Price on category page for "Grouped Products" is not the minimal price if there are tier prices

[apiuser]

Feature request from zolthan, posted on GitHub Apr 14, 2016

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a grouped product and assign it to a category
2. Create a Simple Product
3. Add some tier prices to the Simple Product
4. Assign the Simple Product to the Grouped Product
5. Go to the category in the frontend

Expected result

1. The displayed price of the grouped product should be the minimal possible price. ie. the minimal tier price.

Actual result

1. The displayed price is the minmal normal price of the assigned simple products. The tier prices are not evaluated.

Hello @zolthan , tier price is applicable if quantity is not less than N, so it won't be "Starting at" price as it will apply to certain simple product only if quantity is set >=N. Total price for that simple product will be equal N*Tier_Price (obviously it will not be the min price for most cases). However if you add some tier price with Qty = 1, it will be displayed as "Starting at" price if it's really min price within grouped product.

I hope this will help. I'm closing ticket. Please feel free to reopen if you have any additional questions.

Best, Anton.

Hi @antboiko,

thanks for your reply. That doesn't seem to be correct for me and our customers. If a product normally costs $10 and can be bought for $2 if you buy 100pcs, then the starting price should be $2. As a Magento developer I know the difficulties and prerequisites in the code. But logically it would be more correct to show the real minimal price, not a price that is higher than any price I could reach within the product.

Can you follow my thoughts?

Best Sebastian

Hi Sebastian, I got your point. I've created internal ticket MAGETWO-52718 for this improvement and added it to the backlog.

Best, Anton.

Hi Anton, thanks for the reply. Maybe a backend config would be suitable where one can choose whether to include tier prices in the minimal price calculation.

Hi @antboiko,

    I really need to know if there is any work done on this functionality. This functionality can be customized at final_price.phtml level though!!!
