Hey y’all! My shop is still unpublished but I’ve run into some issues with the APF prices displayed in various places. There isn’t any real consistency (see screenshots in link below) and I just want the option to keep everything separate. The way prices are displayed now, customers may be confused as to whether they’re being charged $65+$5, or $70+$5, or not being charged at all for the add-on.
Specifically: – Add-on displayed in the shopping cart widget under the base price – Base price, not including add-ons, displayed in the left column in both cart and checkout
The little pricing hints next to the options show how much extra the option costs. The pricing summary at the bottom shows the base product price, total addon cost, and then the grand total.
With our paid version, you have the option to hide the little price hints, and hide any line of the pricing summary. Moreover, the base price label (below the product title) can also increase as options are selected. Sadly our free version doesn’t have those options. Hope that clarifies things!
Hi Maarten! Thanks! I’m just concerned some obtuse people will see the $70 and the $5 below it on the left and think they might be charged $70 + $5 instead of mathing and realizing the $5 is already factored into that price. Same thing, they might not think their add-on is added on without the price appearing in the cart widget. I’ve worked on other ecommerce platforms and I know there is always someone. lol
I’ll continue poking through the code and see if there’s something I can change in the backend to achieve this. I appreciate the response!!
Perhaps, but I think I found a workaround! I think I can make a field in ACF for the base price, and just swap it out where needed. It works on the product page as a test case, so now I’m working on the cart and checkout pages. The widget will be next!
You’re free to post the code, but I’m hoping you won’t. 🙂 I’m afraid people will misunderstand its use, try it for a different use-case and then come to us for support on that code. Our free support doesn’t have the bandwidth to deal with that.
I get you. I won’t post it publicly then. Is it ok if I share it if someone comes to me directly about it? I don’t want to make life harder for anybody.
