Variable Price

The UC Variable Price module allows you to enable variable pricing for any product in your Ubercart store. Instead of a fixed price set by an administrator, customers can specify their own price when adding a product to the cart. This makes the module especially useful for donation-based websites or pay-what-you-want stores.

Key Features

• Customer-Defined Pricing: Customers can set their preferred price directly on the product’s add-to-cart form.
• Minimum and Maximum Price Control: You can define minimum and maximum allowable prices for each product.
• Customizable Labels: Adjust field labels and titles to fit your store’s branding.
• Product Class Integration: Apply the Variable Price feature automatically to all products of a specific product class.

How It Works

Once enabled, the module updates the product’s add-to-cart form to include a price input field. When customers specify a price, the module processes it according to the configured rules and adds the item to the shopping cart.

Documentation

Adding Variable Pricing to a Product

You will first need to create and save your product, before you can configure this in "Features" tab.

1. Edit the Product: Navigate to the product’s Edit page in your store. /admin/store/products/view

2. Enable the Feature: Go to the Features tab and add the Variable Price feature.
   
   

3. Configure Prices: Set optional minimum and maximum price limits.

4. Save the Product.

Applying to Multiple Products

• Use Product Classes: Create a new product class and assign the Variable Price feature as a default setting. This ensures that all products of this class will have variable pricing enabled automatically.

Special Behavior

• Unique Cart Entries: Each variable-priced product added to the cart gets a unique ID, ensuring that quantity is always set to 1, regardless of how many times the product is added.
• Custom Cart Display: The module modifies the quantity display in the cart. To change how the quantity appears, override the theme function theme_varprice_qty() in your custom theme.

By leveraging UC Variable Price, you can offer a more dynamic and flexible shopping experience, perfectly suited for donation platforms and custom-priced product sales.
