Compound products

[peterLinux]

Hey list,

I am investigating if zen-cart is a good solution for my next e-store.

Here is the challenge:
there are 4 variations of sub-product A
and 6 of subproduct B

The end-products is ALWAYS composed of 1 A and 2 B's in any combination.

Do I have to make 4 categories (1 for each A) with 36 products (1 for each combination of B products)

or is there an option tohave only 1 page with 3 sets of radio buttons (1 for the 4 A products and 2x6 for the B products) and done...

The last solutions would be less clutter and easier for the customer.

I am afraid the customer will not see the trees in a forest of 140 very similar products...

All suggestions welcome.

Your explanation is a bit vague - I am sure you understand it but it is not clear at least to me??

Zen Cart has an attribute system where things like size (s .m. l), colors, additions like memory - 1GB, 2GB etc can be set up as selectable options

If this can work for you then you might have found your next ecommerce shop

I'm not really clear on exactly what you're doing either, but you might look at this mod:
