Article configurator for selectable sets and bundles

Article configurator for selectable sets and bundles

Create your own configurations for sets and bundles with this plugin. Your customer can then configure these sets and bundles himself and choose suitable combinations.

Example: http://dvsn-configurator.digitvision.de/artikel-konfigurator-pc-muesli-etc/1/konfigurator-artikel

You can group individual articles and let the customer choose one or more articles from these groups. Each group can contain one mandatory article. If this group has a mandatory field, then at least one article must be selected - otherwise the configuration cannot be placed in the shopping cart. In addition, you can define whether all groups should be expandable or collapsible. If this option is active, then only one group is visible at a time and all others are minimized. This increases the overview for larger configurators.

You have several options to decide the look of the group - you can choose between a simple list, a slider or a gallery. The view of the gallery is similar to the view of a slider (large picture, name and price). In the gallery, however, all items are directly visible below each other. To make things easier, you can also hide the input fields in the slider and in the gallery and display a graphical check mark when an item is selected.

Position

You can display the configurator either in the "buy-box" on the right side ("between price and shopping cart button") or below the article images in full width. Please note that there is little space in the right column and that the configurator should be kept rather slim in this look.

Inactive articles

You can even decide whether inactive items should be displayed and selectable in the groups. For example, you can create pseudo-articles that are not visible in the shop, but which can be selected in the configurator. Conceivable would be articles like "incl. assembly" for 99,- EUR or a selection of colors with corresponding pictures. Since these articles should not be visible in the shop and should not be purchased, these articles can simply be deactivated. With the appropriate option, your customer can still select these items in the configurator.

variants

The configurator supports the selection of variants. When opening the configurator, the main variant is always displayed and as soon as this is selected, a modal window opens in which the desired variant must be selected. All texts, prices, pictures etc. are adjusted according to the actual choice.

Pricing

The price of the configuration is calculated and updated live in the shop when the articles are selected. If desired, it can be determined whether the parent article should also be calculated or is free of charge - and whether a discount should be granted on the total amount (e.g. 10%). Thus you give a further incentive to sell all articles together in one configuration. All article prices are of course based on the stored price scales. Depending on how often the configuration is in the shopping cart or how many pieces of an article are part of the configuration, the "from-to" prices are used. In addition, you can choose per group whether the contained articles should be free of charge and whether the prices should be displayed in the configurator at all.

Relative prices

You can activate the option "relative prices" per group. This changes the display of the prices of the individual items so that the absolute price of the item is no longer displayed, but always the difference to the currently selected item. If you have not activated the option of multiple selection and have selected an item with 100,- EUR, then all other prices of the group will be displayed relative to this selected item (i.e. the difference). That means: an article that costs 20,- EUR is displayed as "- 80,- EUR" - and an article that costs 150,- EUR is displayed as "+ 50,- EUR".

Number of pieces

You are free to choose the number of articles in a group. You can either specify a fixed number of items that cannot be changed - or leave the customer free to choose. Depending on the plugin configuration, the sales hook or the stock is considered.

Preselection

You can define which articles are to be preselected in which group. In this way you can define several compilations in advance - for example a low-priced and a high-priced compilation. Your customers can then use this as a basis for further configuration. You can also choose which price should be displayed in the listing - either the lowest price of all possible combinations (e.g. "from 35.99") or the price of the preselection (e.g. "199.50").

Sets

For each group, you can determine whether the articles within this group should be put together as a "set". A set corresponds to a composition "Choose x articles" - e.g. "Choose 3 articles of this group". So the customer cannot choose as many articles of this group as he wants, but has to make a choice of x articles. You can define how many of x items should be selected. So the customer can either optionally choose up to x articles (0 to x pieces), at least one article but maximum x pieces (1 to x pieces) or must choose exactly x articles (x pieces).

Input fields

You can define per article and/or per group whether an (optional) input field should be displayed for an article. In this way, your customer can / must provide additional information when selecting an article. The possibilities are endless here...

Save and load

Your customer can save any configuration and load it at a later time. For example, he can send a configuration to friends or to the shop operator. You can also create individual configurations for your customers yourself and send them via link.

Order process

The configured article ends up as a single item in the shopping cart. There the selected articles are listed together again. The customer can reopen this configuration at any time and further / reconfigure it. When the order is completed, the entire configuration is divided into the individual elements. This way you have all the articles individually on all lists, in all statistics etc. The parent article has the value of the entire configuration and all selected articles are deposited with 0,- Euro.

Creating configurators

A configuration is always created using a parent article (e.g. "My PC configuration") and any number of associated groups of articles (e.g. "CPU", "Graphics cards", "Accessories" etc). The parent article is a standard shopware article that has to be maintained in the backend. Groups are defined via the Shopware product streams. So you can create groups according to different criteria and assign them to any number of parent articles - you can use the complete flexibility of product streams. Frequently used groups can appear in several configurations and can be easily adjusted or automatically extended if new articles meet the desired criteria.
