1 product, multiple formats

**smokinjo** · 27 Jul 2020, 09:53 PM

I was talking to some one recently and the idea came up with simplifying my store.

I was thinking of having a product page for each and every item that I have.

I will be selling multiple sizes of paper cups(4 sizes and lids), plastic cups(4 sizes and lids), plates(2 sizes), etc...

I have seen on some sites the ability to, for the above scenario, have 3 pages:
coffee cups and lids - format (6 options - 4 sizes of cups and 2 sizes of lids) and the option for the quantity
Cold cups and lids - format (5 options - 3 sizes of cups and 2 sizes of lids) and the option for the quantity
Plates - format (4 options - 2 plate sizes) and the option for the quantity

How can each product page be set up in this manner?

Thanks

Great. I did not think of attributes.

When choosing the various formats and accessories, you can assign a different price to each one? The price does appear so that the client can see the price as the choose?

I see about adding an attribute, but after reading that page, and the links on that page, I did not see any references to pricing of the attribute>

Thanks

You may indeed assign a price to each attribute.

The documentation on this is not quite ready but you'll see how to do it by studying the Attribute Controller screen.

If you need to control the stock of these items (and who wouldn't)...you need an add-on for that.

As far as SBA, because documentation hasn't caught up with functionality, the latest software hasn't been put on the Zen Cart Site which means that the latest software (functional with most of ZC 1.5.x) can be found at: https://github.com/mc12345678/Stock_...butes_Combined
