Add-on Options for Products

[zelwood]

I'm very new to all of this shopping cart business and I don't know if E-Junkie can do what I need our shopping cart to do. Basically we have a main product, a DVD, and we want there to be up to 4 add-on options that can be selected independently of each other. Is this possible and, if so, is it easy? Can someone point me to a similar use of E-Junkie that someone else has done with their store? Thank you all.

Since all your options affect price but are independent of each other, it will make sense to make all of them separate products.

[zelwood]

You would do that even though you can't purchase the add-ons without purchasing the main product?

I am in teh same boat as Zelwood.



I have 3 products that I would like to sell individually. If the buyer buys two, there is a fixed dollar discount...all three, and another fixed dollar discount.



Can't for the life of me figure this out though, as ideally it would be presented as "Add Product X for only $y, saving $z" or something...is this possible?

Your situation is not really related to this thread as it involves discounts and products can be purchased individually. Maybe you should consider creating 4 package products apart from main products. So they can buy A or B or C or they can go for your pre made packages A-B, B-C, A-C or A-B-C

Umm .. yeah, that could be a problem. The other way will be to create variants for your product. Variants will only have one option - "Addons" and the values of that option will be all logical permutations of your add-ons. That will also give you a control in the sense that if some particular add-ons are mutually exclusive and can't be added together (Like "color print" - "bw print"), you can simply not add that as an option.

If your web developer is well verse in JavaScript, have him take a look at cart at http://www.muvaudio.com/. It's custom JavaScript code but can be used to do what you need. However, that's basically hacking E-junkie cart UI and you are on your own.

Muvaudio is almost exactly what I am looking for here.



I am running a publishing company and would like the ability to easily allow people to select the option of having the book autographed by the author. I do not want a drop down or anything on the main page, or force the people to click on two options.



Is there another way to do this other than the way muvaudio did? By the way, I love their fix--e-junkie should definitely include this option!



Would love some help.

Where is the e-junkie UI to look at/edit?

[E-junkie_Guru]

You would need to examine MUVaudio's site or contact them regarding how they did it, since that is a custom hack they developed for themselves.



I'm not clear which "E-junkie UI to look at/edit" you're referring to or what you're wanting to accomplish with that?
