[Typo3-shop] price calculations.

The contract is actualy a whole database table with all sorts of contracts 
titles and prices and every contract must reduce the base price of a mobile 
phone (or 'handy') by a different amount. So Vodafone 100 min a month for 1 
year deduces the price of the Samsung D500 by 200 euro's and T-Mobile 150 
min a month for one year deduces the price of the phone by 175 euro's and so 
on. (just examples)

In The Netherlands we have 5 companies with who you can sign a contract and 
so depending on the company the layout of this 'bill' must be changed. 
T-Mobile contracts require a t-mobile logo above the contract and Vodafone 
contracts require a vodafone logo (and if the keep bothering me with extra 
requirements maybe even some extra fields that need to be fild out by the 
customer).

That, my friend, is a promise. It's the least I can do. I just hope that I 
will get the hang of tt_products... otherwise I would have to insert my own 
custom php instead, which would take a long time but may be nescesery...

So... you think it still is possible for me to use tt_products to get the 
job done? Remember I have only been using Typo for half a year now, but I am 
fairly accustomed to php and programming principles in general (via courses 
in Java). The problem is that I am not familier with the Typo3 API and I 
have just begon to explore it.

Thanks for the reply,
