Strange to say, but this is a slower time for my industry, so this is the perfect time for me to launch my new BVC5 shop!


I know I should have brought this up when I beta tested the earlier versions, but here's some of my questions.



Is there an easy way to set a Product Choice to be a lower/higher price rather than setting every individual SKU as separate prices? I have alot of products that have 20 prints and 5 sizes (price differing by size), so it is quite cumbersome to make sure each sku is set to the right price.



I also see how it dynamically updates the price when I choose the right Product Choices on the product page. Is it also supposed to dynamically change the image? I don't think that is working for me. I see the new image on the Shopping Cart page however.

It certainly should not be showing the cost as the users price. Is it possible that you have some sort of sale enabled, or that you don't have a proper price setup for each and every sku? You are correct, cost is supposed to be the cost to you, and price should be the user price. Also, when you are talking about setting up items, if you don't want to track skus on each item, then you should use product modifiers. They basically allow you to modify the price of a product without having to create a sku for it. For example:

Say you have a bunch of different prints for an item, "Print1", "Print2", "Print3." You would make this a product choice, so that you track different sku's. Then you can add a modifier for size which would be small, medium, or large. This would allow you to say have small as your baseline at add $0.00. Then have medium add $2.00 and then large could add $5.00. This would only generate sku's for the different prints though, which may not be what you want.

If you do want to track inventory on everything, then they should both be product choices and if you want to quickly update a large number of choices then you can use the product batch editing feature to set a price for a product then modify all the ones that have a size large to be +2 dollars, or whatever you feel like. Go to the Catalog tab and check out the batch editing sub menu and see if that works for you.
