    help question Question regarding product packaging

    Dear Sirs and Madams!

    I have following situation:

    Product PRODUCT_A is available to customers in 1L, 2L, 4L and 5 Litres (Bottle) and in 60L, 202L and 240 Liters (Barrel).
    Product PRODUCT_B is available to customers in 1L and 5L (bottle) packaging.

    Are these package types "treated" in zen cart as product attribute and can I use some attribute (in my example, 1L and 5L) for more products?

    Sincerely,
    Marko

    Default Re: Question regarding product packaging

    You can set up these VARIABLE package types as ATTRIBUTES - as you have discussed.

    Attributes work on the basis of an OPTION NAME, and then each OPTION NAME has a range of OPTION VALUES associated with it.

    So in your case, you could set up an attribute set with OPTION NAME called "SIZE"

    And for that OPTION NAME, you could give it the following OPTION VALUES

    1 Litre
    2 Litre
    4 Litre
    5 Litre
    60 Litre
    202 Litre
    240 Litre

    It does not matter if several products SHARE this attribute set... You will just "allocate" relevant OPTION VALUES to each product, so if a product has ALL the options available, you add ALL the values when you apply the attribute set to that product.

    If another product is just 1 Litre and 5 Litre, then you just apply those two values when setting up the attribute set.

    For EACH product, the PRICE of the attribute value can be addedd on a per-product basis...

    ... so,

    If PRODUCT "A" can be bought in 1 litre packs, and that litre pack costs 10 dollars, you apply that PRICE when you insert the option value to the product.

    If PRODUCT "B" can be bought in 1 litre packs, and that litre pack costs 25 dollars, you apply that PRICE when you insert the option value to the product.
