same product but different sizes

[thebeard]

I wnat to sell a base product with different sizes, ie a pool heater that comes in BTU's of 100, 000, 200,000 and 300, 000 BTU an hour. Each unit will have different prices and shipping weights. Is there a best way to display this, or do I just need to have a seperate product description for each?

Hi
You have a lot of choices in Zen Cart. You can use diferent products for each catagory or you could use one product with one or more atribute catagories. You could even place a unordered list of the product numbers as part of the product info that brings up a pop-up window and have one set of atributes that show each model number and set the price to _X for each for each atribute.
You can check out my store at http://www.london-directory.biz/store the flower section shows multiple atribute catagories.
Kind regards

Thanks, I think this is the solution I was looking for. Merry Christmas Stephan!

The attributes features is what I need, but is there better information than what is in the tutorial on how to use these? I took way too long to do what I did, I'm sure there is a better way. Help!
