Can Zen Cart do this.....

http://www.customvinyldecalsnstickers.com/flame_sticker_241_02.html
the above is the site I am trying to link to
One more try:

I hope this link works. Here is my question, this website (is not mine, do not know them or what cart they are using) Notice how you can pick a size, and color, etc. Does Zen Cart allow you to add options before they enter into the cart. Another example would be clothes, can it let you select size, color, style, etc before you enter into the cart.
If it can, is there any tutorial that can help me learn?

Thanks alot for the help!

You can add attributes (color, size, etc.) to products.

This tutorial should help.

Re: Can Zen Cart do this.....

Cylde,
Thank You, That is just what I am looking for, I just did not know it was called attributes. I guess I will learn when I read it but I wonder if you can have more then one price for the same item, an example would be:
The same item comes in small, meduim and large AND different colors. So a small blue pony cost less then a large blue pony but all the ponies are listed and described on one page since they are all the exact same.

Yes, each attribute can have a price (added to or subtracted from base price), as well as a weight and other characteristics.

GJH,
Thanks, I made a website using purchased software and it limited what you could do with your cart. It looks like the Zen Cart will do it for me.

Re: Can Zen Cart do this.....

The best way to get a feel for what you can do with attributes (and other aspects) is to install Zen Cart with the demo products for testing. Each of the products teaches you about some feature of the cart.
