How to hide kit component prices

Post by fiddycent » Fri Mar 04, 2016 12:06 pm

Hi,

When I am on a product page for a kit, it shows the individual components of the kit with their prices listed next to them (Component 1 - $1.00, Component 2 - $0.50, etc). Which file would I need to edit to hide this price?

Thanks!

Have you tried the Kit setting to show components itemized or bundled? When the kit is set to use the bundled display option, then it doesn't shown the individual prices.

Thanks

It is set up to show as bundled but it is still showing the prices. It must be a customization that is affecting it. Which file might be the right place to look in to look into this issue? I tired BuyProductDialog but no luck there.

I'm not sure. What page do you see the itemization taking place? It would start in the basket and be carried through all the checkout pages.

I am logged out, and I opened up a product page that is a kit containing 4 other products. On the product page, it is showing the name of the product, then the 4 individual kit items underneath it along with the price next to each kit item. Each price is in parenthesis. It looks like this:

KIT ABCD
A - (1.00)
B - (0.50)
C - (0.75)
D - (0.25)

I'm ok with leaving the kit items but want to hide the price. Is this something that we can do or do we need CommerceBuilder source to make this change? I'm thinking it's the GetKitComponentName method. Otherwise I will just hide all of the kit items. In the admin section, the kit is set to display as bundled.

KIT ABCD
A - (1.00)
B - (0.50)
C - (0.75)
D - (0.25)
If you are using the bundled display, then you could just do something like -

KIT ABCD product with total price 2.50
A
B
C
D

Would that work? No customization needed...

Yes that would work but I'm unclear how to do that.

Just make sure your Kit display is set to "bundled".

Then adjust the price the of the main kit product to be the total amount (including all sub-products).

Now, change the price of all sub-products to 0. You should be able to do that on the kit configuration page.

Since the kitted sub-products have no price assigned, it should not be displayed on the product page or anywhere else.

Hmm I don't think that will work for us. We also sell the individual kit items separately so we can't adjust the price of those items to 0. Is there any methods that just return the name of the kit component item and not the price as well? I'm hoping to avoid having to purchase the CommerceBuilder source.

Take a look at your kit configuration page again. When you add the product, you can put in whatever price you want it to be - even 0. This allows you to change the price of the product, but for the kit only.
