Cross-selling bug

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

   Hi Matt,

I came across your posting as I was searching for why a cross-selling "bundle" link in my store isn't working.  So if I understand you correctly, if the bundled item requires a option it won't show up in the store?

This is a pretty strong limitation for us at YourBagTag.comYourBagTag.com.  Our entire store is "personalized" items.  Each item requires the option of Name, thread color, etc.

I wanted to bundle a BC Tag and a SCUBA airtank tag, offer a $5 discount on the purchase of both.  Any suggest work around on this?

	The cross-selling features will allow you to create the bundle and discount. The shopping cart can handle adding several items to the cart at one time. However, during a "multiple add-to-cart" it does not currently process options. That is why the bundled item will not show if the options are required. This would be a fairly large project. It would involve the following: 1.) Modify viewPrdCode.asp so that option and bundles are always displayed. 2.) Modify InstPrd.asp to accept multiple parameters from bundles. Both steps above are generalized and actually would be comprised of several smaller steps. Hopefully, that is enough to provide an idea of what would be required. This is not something that will be included in the next update. It is a nice idea though and I have added it to our "Wish List". In the meantime, an option is to hire an asp programmer to perform the tasks.
