Options Variants Kits and Bundles

Post by kastnerd » Mon Jun 15, 2009 10:53 am

I have tested Options and Kits

for me kits is missing Variants

and Options/Variants dose not allow you to use it has a kit to build a bundle with each part having pricing rules applied for different user group / price levels.

So for me adding Veriants to kits sounds like the simiplest way to make my products display correctly.

How much work would it be to add Veriants to kits?

You can add items with variants to kits. You just have to add each variant one at a time to the kit.

What im looking for is i build wheels that are made of of rim, hubs and spokes.

Not all rims are compatible with all hubs and not all spokes are compatible with all rims/hubs. and not all hubs are compatible with all bikes.

So ideally i would get the information about the of bike first. Then only show compatible rims, then only show compatible hubs, then only show the spokes that work with that combination.

I can do this with options and variants by turning off variants that are not available. But I cant do it with kits from what Iv seen and been told.

P.S. I vary much like your flash based sabor builder.

I am getting ready too enter my products and go live soon. But I still have a big problem with Kits, Customers can select options that wont fit together.

Using Options and veriants this would work. But I have 4 use groups with 4 diffrent prices. And Options and veriants has no feild for the prices.

Should i try and edit options and veriants, or should i edit kits and bundles.
