Category Level Price
Hi Community,
I have a requirement where there are lots of products (upto 50 or more in
cases) under each category. Each of them are different but are priced the
same with same rules etc. Right now the way seems to be setting up pricing
details for each of these products (i.e. default and list price). However,
this is painful for 100s of product if done through the user interface which
is the preference. To simplify wondering if there is a way to apply some
inheritence based on product's primary category. For example if there are no
direct price associated can we look for prices associated with the primary
category . If that too is not available then recurse further to its primary
parent all the way to the top potentially. An example scenario is music
download by style / genre all of which are priced the same and there are
potentially hundreds or thousands of them. Of course would love to override
the price with a direct product price for cases but generally apply a site
wide pricing. Is this possible? Do advice if there are simpler ways to model
this or perhaps a support already exists.
Thanks in advance

Not sure how good of a solution it is, but you can do it by setting
price rules too (condition:category, action:flatAmountOverride). Though
you will need to create some price data for that to work. But things
will be easily manageable after that.

If you don't want to maintain price information for each product separately,
you could override calculateProductPrice service and introduce your custom
price calculating logic based on categories.

Why not use a seed data file, with possible proper import process?
It's easy to edit and, I believe, certainly faster than any specific UI, more error prone tough (C/P, etc.)...
