Bundle Products

Post by createanet » 18 May 2021, 11:15

Hello,

Could you please advise if it's possible to build bundle products on the fly?

eg. I wish to create a ui builder for the customer to choose from a selection of products, this can then create a bundle product which can then be added to the basket with a fixed price of our choosing.

Thanks

This would be only possible if you store the bundle product in the mshop_product table but this would clutter your database.

We would suggest to offer a regular or selection product with configurable attributes for all the options the customer can choose from. This is also the standard method for building all kinds of product configurators.

I have managed to throw together this functionality...it creates unique bundle of products specific to the customer not visible on the frontend, but purchasable. The plan is to group to a category or use an attribute that I can filter on in the admin which will be ignored , but remain in the system so the customer can re-order if required.

The store I am working on/with is more B2B, so it's not really "open" to the general public, and I don't see it ever getting aggressively used. Your suggested option may work for us, as I have also learnt that selections are not compatible with bundles, and all products on the store I am working with are selections :o .

The only worry right now is that the brief describes the customer having multiple options to choose from x, y, z - with limits on those options. I'll have another look over your documentation later today to see if anything like this is possible.

Thanks for your time and feedback
