Apply same price to characteristics for products

Hello,

I'd like to begin by saying how much I like this extension. I just began trying it yesterday for the first time and I'm very impressed!

Question: I am setting up a photography site where every product has the same 6 characteristics (size and print type). The price for these characteristics is the same for every photograph on the site. Right now, I have added the characteristic and created the 6 variants but I have to click on Manage Variants and add the value every time I add a new product. This is taking about 10 minutes per product. Is there any way (php or through the admin panel) to assign a permanent value to a characteristic?

Here are the screenshots:
Product Setup page: screencast.com/t/F6lj0oVTqF
Variants Setup Page: screencast.com/t/IryHNBqloou5
Assign a price to Variant: screencast.com/t/MtrLCQevOc
Next Product - what happens when I try to add the same characteristics - all variant values are reset: MtXUSxzVPQe

Hello, we are using hikashop and send you our compliments for the extension : here below i found an issue that i was about to ask to you, we have the same problem:

you suggest the business version in your reply, ok no prob we are counting to do this in the near future, but how can we do a batch edit of pricing of our 6 main characteristics? that we apply to all our images? lets say that in a couple of months we want to adjust the pricing of all our photos that we sell at 8x12 ? can we edit only one field or we have to enter into each and every image manually ?


Thanks for your helpful support

Hi,

If you use the Business edition, you have a copy button you can use on the products listing in order to duplicate a product.
That way, you will just have to change the image/name/description from one product to another instead of having to enter again all the pricing and other information for each product.

Hiya Nicolas,

I'm no expert at mySQL but would I be able to do that via a multiplier? For example - I have added all the prices as wholesale prices and would like to adjust them by 50% could I multiply prices buy 1.5? or what?

UPDATE jos_hikashop_price SET price_value=10*1.5 WHERE price_value=10;

also what if I don't know what the price is or if I have a whole range of different prices?

Hi, I have a similar problem. I've imported many products from virtuemart and want to add the same characteristics to them.
How would I run a mysql query where currently the value of each of 4 characteristics is not set but each characteristic needs to be a different value?
Or is there a way to do this via the mass action.
Thanks

Hi,
I have a monthly product, it has 4 options/characteristics with different prices, the 4 options/characteristics are the same each month, the price of each individual option/characteristic is the same each month.
So when I create next month's product I want to be able to just add the characteristic and have the prices appear the same as last month.
My main problem is I've imported over 200 products and as well as adding the characteristic to them, I'm also having to set up the prices for each variant each time even though they are the same for all.
Is there a quicker way to do this?
Is custom product field a better option?

Yes I know how to create next month's product by copying a previous one it's the 200 imported from VM with no characteristics I'm asking about.
Thanks
