Kits/Bundles that contain products with kits/bundles in them

Post by Abinator » Tue Mar 17, 2009 10:23 am

How can I add a product to a kit component that has hidden kit components itself? I know that was a mouth full, so I will try to explain it with an example.

I sell products (fragrance oils) that come in 1oz, 2oz, 4oz, 8oz, and 16oz sizes. I have found that kits/bundles is about the only way that I can make them look the way I want on one page for the product. Here is what it looks like now:

Each of these sizes has 3 components to it... A bottle, cap, and the oil itself. I can get this to work and pull the oils from inventory, but I would like to add the bottle (different sizes) and cap so they pull from inventory as well.

I added a "product" that has 3 hidden products as a kit, but I can't select this product as part of the kit in the main product. Is there any way to add a product with hidden kit items as a kit option on another product.

I know what I am trying to say, and this still looks very confusing to me... Please ask questions if this isn't clear. I would really like to use my Able site to control inventory, but not if I can only capture part of what is being used/sold. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm pretty sure that current configuration of AC doesn't allow for this type of scenario. I had to write a custom product page to make it work for us.
