Any possibility to use Any with the markup?

After going through your plugin code, I now understand that you do the calculation of the markup at the product setting level using the bulk_edit_variation.

Would be great, if the calculation can be done during the add to cart level, so that I can combine the pricing with other function as well. for example bulk discount pricing.

I would love to help you extend the plugin if you interested to include this method as well.

So your plugin can be use together with other pricing plugins.

thanks

I’m not entirely sure what you are asking, but I think you want to know how to use the plugin if you have variations with [Any] for one or more attributes.

Markup by Attribute cannot add a markup to a variation for any attributes that are marked [Any]. However, in many cases, not all attributes have a markup. For instance, suppose you have three attributes, Size, Color, and Type. Now suppose that only Type has a markup, with some types costing more than others. When creating variations, you can create them with [Any Size] and [Any Color], but you must specify Type.

So, in this example, if you had five Sizes, six Colors, and seven Types, you only have to create seven variations instead of the 210 you might expect. But, if Size has a markup (let’s say for XX-Large), then you must create 35 variations (5 Sizes x 7 Types). But that is still far less than the 210 if every attribute has a markup.

I’ve also seen cases where one of the attributes is so significant that it makes sense to break it into several products. For instance, suppose you sell furniture and have Style as an attribute. Clearly, different Styles should be different products with different base prices. Things like Fabric, then, can be attributes of each style.

Does that help?

We must have been writing our responses simultaneously!

Thanks for the offer, but I am not interested in expanding the plugin. I am a retired guy who wrote and supports this plugin in my free time, and I don’t make any money with it. I wrote it to help a friend with his store and have made it available to everyone else. There are many other plugins that do what you ask, but most — if not all — of them require a subscription.

Best of luck finding something that works for you! And thank you for considering this plugin.

Basically i have the following setup

1 product have

6 different variations

and maybe around 30 attributes that have markups.

but one of the attributes i need to setup a custom input for the users.

so if lets say i have 200 variations, i will need to manually setup each of the variation for the custom input which is quite tedious.

right now, i just setup

{any for the 5 variations} and for the custom input i will need 4 different variations.

in total as of now, I just need to setup 4 totals variations with 9 custom input, which is manageable.

that’s why I was wondering, if anyway, I can change how the plugin calculate the pricing, instead of calculate it on product edit page, I want to calculate the markup during the add to cart function.

I hope my explanation make sense to you.

actually I’ve tried various plugins, but for now, nothing really do what your plugin did.

that’s why I see some hope when I found this plugins.

Well, thank you.

Changing the plugin to calculate the markup in the cart would require a rewrite. The plugin was designed around the concept of changing the price of the product variations instead of doing it in the cart.

There are pros and cons of each approach. If we change the pricing in the cart, we can do what you are asking, plus we can change the markup without having to recalculate the price of the variations. But, when I wrote it, the owner of the website I wrote it for needed to (1) manage inventory by variation, and (2) retain older markups on some products, while using new markups on newer products. The approach I took lent itself well to his requirements.

Thanks again for your interest. I hope you can work something out that isn’t too difficult to manage.

okay understood.

thanks anyway for taking the time to reply my question. it is okay if I use your code base to do some changes to cater my needs?

if so, thanks.

Be my guest.
