formulas.db is the right place to do this, and you would not need to change any templates. The following should get you started:--
formulas.db -- price [math show=f]markup=.1[/math][ShowIf [price]<300][math show=f]markup=.15[/math][ShowIf [price]<200][math show=f]markup=.2[/math][/ShowIf][/ShowIf][ShowIf [price]<100][math show=f]markup=.3[/math][/ShowIf]
[math][price]*markup[/math]This assumes the markup is 10%, then checks for <300, <200, <100, and resets the markup accordingly, then finally calculates the price based on whatever the markup landed on.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
