Link to articles

You can add a surcharge/discount for an article via the name of the article or the ordernumber.

From Version 3.0 you can also link surcharges/discounts to articles via a new tab in the article edit window of shopware.

Assigning two or more surcharges to article/article variants/categories

It is possible to assign more then one surcharge to an article, article variants or categories.

When using more than 2 surcharges/discounts, you may have to edit your Shopware theme to properly display them according to your needs.

Display behavior in listing and article boxes

From version 3.4.0 the display behavior in listing and article boxes is slightly different:

  • surcharges/discounts with identical names are now grouped together to one entry
    • this affects primarily variant articles
  • when surcharges/discounts with identical names do have different price values, a price range is shown (e.g. "1.50 € - 5.30 €)
  • when a surcharge/discount has a price value of 0, 0€ will be shown
  • variant articles: if a surcharge/discount is not linked to all variants, a 'if appl.' is added


if the default behavior does not meet your requirements, you can modify the templates to your needs.
