Varient Templates that can be assigned to products

Post by janice » Sun May 12, 2013 3:01 pm

I would like to see Varient Templates assignable to products which include pricing. This way when there is a pricing change and you have 100 products using the same price structure you just update the Varient Template.
My explanation is below.

I have a categories of cakes which have the same pricing structure. I know I can set up variants for each product, but when I have price changes it will be a nightmare. Here is the setup
Category: dessert cakes

Creme Cakes style (there's 10 style cakes with this pricing structure)
8" round 29.95
1/4 sheet add $50
10" round add 78
1/2 sheet add 115
Full sheet add 255

Fruit cakes style ((there's 8 style cakes with this pricing structure)
8" round 38.95
1/4 sheet add $30
10" round add 58
1/2 sheet add 90
Full sheet add 161

Custom cakes have all of the above plus
pricing variants for other items, ie icings, decorations, drawings

They all need to ask for "message on cake" which I know is done through templates

In my current shopping cart (not AbleCommerce) I set up "options" and then apply them to the products, so I can change one option and it will change all the product prices using this option.

Is there anyway to set AC up to work as the "options" in my old cart?
