I need some help with finding out how to work the Configurable Product attributes in Magento. I'm using Magento for a restaurant site and I need to be able to make different sizes of a food item at different prices but I want to keep them using the same product. So for example it would be like this.
Small Pizza 8.95
Medium Pizza 9.95
Large Pizza 10.95
But instead of having three completely different products, which I believe would complicate things very much so for the consumer, I would like to have one product that would allow the user to choose what size and be able to see what the price of it.

I want to sell a product with 8 colors and two sizes.
Making a configurable product means making 16 simple products!
When I need to update the prices, I have to update the price of 16 products!!
Using the bundle product and adding the size and colors (for the customer to choose) has the limitation of quantity (I need to know how many products with the specific color is left).
Is there any other way to handle that?
For this i think creating a custom option for the product would be the best idea. It is easier to create and very helful in these type of situation. Think about that. If you have same options for other product than there is an extension called Custom Option replicator which will help you to replicate the custom options.
Hope this will help.
Just stuck while doing setup for Magento products. How am I supposed to create product and associate some multiple options for Gift boxes.
So that, when a customer selects a product, a number of gift boxes will be displayed (optional for customer).
I am confused between group products and bundle products.
which one would be better to do so? Please guide me.
Thanks.
I think you should see about the cross-sells.This can fulfill your requirement. Have a look to the below link for general overview.
Cross-sells
If you want to choose the product type among above two, I think you should go with Bundle product. But may not fulfill your requirement. Have better understanding about these product types and choose the best according to your requirement.
Situation
My client has a Magento catalogue of thousands of simple products (wheels & tyres). Some of these wheels & tyres can be purchased together as a package (4 wheels & 4 tyres), and in this instance they can be purchased for a lower price, which I'd ideally like set as a separate price attribute.
They cannot be bought for these reduced prices individually though.
I have already created a custom form and controller for adding these products to the cart using the standard price, which works fine, but I need to make it so that it uses the reduced 'package price' for each unit instead.
What I've Tried
I have tried using tier pricing, but this doesn't work because as soon as someone buys 4 tyres on their own, they'll pay the package price rate.
I've tried setting a custom price on the product when adding to cart, which works but obviously creates that price for the product for general purchase so isn't an option.
What I Need
I need to know if there's a way that I can create a discounted/custom price on the products added to the cart using my custom form? I've scoured the forums but I'm not come across a solution yet.
I don't mind using an observer if need be, but I'm a bit stuck right now! I know that once in the cart the products get their prices directly from teh database so I don't know if something has to be done to the quote object instead?
Any help or advice much appreciated.
I am building a webshop in magento for an online printing service. The functionality I’m looking to implement is something in the lines of this example.

The price is affected by the configurations you choose, and also there is a discount for ordering larger quantities.
I have made my products as configurable products and set up the pricing for each individual simple product. But magento seems to disregard the pricing of the simple products and solely base the price on the configurable product.
Is this the right way to set this up? Or is there another best practice to set this kind of product up in magento?
If it is the right way, how do I get Magento to act on the pricing structure under the simple products instead of the one under the configuable product.
Use the Simple Configurable Products extension.
Is it possible in Magento to show the price range of simple products as opposed to the price set for the main configurable product.
For example, say we have a t shirt, configurable by size and each with a different price. It doesnt make sense to show a fixed price on the catalog page does it?
I would expect to see something similar to Prices from £3.99.
Does anyone know if this is possible without any custom modification.
I know, it is NOT good solution but worth to try.
Create simple products of each t-shirt based size then group this products like "Polo T-Shirt". Users will see only "Polo T-Shirt" but they can choose what they want from drop-down list.
