Showing individual items in a package

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi There
I'm a consultant working on a new website for a greeting card company. I will not be doing the design/development but need to know if PC can show individual items within a product package. We'll be selling card assortments and users will need to be able to view the individual cards/verbage included in the package - not just thumbs. For an example of this functionality see:  http://www.leanintree.com/shopping/ImagePopup.asp?id=90212&a mp;c=AST&p=BAST&page=1 and then click on the "view cards in assortment" link on the right side. 
We don't need to have the images in a new window. I'm just wondering if we can do it, and, if so, how. 
Thanks in advance for your help.

	Product Cart doesn't have that exact functionality built in that allows scrolling through pics with content for each pic. However, it does allow you to upload multiple product images which are displayed below the main image on the product detail page. The user can mouse over any image to see a larger image above the list of images. They can also click an image to see the full size image. If your full size image contains the text on the card, that would work well.

	The route from NetProfits above is good. Another route in V3 would be to create a product bundle wkth an image and description for each and to set it so you can only buy the bundle rather than the individual products. cheers mark

	Great. Thanks for the quick replies. It sounds like either method will work, though Mark's suggestion to create a product bundle from the individual cards sounds like it will provide the most effective solution. This is an awesome forum, and I am so glad we're going with Product Cart! Thanks ed
