    Hey all.

    I been playing around with the Grouped and Variable Products today. Watching tutorials and so on. But I’m really having trouble figuring finding the right solution for my shop.

    Im selling graphic prints/posters and matching frames.
    So i want the possibility on each product page to choose size of the poster and the possibility (but not mandatory) to add a frame (different colours) to the purchase.

    Anyone who can point me in the right direction here?

    Cheers

    OK. The only way I can think of dossent seem to work.

    I tried to Groupe the two variabled products. But it seems its just possible to group simple products and not variable products 🙁

    Any other suggestions is much appreciated.

    Seems like Linked products > Cross-Sells is the only way to go.

    What you describe is a variable product. It will have two attributes: size and frame. The frame attribute can include the no-frame option.

    At product page, Product Data section, set product type to variable.
    Set first attribute: Size: A1 | A2 | A3
    Set second attribute: Frame : Wood | PVC | None
    Save attributes
    The click “Link All Variations” to make all the variations.
    Next, go through the variations and price each one.

    YES lorro!!

    Tanks allot. Actually thats what I tried to do, but i made some mistake that when shoo choosing the option no-frame it made the price 0 inc the print. But now it works.

    Again thanks allot for your help 😉

    Only “issue” I see now is that my frames (that I also sell as a product separately from the posters) will not “work” with my SKU/Stocks as they are not “represented” as the product together with the posters. But just as an Attribites.

    To manage stock I think you’d have to use a group of simple products. This could appear complicated for the customer, and there is no safeguard against a customer buying more than one frame per poster. If all the poster sizes and frame sizes were in one group it gets worse because the customer needs to choose the right size frame for the poster they have picked. I can’t see how you could charge different prices for a frame supplied on its own and a frame supplied fitted to a poster, although for inventory purposes they are the same. On balance the variable product method looks easier for the customer to use.

    Yes. Guess ill just have to live without the stock/SKU future and keep my own stock system offline 😉

    Thanks for you help
