Product Setup Question Downloadable and Physical

Hi,

Indeed, I would recommend using a characteristic with 2 variants in your case.
In the downloadable variant, you can add the file in the Images & files area so that it would be available to the customer after the purchase.
And in the physical variant, you could use the "quantity per order" setting to set a minimum quantity. And you can also configure several prices with different "minimum quantity" in the variant. So that you can have discounted prices for bulk purchases.

I don't think the "discount" feature we provide in the Orders>Discounts menu is adapted to what you want to do since you can't restrict a discount to a quantity being purchased. A better option would be to have several prices, as I said above, or you could also configure a "coupon" ( in Orders>Coupons) limited to that variant, with the "auto load" setting activated, and the minimum / maximum quantity settings. But with a coupon you would only get the discount applied during the checkout, and you can only have one auto loaded coupon per cart. So I think configuring several prices in the physical variant would be more suited to the situation.

Hi,

You can use a mass action to change the prices of many products and/or variants at once:

At the end there, there is even an example to add 10% on all the prices at once for the products of a category

Hi,

Yes, but all at once. Not update "only the prices for "10" purchased". That would require running a MySQL query.

Hi,

It would be easily possible with a MySQL query in the database. But it wouldn't be possible via the interface as there is no way to filter
the targeted prices based on their "minimum quantity".

In that case, instead of having different prices for different quantities, a solution would be to have a second characteristic for the quantity. Then, you would enter the different possible quantity values and add that second characteristic in the products.
Then, instead of 2 variants, you would have one variant for the downloadable variant, and one variant for each quantity for the physical variant.
Then, in the mass action, you would be able to add a filter based on the characteristic value to target the price update over all the products but only for a specific quantity.
