Working on a 4.24 store with OUI (most current).

Set up a product to have a price of $0.00 with 3 attributes. First is a drop down box with 3 options. The first option has a price of $10, the second $20, the 3rd is $30.

After that I have 2 text fields. No price on either of them.

When adding the item to the cart, what is happening is, the price of the selected dropdown option is being calculated for ALL the attributes.

IOW, if I select the $20 option in the drop down and then populate both the text fields with some value, the result is the cart seems to think the two textfield attribtes also have a price of $20 and the total in the cart is $60 instead of $20.

If I select the $30 dropdown option and populate the two text fields the resulting item in the cart is for $90 instead of $30.

If I do not populate the textfields, then the option price end up correct.

Whats the deal? Anyone seen this before? The store packs normally...

Are the text entry boxes part of the very first attribute group you created, or are they all separate attributes? It sounds like you've made one attribute with a price, and then three line items under it. Each line, when filled out, counts as a "user selection" and gets the attribute price assigned to it.

Quickest way to verify this - view the attribute list and see what the arrows look like to rearrange the attributes. If you cannot move individual text entry boxes, they are part of the main attribute at the top of that 3-line list, and that's why they all count as up to 3 entries. If you don't want that, you'll need to create individual attributes for every line item.

Nope. They are definitely all seperate attributes. I can move the individual text boxes to any spot in the list I want. Same problem happens no matter what.

Can you do a screenshot of that attribute section and post it here, or email it to me? Something doesn't sound right about that setup....

Ok this id downright bizarre.

Here's what I just figured out..

Its 100% normal if I go through checkout without logging in as an existing customer.

But, if I log into an existing account, as soon as I do I get the above behavior. It adds the amount of the drop down option to each of the text field options. What hell?
