Product options

Hello community, I'm new here and looking forward to using PC for my project! Quick question about the apparel add-on:

Is it possible to create a sub-product with 2 different product options, but have one of the product options not be part of the sub-products? For instance, one of my product options on most product pages will have attributes that are collecting data from the customer via a drop-down box, like a shipping interval:

weekly
bi-weekly
monthly

The other product option will have attributes related to weight

5 lbs
10 lbs
15 lbs

Seeing that the shipping interval product option will not require it's own stock levels, pricing changes, weight changes, rewards points, etc, I do not need the sub-products to include the shipping interval product option. In the above example I would only require 3 sub-products as opposed to 6.

I would need to keep track of the product options related to weight, since they are indeed unique products requiring different stock levels, sku's, weights, etc, but not the shipping interval as it's only capturing an option that does not make a product unique.

Any thoughts?

Any suggestions?

Hi Dan,

You could use a custom input field, but there is no way to turn it dynamically into a drop-down from the ProductCart Control Panel. You would have to customize the code:

- detect the product
- detect the custom input field
- replace code with drop-down
