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 -

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.
