Magento is the leading e-commerce platform rapidly gaining in popularity. This magento discussion was started by Didier D. 0n July 31 2009

I have a question about something which looks very strange to me.
When I use the variable : {{var customer.id}} into the “New Password” email , I get the customer Number.
If I use the same variable into the “New Order” email, I get nothing.
How can we explain this ?
What variable must I use to get customer number into the “New order” email ?

Magento is the leading e-commerce platform rapidly gaining in popularity. This magento discussion was started by shaneoston 0n July 31 2009

we have several clothing items both with size and color as variable. the documentation (the book which i purchased) has instructions with screen shots that don’t match our product. open source version 1.3.2.2.

specifically, i have created two tshirt simple products (small and medium) with a price and inventory. i go to set up a new configurable product. i don’t see where i associate the simple items to the configurable product or where to set the price based on the size selected.

Magento – How do I make configurable products share the same tier for pricing?

Magento is the leading e-commerce platform rapidly gaining in popularity. This magento discussion was started by rioteeru 0n July 31 2009

I have sneakers I wish to sell on my website. If they buy 1 pair it’s 1 price, 6 or more pairs is another price, and a dozen or more is yet another price.

However, when I make configurable products, i’ve found that they have to buy 12 pieces of 1 size and 1 color to get the price. If they buy 1 of each size, it charges full price.

Anyone know of a fix or workaround to get this functioning as stated?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
