This topic contains examples of using the Each, Total and Sum pricing methods when creating a Multi Price node. In general, you only need to use the Sum or Total pricing methods if you offer a discount on purchasing menu selections in bulk. For regular-priced menu selections, use Each.
For the purpose of these examples, the term "item" will be used to refer to both items and modifiers.

A 1-topping pizza costs $4.99, a 2–3 topping pizza costs $5.99, a 4–6 topping pizza costs $6.99, and a 7 or more topping pizza costs $7.99.
The Prices tab in the Multi Price node Property Editor with the Sum pricing method selected.
When you use the Sum method, you edit the quantity amount fields where you expect the price to increase, and enter how much you want it to increase by. As each quantity level is met, the price for that level is added to the charge for the order.
A 3-topping pizza would cost $5.99 (base cost of $4.99 + $0.00 [Quantity level 1] + $1.00 [Quantity level 2] + $0.00 [Quantity level 3] = $5.99).
A 5-topping pizza would cost $6.99 (base cost of $4.99 + $0.00 [Quantity level 1] + $1.00 [Quantity level 2] + $0.00 [Quantity level 3] + $1.00 [Quantity level 4] + $0.00 [Quantity level 5] = $6.99).

A pizza restaurant is offering the purchase of one small or medium pizza at regular cost, and the purchase of a second small or medium pizza for $6.99. In order to have SpeedLine calculate the price of this offer correctly, a multi price node will need to be created.
The multi price node Pricing Method is set to Sum, the Quantity Level is set to 2, and the Prices tab is filled out as follows:
The purchase of a single pizza would cost $16.99, but if a second pizza is ordered, the second pizza would cost only $6.99. The total owing on the ticket for the two pizzas would be $ 23.98 ($16.99 for first Pizza + $6.99 for the second = $23.98).
