Negative option prices

Hi TI Community!

First of all thanks for this amazing software. It’s very extendable and really easy to use!

I was wondering though, how is it possible to allow for negative option prices? We have for example a cheaper form of bread, that isn’t standard, but could be chosen. It only seems to be the validation rule, as the database accepts it just fine (I can manually update the database and that works perfectly).

I can of course alter the validation rule, but I don’t think that’s a durable option, as everything would be overwritten when an update happens. Does anyone know a way to update this using an extension? Or maybe how to enable negative option prices (can also imagine it’s a setting).

Thanks in advance!

Kenneth

kenneth873 What you’re trying to do is not possible with TastyIgniter except through a custom extension.

Negative pricing is not always the best pricing strategy because it can be confusing to customers and result in unexpected behaviour. See if there’s a better approach without using negative pricing.

Say you have an option price of -3 and menu item price of 5… You can set the menu item price to 2 and your option price to 0

This looks like a custom feature, I don’t think it’s a priority that the development team will be willing to deal with now. If it’s urgent, you can send custom feature request to the development team using the form on this link. (https://tastyigniter.com/contact)

Thanks for your replies!

I can imagine it’s a very specific use case and that it’s not always the best from ux perspective. I will discuss internally and might start developing a custom extension.

Kind regards,
