Product with startup costs

[bambi]

Selling Tshirts with printing on. Printing plate costs a fixed price no matter how many Tshirts you buy say 10£. Every Tshirt (with no printing) costs 2£

If someone buys 4 Tshirts with printing the cost would be – 10 + 4 X 2 = 18£ ; if someone buys 8 Tshirts the price will be 10 + 8 X 2= 26

How can this be implimented in PS

Any help would be highly appriciated

Could add the 10£ base rate as a handing fee in the shipping tab, that way all orders would pay for their plate costs.

Hi Zenith

Thank you for your reply.

I am selling different products with different startup casts and some products are with no startup coast. I am not sure I can impement your solution.

Oh ok, yeah this way wouldn't work then.

The only other way I can think of doing it would be to offer discounts on the product. Set the price at 12£ for the first item then discount the other 10£ for every other item added so each extra item only costs 2£, of course this won't work with attributes as PS haven't implemented that feature yet.

Hi Zenith,

ThanX again for your reply.

I am using discounts for the products I am selling so can't use them for the workaround your have suggested.

Had an idea to create an accessory with "startup cost" value and once a product is added to the cart the accessory is automatiaclly added to the cart as well. I am not good enough to write the code this suggestion.
