Is there anyway to get product Id of product in Shipping module, so that for different category I can charge Additional amount.
for eg: i have to two product in carts. One is in phone category and other is in computer category. for shipment I have to add $5 for phone and $25 for computer . so shipment charge should be $30 dollars in frontend. Is there anyway I can get product Id and corresponding product's category Id in Shipping method collect rates method??
Please help me, I am in a deep trouble....I hope Eg that I provided , explains what I need.
Thanks in advance.
You can get the products from quote
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getAllItems();
or
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/type_onepage')->getQuote()->getAllItems();
and iterating over those items (be aware of grouped and bundled parents and so on) will give you the category(s) they might belong to and you can make your conditions against those
This is only a tenable option if products belong to only one category. Unless something has changed in the last couple of versions, there is no data for quote items that shows the category context from which they were added.
WebShopApps.com has several already-developed solutions for shipping scenarios. Depending on development contract & budget, it may be more cost-effective to use one of their well-tested extensions, e.g. Shipping Override Matrix.

I have products with a normal price(let's say product A costs 20e) and a group price(lets product A costs 15e) assigned to my customer group
that I call it "Resellers".
I want to apply an extra 20% discount to specific Resellers (not to the whole Reseller group)
in the group price(meaning the 15e)
I tried to solve it by creating a "Shoping Cart Price Rule" (I called it "20% Extra Discount") it applies to the whole Customer Group
How Can I apply 20% it only to specific Resellers and not to the whole Reseller Group for the group price only?
What you are asking is not possible with Magento out of the box.
You can overcome this by generating a coupon that you can send out by e-mail to your specific customers.
or you can try to use an extension like this.
It's not free, but from the looks of it it might get you what you need.
I'm in no way associated to the extension provider. I just found it on a simple search on the web.
You need to do some coding in order to achieve above said, following is the way it should happen.
You would need to hook into an event, ex :
Changing the price in quote while adding product to cart: magento
Also in the observer created above you need to do something like
Add custom discount order in total with button
Now whats above will do :
Let us suppose you create a general rule for 20% discount but do not relate it to any customer group.
What happen is once a product is added to a cart you can check into an Observer whether you want to provide discount to this particular customer.
If yes programmatically add coupon to the quote or order else not.
Please note : there are various other type of event for ex: after moving to checkout etc, in case you do not want to use on adding of product to cart.
hope above helps.
I would like to programmatically display a discounted price on the product list/page so that each customer as a personal price shown based on a customer attribute (like gender for instance, and of course let it be assigned as new price for the user session) but I can't see a viable option via the magento catalog price rules involving customer attributes other than the assigned group.
I'm using the group to do different kind of discounts and categorization of the customers, so the path of "split the customers on the gender" (or similar) is not an option unfortunately, since I can't assign more than 1 group per customer.
At the moment I was thinking about setting up a custom observer to check for calls to the price generation and then let it consider my customer attributes when calculating the price.
Is that possible? if so, any pointers about?
Would you suggest something different?
Thanks a lot to everyone for your time.
As I was thinking before, I solved my issue creating a custom module with an observer looking for catalog_product_get_final_price calls, getting the customer details from the current customer session.
It works great, I just need to let it display the correct price in the catalog product list, but is minimal, as the price seems to be calculated correctly inside the product page and the cart
I'm evaluating if Magento will be suited to a particular client. They have an unusual requirement where their products may have two price components, one in AUD and one in reward points. There are three combinations of prices: all AUD, all reward points and a fixed mix of both.
I was wondering if Magento supports such a scenario? That is, can it have products flowing through to the shopping cart which have multiple currencies?
My research indicates you can have different currency prices per store for a product in Magento, but you can only have a single price per product within the same store. Also, that the shopping cart only supports a single currency (though you can switch between currencies), so I'm guessing I couldn't add two products, one from each store to the same cart. Are these true?
If my research is correct, I may need to resort to some sort of custom field against the products. If I do that, am I going to have to toss the standard Magento shopping cart out and roll my own?
Actually this might simpler than you think. If you want reward points as currency you can use:
SweetTooth Reward points http://www.sweettoothrewards.com/learn/
It already does what you need, and I have used it in the past several times. The company is very professional and the extension is A++
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:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/245061/
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.

Involved classes : Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Item and Mage_Catalog_Model_Product.
I get both of them as a result of listening an event ( on cart add ). I am trying to update the quantity information for a product from an external source.
So far I based my code only on the product information and I am not sure if this is correct.
What is the purpose of Quote Items?
How about an bundled of configurable product? Do you have any recommendation on how to get the individual items from a bundle product?
Thanks
I want to thank both responders so far for their effort but their responses are pretty far from my question. I'll try to respond myself based on the things that I've learned.
A quote is a concept related to the order, only that is previous to that in terms of work flow in Magento. A real world concept is something like a preorder, like a postIt on which you place your asked dishes in a restaurant without being an order or a bill.
I was monitoring an event (checkout_cart_product_add_after) that is sending me the $product and the $orderItem. I understand now that is sending both in order to get information about the product and information about billing and the representation of that product in the future order.
In the case of the grouped products for example where the $product is Tshirt with various associated sizes, the $product will contain the SKU of the main grouped product and the $orderItem will contain the instance of the Tshirt that was selected ( medium size SKU ).
FYI: So in order to update the information of a product at cart update you have is better to get the product info from the $item if is a complex type ( bundle, configurable or grouped )
Magento drops quote items into the cart, specifically. Those quote items are retrieved by using $product->prepareForCart. These items also include different information, such as quantity and configurable product options (on a quote item).
From a backend perspective, data for products are stored in: catalog_product_entity_*, whereas quote items are stored in sales_flat_quote_item (at least in Enterprise. someone else might want to verify this on community).
EDIT: Attaching some code that we wrote to import product inventories a while back.
$product = Mage::getModel("catalog/product")->load($productId);
$product->seStockData(array(
"qty" => (int)$yourQuantity,
"is_in_stock" => ((int)$isTheProductInStock),
"manage_stock" => $manageStock,
"is_qty_decimal" => $isQtyDecimal,
"use_config_manage_stock" => $useConfigManageStock,
));
Mage::getModel('catalog/product_api')->update($sku,$product->getData());
For your purposes you may just need to call $product->save();, but I'm including the whole snippet as written because it works.
Hope that helps. Thanks,
Joe
My first answer would be that a product and a quote for a product are two separate entities and therefore should not be modelled in a unified entity.
An example of why would be from the company I work for, and why we model these things separately:
In our e-procurement system you might have a "contract" between a specific buyer and a seller. The "quote" item models this when it comes to invoice entries. If there isn't a contract use the normal product price to create a Quote Item else adjust the price using the "contract" between supplier and buyer.
