed price.
Remove or hide the
qty field on product page and cart.

magento tier pricing

In Magento, I have 4 customer groups setup, and different prices for each.
When I log in with a customer from one of these special groups, it shows the standard retail price of a product at $2.95 and a box beneath it that reads:
Buy 6 for $2.49 each and save 16%
I'm wondering if there is an easy way for it just to show the discounted price beside the retail price without all the rest of it.
I'm not sure where to start looking to make this modification...
EDIT: I'm running magento 1.5.0 - if that makes a difference.
The template change can be made at:
/app/design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/product/view.phtml
or if you have local templates then in there.
