Default Re: Selling by Weight

It doesn't have to calculate based on the products actual weight, you can do that for it by setting the quantity discount levels. if a product weighs 1.5 grams and you want to give a discount after 15 grams, then set the quantity discount level to 10. Make sense?

Thanks for your reply. That would work, but they have 500 products and the price of silver changes daily.

There are 2 categories that this "price list" adhear to.

So it needs to be tied to the category because the customer would need to change the category pricing many times.

At the very least they could tell us when pricing changes and we could edit the SQL file, to aliviate a having to create a control panel for them to edit.

Thoughts?

Thanks
