Stop the combining of items with same SKU in shopping cart

[efficiondave]

We've added a special personalization step to our system and it's working fine except that when a user orders two of the same items with different personalizations, AbleCommerce is combining both items into one and setting the quantity to 2. Is there anyway to prevent this without getting the full source code?

May be this workaround suits you. Create a product template with some some customer field and apply on your desired product. Now update ProductHelper code to auto populate this customer field and hide it on product details page. Hopefully this fix this.

Perfect! That's what we needed.
