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.
- 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.
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.
You will first need to create and save your product, before you can configure this in "Features" tab.
-
Edit the Product: Navigate to the product’s Edit page in your store.
/admin/store/products/view -
Enable the Feature: Go to the Features tab and add the Variable Price feature.
-
Configure Prices: Set optional minimum and maximum price limits.
-
Save the Product.
- 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.
- 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.
