Ptphotography Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hello, Please help! Whenever I increase the quantity of the product, the price remains the same. Is that supposed to happen? Or is there a code I should write? This is for 7.1 on Mark Novo template on trial. Thank you! Link to comment
Solution paul2009 Posted June 3, 2020 Solution Share Posted June 3, 2020 The price shown is per item, so if you increase the quantity you will not see an increase in the price like you will when a different size or framing option is selected. The customer will see the subtotal for multiple items on the cart page. Ptphotography 1 About: Squarespace Circle Leader since 2017.

Ptphotography Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 @paul2009 Thank you for answering this question for me. Just wondering if this is not possible even if we inject a code? Thank you! paul2009 1 Link to comment
paul2009 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Yes, it can be achieved with code. However, let me suggest an alternative point of view. If I were your UX Designer I'd be challenging whether it is necessary - or even helpful. For two reasons: 1. It's usually better to be consistent and follow established UX/UI patterns for ecommerce, as these are based on extensive user research and are known to help users achieve their goals more easily. Whilst it is normal to reflect changes in price for different variants of a product, customers don't expect the quantity to influence the displayed price, unless quantity discounts are available - but these aren't supported on Squarespace. It could be argued that this could confuse customers and reduce conversion. 2. How often will users purchase more than one copy of the same product variant? I hope that an alternative viewpoint is helpful 🙂 Edited June 4, 2020 by paul2009 Ptphotography and Ciodensky 1 1 About: Squarespace Circle Leader since 2017.

I supposed to have the same complain but you are right that it is better to lean on conversion than make it all convenient to the customers looking at our website. Thank you very much! 🙂 paul2009 1 Link to comment
