Zero Price and Attributes
I can't find an admin demo so I thought I shoud ask here. I would like to enter a product with a price of zero. When the product is shown, no price would appear. I would like to add attributes to the product that will define the SKU and price.
 
So, for an example I could sell a spoon. I would have a picture of  a spoon and a description of  a spoon. the customer could then decide if they want a silver spoon for $60, or a gold spoon for $100, or a platinum spoon for $150. Each spoon (silver, gold, or platinum) would have a different sku number.
 
Is this possible in this system? Can I add a product with a zero price? Have attributes change the sku and price?

Re: Zero Price and Attributes
Yes, you can set product price to $0 and use attribute price adjustment to set the different prices for different attribute values.

Re: Zero Price and Attributes
If it has a zero price, will the price not appear? I have seem some web programs that will display a price of zero.
 
Also, can the attributes change the SKU?

Re: Zero Price and Attributes
Yes, it will display $0 by default. But you can easily change to user control to not display price when the price equals to 0.
 
No, product SKU in DotShoppingCart is defined at the product level and also is part of the URL to the product detail page. If you need some custom data stored in attribute level, please feel free to add custom columns to product attribute.
