I started using Fat Free Cart and need a little help. How do I incorperate into the code of an item an extra charge for larger sizes, like +$2.00 for XXL?

Hi. The pro version of this software offers that facility. The pro version however, seems to come with hosting and attracts a monthly fee.

Quickly looking at the code of the free version in Dreamweaver, the item value 'appears' to be a simple html form field. Although someone may possibly suggest a much simpler solution, without using an active language such as php, I am not sure how you would change that value.

Unfortunately there is no support offered for the free version.

Nooo! Oh well, that's okay. Looks like all the prices are going up a little. Thanks for your help.

Hi Frank. Have a look at mercantec.com. They do a similar cart that offers options with an extra price element. A few other people offer free carts too. Googling will bring them up.

I don't charge extra for the larger sizes myself and didn't find any sites that did. If your customer recommends a friend or family member, then it's a small price to pay for getting the extra business. Being treated equally, will increase the chances of your customer returning in the future.

Have fun.

Have just tried out that code in Dreamweaver and it does actually work.

No need for the ejunkie cart now.

for free carts, you can't beat zen-cart.

Only problems I've found with Zen-Cart and Cubecart, is customers having to go through all the registration crud before they can checkout & pay. Sure there are workarounds for that, but they are difficult to locate on their forums.
