I am trying to set this up and I've read the FAQ and I don't know if I am making this harder than it needs to be but I'm having a hard time with this. So, I have linens and I have the colors. I want to show the linen colors on the website and the customer click the image to choose the size. I want the customer to have to click the drop down to see the different sizes. Right now, under the product image, is has the price of the first variant.

This is how I set this up:
I have 1 characteristic called "Size" and the values I have entered the size of the linen.
I have the image of the color "Almond Linen Color" entered.
I added the Characteristics "Size" and saved it. The variants tab appears.
I click the "Add variants" button and manually choose each and every size I want for this item.
I click the edit button to set up the price.
Save

My issues, on the website, the image currently shows a price which is just for one item. Is there a way I can put "Choose Options" like the button has?
The variants
--How do I set up the variants to always have the same price for the items? I don't want to be entering prices for each item each time, same if there was a change to a price.
--When I entered the "Price", the "Price with Tax" is the same as "Price" and is not calculating correctly with tax. It is showing the exact same number as "Price"

I am going to continue to fiddle with this but here's the link to the website/color referencing the above scenario.

Hi,

1. What you could do is add a value "choose option" to your characteristic and the corresponding variant in the product. Then, select that vatiant as the default one and set a price of 0 for it and a quantity of 0.
That way, the price will only appear after you select something else in the dropdown. And the add to cart button will also appear at that point.
Then, you can translation override to change the "free" and "no stock" messages you will get instead of the price and the add to cart button with translation overrides:

2. The prices have to be entered for each variant in your case. If you want to make it quicker, you can use the "copy" button to duplicate the first product to create the other ones with the variants pre created.
For the update of prices, you can potentially use mass actions (menu System>Mass actions) to updates the prices across all the products at the same time:

3. The price with tax is calculated dynamically based on:
- the product tax category you selected in the main product
- the tax rules you created in the menu System>Taxes
- the main tax zone setting of your HikaShop configuration
- your backend user address (if any)
So you need to check all these.
