Questions about adding multiple products to cart, quantity, and products with variation

[wst]

Hello, I am trying to see if this product will be able to serve the needs of my company and have been working with it but hit a few road blocks that I am hoping i can get some help with.



First, we sell two separate books, in both PDF and hard copy formats. My questions are as follows:



1) is there a way to have buyers select both products BEFORE they click add to cart? Therefore, allowing users to add multiple items to the cart with one click.



2) Is there a way to allow users to specify quantity BEFORE they click add to cart? I searched and found a code that Tyson posted (http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3006), however i am having issues getting the input # to show in the cart.



3) Is it possible to use the product variation option and let users select between the teo formats (PDF or Hard Copy)?



Thank you very much for your help.

1. Yes, it's possible using the following JS function
   
   
   
   
   
   EJEJC_multiAdd(Array('purchase_url_1','purchase_url2','purchase_url3'));
   
   // you can have any number of URLs you want
   
   
   
   Purchase URLs are the URLs you get from E-junkie's add to cart buttons.
   
   
   
   Example:
   
   
   
   <a href='javascript:EJEJC_multiAdd(Array('purchase_url_1','purchase_url2','purchase_url3'));' >add multiple products</a>
   
   
   
2. If you break down the code from a link to a form instea, it's possible. See a live site using it at http://www.bunkbedking.com/bunk-bed-stairway-honey
   
   
   
3. A product can be digital or tangible or both, but there is no way for that to be controlled via variations. You can however using variants has two versions - digital only and digital + shipping. The downside to that will be that buyers opting just for digital option will still need to provide their shipping address.
