This Plug-in enables Field-Level Help Links on Forms as well as Price Affecting Options for Shopping Cart Items. This is an essential plug-in if you sell configurable or personalized items from your web site and need to be able adjust the price based on your customer’s selections. For example, a site that sells custom in-line skates may need to adjust the price of a pair of skates based on the type of wheels and bearings their customers select. This plug-in provides an easy way to add or subtract from the product price based on the options your customers select. It’s also a great way to charge for additional product related services such as gift wrapping. You’ll have the option to help guide your customers’ decisions by enabling field-level links on your forms. As in the custom skate business example above, you might want to provide a link to a site page that provides a comparison of all of the skate frames that you offer next to the Frame selection drop-down on your form. This feature doesn’t necessarily need to be used with the pricing options feature. You can use it to provide helpful links on any of the forms on your site.
Version v4.9.3 r31+ required
Make sure that you are running v4.9.3 r31 or later.
This add-on will not function properly on any version earilier than v4.9.3 r31.
How to find out what version you're running
Log-in to manage your website with Pro Edition (i.e. http://example.com/sohoadmin)
and look in the bottom right corner of the admin tool window (ie. in the footer).
How to update your version
If you're running v4.8.x or earlier than you've got to first update to v4.9 via Fantastico.
Once you're on v4.9 you can update to the latest build using v4.9's built-in Software Updates feature (Main Menu > Webmaster > Software Updates).
I used this addon to set up a selection of shipping options for my website. These options where not available in the SOHO builder and the Base rate plugin would never work right. I highly recommend this product for anyone wanting to add a variety of options to the purchase price of your items. Dan www.giftcarepackages.com
