I'm thinking of selling a computer, this computer can take 4 sticks of RAM.

I do not want to have to make multiple SKUs up to represent 2GB x1, 2GB x2, 2GB x4... 4GB x1, 4GB x2... etc etc. as that will spiral out of control when using server boards that take up to 24 sticks etc.

I was hoping I could list the same item eg SKU1 multiple times (but it seems I can only have a single SKU once) in my RAM category in the BTO item and then force a quantity for each listing of that SKU with a radio button or drop menu to pick one of the options. eg.

quantity:1 SKU1
quantity:2 SKU1
quantity:4 SKU1
quantity:1 SKU2
quantity:2 SKU2
quantity:4 SKU2

Failing that, listing them this way (below) and being able to limit the maximum quantity a customer can pick for the item, in this case 4 (so I don't get someone trying to get 80 sticks of RAM).. eg.

[x] [ quantity ] SKU1
[  ] [ quantity ] SKU2
[  ] [ quantity ] SKU3

Do you have a better idea for this small issue I'm having?

Thanks

Hi Nathan,

I have not been following this product but as far as I know they do not have a solution for this yet.

If you find something please post it here becasue I still do not have a solution for my company.

What are you trying to do?

Was support for this changed? I am a new customer and wish to do something similar. Using different SKUs does not sound like a good idea for me so I'm looking for alternative solutions.

Was one ever found?

How hard is it to learn how to customize the configuration page? Where, after we purchase the product is the file kept?  Can I see a sample of the configure page to see if I can understand it.  I have programmed perl and php so just wondering how this was done.

I have been testing the demo store and wanted to know if I am making an BTO product and have an inventory item as a pull down in the configuration set up, can I force the qty to be a value I want?  If I use the show qty box they get to put in anything they want but I want it to be a set qty for each product I am building.

I also do not want to force the qty in the product or use the minimum because that SKU or option will be used in other BTO products with other qty's.

In my first example I would like to make it a qty of 16 and then on another build it will be 20 for the same product.

It is like in the demo were there is a category for memory and say instead of using the option to allow the user to pick 2 sticks I want to force it to be 2.  But in another build I want it to be 4 sticks of the same memory.

I hope this is not confusing.
