Product Sale Price Display

[firstglimpse]

I'm trying to find a module that will display both the orignal price & the sale price on the PROD and CTGY pages. I've had luck finding some for v.4, but nothing for v.5.

Yet, I believe it's available somewhere because I can see other storefronts using something I want and the URL ends with MM5.

Example CTGY Page
http://advanzdesign.com/store/mercha...egory_Code=MM5

Example PROD Page
http://advanzdesign.com/store/mercha...egory_Code=MM5

True, this storefront sells modules, but from what I see they only display the discounts w/in the cart.

I do know of a way to do this w/o a module using custom fields, but it still requires a lot of work of the storeowner to update and would like to make it easier on them when they offer a storewide discount sale. Plus it does not show any savings in the cart pages.

Thank you.

Re: Product Sale Price Display

You can do it without a module by putting the regular price in the cost field and sale price in the price field. Then modify the page templates to show both prices if they are different. You would need to make a mass import of all products with the extra prices.

Or you could use the volume pricing module to apply a storewide discount and set the volume discounting to begin at 1 instead of a bulk purchase of the item. It has an import from flat file. In this case the flat file would consist of one line to put a specific percent off for all products in the store. See

for more details.

What other options are available if the store is already using the cost field?

The module I cited or custom fields.

Re: Product Sale Price Display

Volume pricing is not an option. I suppose a custom field could be used for original price - that makes sense. Then put the Sale Price in the Price field.

Re: Product Sale Price Display

I figured out a way to make this possible.

I am using the "related items" to display the other ordering options. Then I've used a custom field to create a minimum quantity field. Finally i have an if / else statement so if there is a custom quantity entered it shows the quantity box with the minimum number or else it shows the default quantity box. I've tested the order and the quantity does follow through to the cart.

Hi Leslie: How do you "modify the page templates to show both prices if they are different. You would need to make a mass import of all products with the extra prices."?

The way we do it is to create a custom product field and call it "Retail Price". We then use the regular price field and call it "Our Price".

You then fill in the "Retail Price" field in your spreadsheet (or do it manually in Miva admin).

Then we use the following tokens on the Category and Product templates:

Retail Price: <s>&mvt:product:customfield_values:customfields:retailprice;</s><br>
Our Price: &mvt:product:formatted_price;
