I have Simple configurable products installed on magento. How can I apply a discount to a configurable product which makes sure that all the simple products associated to the configurable also get the discount applied to them?
You could use Magento's Catalog Price Rules (Admin > Promotions > Catalog Price Rules).
There's some good information on how these work here:

Good luck!
I was also looking for the answer to this, but unfortunately didn't found it yet.
Below helped though. In addition to below, what i did is instead of selecting config product SKU, i selected all the simple product SKU which are part of that config product.

Today I've run into a new problem and can´t find a solution.
I've added some simple products and configurable products via MagMI. Everything is fine. Products are shown in the front-end as I want it. But following happens:
simple product 1 has a price of 49€, simple product 2 has a price of 90€.
Both are part of the same configurable product which has a price of 49€. Now, in cart, the single-price of both simples is 49€. (If I print out $_item->getSku() I get the right skus of the simple products, so I think, the products in cart are the correct ones)
How can I fix this?
It would be also helpful if someone could tell me where the subtotal is built exactly - I can't find this.
I would be thankful for all help or hints.
If the simple products are not visible individually then the price shown will be the price of the configurable product. The pricing variations on the associated single products are managed in the Associated Products tab of the configurable item.
Pricing is managed here as a plus/minus relative to the price of the main configurable.
I need to make "catalog price rules" or "Shopping Cart price rules" based on product type (simple, grouped, configurable...)
Is that possible ?
Thanks a lot.
I am also interessted by this option ( using SCP: simple configurable product), so CART pricerules should be applied only to SIMPLE product, not CONFIGURABLE ones
On a client's store we have configurable products based on a custom weight attribute (4kg, 10kg, 12.5kg etc...). I've set up a discount rule so that the discount only applies to products that are above 4Kg.
However, i realised the discount is also applied to 4Kg products. It seems that it's not pulling the attribute from the relevant simple product but from the configurable product. When trying with SKUs it was pulling the SKU of the configurable product rather than the simple product.
Has anyone been able to get around that? I'm using Magento 1.5.1
thanks
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.
http://www.digitalroom.com/secure/brochures.html
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.
In my store i have all the products as configurable products and there is no simple products displayed on store. Everything goes fine but then i noticed one problem.
After adding a product to cart by choosing the simple product from the configurable product page, i still gets configurable products sku in the cart , also it maintains through out the session. So we cant track actually which product sell.
Is it problem with any configuration or should i do anything to catch the simple products sku instead of configurable product SKU.
Please help me
This is probably a bit late if your store is filled with configurable products, but I've found this product a lifesaver in the past:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/Matt+Dean/extension/596/simple-configurable-products
It basically just adds the simple product to the cart using the simple product's price as the buying price. Custom options must also be added to the simple products rather than the config products.
As a result the purchased item is the simple product SKU rather than the configurable product.
