Object properties and price matrix
← BackProperties are the characteristics of choice (material, size, quantity); the price is set at the intersection of their values.
A property is what the visitor chooses from: material, format, quantity. A property has values, and the price is calculated not "per object" but per combination of values.
- Open the object in "Object management" and click "New property".
- Either select a ready one from the list "Select existing property" — so that identical characteristics don't spread across the site in three spellings — or enter "Property name *".
- Add values: "New value" for your own, "Add selected value" — to take from existing ones.
- Use the arrows ← and → to arrange properties and values in the order the visitor should see them.
When there are several properties, the price table becomes a matrix: rows are values of one property, columns are another, and the price is in the cell at their intersection. An empty cell means that such a combination is not for sale.
If it didn't work
- The price table has dashes everywhere. This usually means that properties were added after filling in prices: the set of cells changed, and prices need to be set again.
- A property with one value takes up a whole column. Properties with a single value do not participate in the matrix — they are shown as a regular object characteristic.
- You deleted a property and prices disappeared. That's right: deleting a property removes all its values, and with them the prices of combinations. Before deleting, you should make a backup.
