Solution missed: Need to allow customer to enter a quantity for each attribute

[SITOLOG - F Bugnet]

Hi,

I'm selling photo retouch services ( www.myphotorescue.com ). Customers upload their photos, one by one, or as a bulk. The product quantity field is used to indicate the number of photos to retouch and calculate the correct price.
However, most customers also want to get a print. So I manage this using the declinaisons feature. I created attributes for the paper type and for the print size.

Some customers want to get more than one print per photo. So I do need to add a second quantity field to allow them to specify the quantity.
Ok, I could add a "print quantity" attribute, but this will multiply my number of combinaisons to something un-manageable (51 print sizes x 3 paper type x quantity (up to15) x other retouching options/attributes)
May be I could use a customization field to capture this second quantity. Not very convenient, I would like the print quantity field to be placed just below the attributes selection (print size), in the order form.

I also need the print quantity to be taken into account to re-calculate the item cost as soon as the quantity is changed, and when adding the item to the cart. I do not know how to do this.

To my view, Prestashop does not include any good way to handle products sold with options, and having the quantity of a given options set to something different than one, with a price/weight impact.

I was thinking to forget about attributes and manage the print option has a separate product. So the customer would order a retouch and if he want sone or more print, goes to the option tab and adds to the cart a "print" product.
The issue with this other approach, is that when a customer is ordering multiple retouches, I will have hard time to understand which one goes with a print or not, in which size and quantity...

So a bit stuck, and thought I could share with you and get suggestion and ideas. And why not solution, if someone already searched a for a similar solution.

Cheers

I would ALSO really like to know how to make this work, many customers buy things in bulk so it would be great to be able to enter the quantity desired. Will let you know if I find anything!

*Bump* This attribute is incredibly crucial for the store cart, haven't found any modules or workarounds for it yet. Need ideas!
