Downloadable and Mailable Item

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

   I sell audio CDs and audio MP3s. Is there a way, using Product Options, to give the customer both options? Using the downloadable option, it looks like I have to create the MP3 as the primary item, and then add a secondary option to purchase the CD. Is anyone doing anything different?

Thanks,

Lucy Zoe

	Hi Zoe, Do you want to sell CD's as a backup to the download? - OR - As a separate SKU? I suspect cross selling / product bundles will meet your needs. http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/productcart/marketing-cross_selling#product_bundles HTH Hamish

	Hamish, I want to sell CDs as well as allow customer to purchase the same item as an MP3 - a downloadable item. Same exact product, just delivered using two different methods. Neither cross-selling or product bundles meet our need. I was hoping to create one sku and have two different options available for purchase. So when a customer sees an audio product called, "How to tie your shoes," they can either order the audio CD set and it will be mailed, or they can download it for a lesser price. Thanks for trying.

	Hi, I would use separate SKU's as a matter of course as, although it's the same music, they are separate products. One is a physical CD, held in stock (or perhaps created on demand I guess), with stock level's weight, shipping costs and the other is an MP3, with none of the same attributes. Whatever works OK for you is fine though :-)

	Hey Hamish, Thanks for your response. I was hoping to use a product option, but can't get that to work. It looks like two SKU's will have to do. -lz
