Custom Order Form With Several Fields

[boilermaker73]

Using the latest version of ShopSite Starter, I am curious to know if there's a way to add a product based upon variable price as follows: The product essentially consists of several pieces whereby the customer fills in several form fields to select and determine the quantity of each piece that makes up the product. In doing so, I have a read only field that automatically calculates and adjusts the total price based upon the customer's selections on the form. In essence, when all is said and done, the shopping cart would contain the end product specifying the name, description and total price. For those who are familiar, this is very similar to 'Build a Bear' whereby the child or person makes all the selections to determine the final product wherein the price is then determined by adding the cost of all the individual pieces. In brief, I would definitely prefer this method as opposed to my having to add each or like pieces priced individually to the cart. Can this be done?

ShopSite Starter level does not include anything that would allow you to change the price based on options that are selected. ShopSite Manager and Pro levels do have the Order option pricing which allows you to vary the price based on the options that are selected. The Pro level also has advanced order options to allow you to change the shipping weight, keep track of inventory on an option level and to only display options to the shopper that can be used together and which are currently in stock. (Note this feature was added in ShopSite 10sp2 so you would need to have the latest version to be able to use the advanced order options.)

I should have added a link to the features available in each ShopSite product level, Pro, Manager and Starter. See http://shopsite.com/scchecklist.html

Thank you but I probably should have been more explicit in my previous post. Due to certain features lacking in ShopSite Starter, i.e., limited number of products, I do realize and plan to purchase either ShopSite Manager or Pro. That said, I did find my answer in a previous post related to creating a multi-product add to cart button for adding several items to the shopping cart in just one click.
