Pricing with a possibility to set the price for user groups

It is possible to set a different price for one single product. For example, a perfume price would vary depending on the volume (10 ml, 50 ml, 100 ml, 150 ml) or a shirt price would vary depending on the size (XS, S, M, L, XL). We have included a price variants for this kind of situations.

How to use the Price variants:

Reminder: Before you start setting the pricing variants, check if the option is activated in the SETTINGS / PRODUCTS / GENERAL.

1. First of all, you need to create an Additional field, to assign the pricing variants to, in the part SETTINGS / Product / Additional fields. Instructions for the Additional fields: Additional fields. If you have already created the additional fields forms, omit this step.

3. Assigning an additional fields group to a category (section Product/Category characteristics).

If you have already been using the additional fields and have them assigned to the category, omit this step.
Assign the group to the main category of the product. (Detailed instructions on how to assign additional fields to a category can be found here.) Once you assign the additional fields groups to the category, the respective variants are shown in the section Prices in the Product details.
E.g. you create an additional field called Textile. You create Size and Colour variants within the Textile additional fields group. You assign the Textil additional fields group to the Women´s clothing category in the section Category characteristics. As a result, the Size and Colour variants will appear in the section Prices of every single product in the Women´s clothing category. You can modify the variants afterwards.
