Purchase Option Dropdowns

Post by natez311 »

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to first say thanks for all the help in the past for answering my previous questions. You guys rock!

My Situation:

The product I am working with is sold at different quantities. For example:

Item - Cigar Brand X
Ordering Options:
1 cigar
5 cigar pack
10 box of cigar
20 box of cigar

Each option is a different price and different weight (for shipping purchases). I am trying to figure out whether or not to create a sub-product pull down menu or use an option pull down menu.

My only issue with an option pull-down is that the shipping price will not be affected after adding the chosen option to cart.

Example of product to get a picture: http://etcigar.com/store/product1.html

Any suggestions? I would definitely like to try to avoid adding sub-products if possible.

Thanks in advance!

-Nate

The order option pricing will not take into account weight. So you will need to create these options as individual products which can have different weights and then assign them as subproducts to another product. If you search through the forum there are several threads dealing with displaying subproducts in a pulldown list as if they were orderoptions.
