One product, multiple weights, prices and 'grinds'

Hi.

I'm working on a site for a client and they sell coffee. Currently they have around 10 blends of coffee and sell three different weights for each blend. They also sell whole beans and three different 'grinds'. At this stage I could set up 120 different products, but the client only wants one product for each blend. How would I set Zen Cart up so that a customer can choose their blend (product) and then choose the weight and the grind? As attributes of the product?

As an example, one of the blends is 'Afro Cuban'. Currently I have three products (250g, 500g & 1kg), but would like only one 'Afro Cuban' product which can be delivered (and charged appropriately) as 250g, 500g or 1kg and can be chosen to be 'Whole Bean', 'Espresso Grind', 'Drip-o-lator' or 'Plunger'.

Thanks, Bruce

Okay, is this

  1. A dumb question
  2. I asked it the wrong way
  3. No one knows the answer?

Thanks,

Bruce

How would I set Zen Cart up so that a customer can choose their blend (product) and then choose the weight and the grind? As attributes of the product?
This is configurable with the attributes and would be along these lines (you did not specify if a 1lb of beans costs the same as 1lb of a grind)

Product = Afro Cuban

Attributes:

Grind = :
Whole bean
Espresso
Drip
French Press

Qty:
1lb/kg
2lb/kg
3lb/kg
etc

You can set this up as radio buttons or as a dropdown
