Characteristics and Variants with custom pricing

Here is my use case

A customer adds a product (Large Pizza) and needs to add toppings, some are 1.25 and some are 1.50. I need the pizza to have one to many toppings.

I was able to add the product and a characteristic, but I am not able to select many variants to add to the product. Can this be done?

How do you do this quickly for multiple variants?
For example, I have rings that come in different colors. All ring sizes above 10.5 (to 15) are exactly $10 more for all models with all colors. Right now I am going in and adjusting the price for all 9 ring sizes for each color variant (e.g. Size 11 with the color red). This leads to adjusting the price by $10 for about 45 variants for each product. Is there a way, for example, to go into the master characteristic for "Ring Size" and say +$10 for this particular variant?

I'm not 100% sure how this process would work. I've looked for documentation but haven't found any. This is what I have so far:

Trigger:
After a product is created

Filters:
Ring Size is >= 11

Actions:
Update the values
Price_value = ??

What do I put here to increase the variant price of all ring sizes 11 and up by $10 of the master price?

Hi Nicolas,
I guess it'd be simpler to just layout the problem in it's entirety for you since I'm talking to you about the same overall issue in two threads.

I have rings with two variants, color and size. Some of the colors have different pricing and I have pictures of that ring in that color option. Also, all sizes are 11 and up are $10 additional. I tried doing an import but apparently I can't control the image name which I use to describe the image being displayed (the image name is visible to the end user). So basically it looks like I can either do as you suggest and customize one set of variants and then go back in and manually adjust the excess created when I add the second characteristic (either way I'd be manually adjusting about 45 variants), or I can (I haven't tested this theory yet) manually enter the product with the images attached to the variants and manually naming them as I've been doing and then do an import to add the size characteristic with adjusted pricing. My hope is the system will update my existing product during the import instead of create a new one.

In that case, what would the action be?

Now in my mass action I have:

Trigger:
After a product is created

Filters:
CSV Products
In CSV of uploaded file (see linked)

Actions:
??

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I keep getting errors:

The line '' could not be imported Product not found

My CSV file is here .
And my product is here .

Also, if it helps, here is my product screen.
And here is my variant screen.

Hey Nicolas,

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? This is literally the last part I have to do to finish up this site. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I tried what you suggested and only included the price_value, product_published, and product_code columns. I still got the following error:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #4 is not an array in /home/content/98/10133298/html/bellaraejewelry/administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/massaction.php on line 1401

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/content/98/10133298/html/bellaraejewelry/plugins/hikashop/massaction_product/massaction_product.php on line 250

To be safe I added in the product_parent_id afterwards and still got the error. You can see the updated CSV file here . Thank you so much for your help thus far, I just can't wait to finish this site!

Hi there,

Could you please post here the lines which are in this file around the line 1401 so we can have an idea of where the error occurs? (the line numbers are different on customers end since we have comments).

massaction.php line 1401 & 1402:

$mergedColumns = array_merge(array_keys($productColumns),array_keys($priceColumns),$categoryColumns,$characteristicColumns,$otherColumns);

$wrongColumns = array_diff($columns,$mergedColumns);

foreach($ids as $i => $id){
	$oldElement = $productClass->products[$id];

	if(!empty($data->elements[$id]->price_value)){
		$data->elements[$id]->prices = array();
		$price_values = explode('|',$data->elements[$id]->price_value);
		$price_currencies = explode('|',$data->elements[$id]->price_currency_id);
		$price_min_quantities = explode('|',$data->elements[$id]->price_min_quantity);
		$price_accesses = explode('|',$data->elements[$id]->price_access);

I removed the product_code spaces and deleted the "product_parent_id" column. Still getting these errors.

I have no idea what you mean by "there is not quote at all".

New CSV file

Ok, my file now appears the way you have shown and I am still getting the same errors:

"price_value","product_published","product_code"
130,1,"Rs-12Lg_19_49"
130,1,"Rs-12Lg_19_48"
