Decimal Quantities

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.5.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.3

Hi,

I'm working on a website for a butcher who wants to be able to sell his products by the Kg rather than in set quantities.

Is there a way that HikaShop can be set up to accept values other than whole numbers? E.g. 2.65 kg of meat.

The website also needs the option to be able to limit this feature to only some products as not everything the sell will be sold in fractions.

If this isn't a feature already then I strongly recommend adding it as I've already tried several other shopping carts and no one seems to be able to do it. Technology has come a long way so I don't see why this wouldn't be a hard thing to do.

Hello,
A solution can be to directly use Characteristics, you"ll find an example through that thread : www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/20874-price-by-weight.html

But if you really want to directly enter the weight yourself, the solution will be to directly use the following plugin, and :
- Go to "Hikashop->Display->Custom fields"
- Create an Item custom field
- Set the "Column name" option to ordered_weight
- Publish it for the front-end

By using that Custom Item field the price of your product will be multiplied by the number that you have added on the ordered_weight field through your product page.
