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 create suitable Select compositions.

You can group individual articles and select the customer from these groups select one or more articles. Each group can choose a mandatory Articles include. If this group has a mandatory field, then at least an article must be selected - otherwise the configuration cannot be can be put into the shopping cart.

You have several possibilities to decide the appearance of the group - you have the choice between a simple list or a slider. For simplification and for a better look you can use a graphical Show check mark when an item is selected.

Position

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

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, the a modal window in which you have to select the desired variant All Texts, prices, pictures etc. will be adjusted according to the actual choice.

Prices

The price of the configuration is calculated live in the shop when selecting the items and updated. If desired, it can be determined whether the father article is also to be calculated or is free of charge - and whether a discount is granted on the total amount should be granted (e.g. 10%). In this way you give a further incentive to buy all Articles to be sold 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. You can also per group, you can choose whether the included articles should be free and whether the prices should be displayed in the configurator at all.

Prices - Note

Please note, however, that you cannot use "fancy" pricing rules ("extended prices") for select individual components. For example, if you select prices from the current shopping cart dependent, then the price of the configurator can change as soon as this is in the shopping cart.

Relative prices

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

Quantity

You are free to choose the number of articles in a group. You can either create a Specify a fixed number of pieces that cannot be changed - or leave the customer free to do so select. Depending on the plugin configuration, the sales hook or the stock is taken into account.

Pre-selection

You can define which articles are to be preselected in which group. This way you can define several compilations in advance - e.g. a low-priced and a high-priced composition. 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 most favourable price of all possible combinations (e.g. "from 35.99 EUR") or the price the preselection (e.g. "199.50 EUR").

Saving and loading

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 owner. You can also create individual configurations for your customers and send them via link.

Order process

In the plugin configuration you can choose how a configured article is to be displayed in the shopping cart should be listed. So the configured article can either stand alone in the shopping cart or below all individual components are listed. In addition, you can also choose in the second variant whether the unit prices of the components are to be displayed or not. During order completion the entire configuration is divided into the individual elements. You can access all lists, in all statistics etc. all articles are considered individually. The parent article has the value of the entire configuration and all selected Articles are deposited with 0,- EUR.

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) educated. The parent article is a standard shopware article that can be maintained in the administration The plugin has its own menu item that allows you to create configurations. Here you may define e.g. that a configuration consists of "CPU", "Graphics card", "Graphics card", "Graphics and "accessories". You then assign this configuration to the parent article in the additional fields. The actual articles, the defined groups, determine you via dynamic product groups. You can therefore use the complete flexibility of use these dynamic product groups (e.g. all green articles from 100,- EUR). Frequently used groups can appear in several configurations and can can be easily adapted or are automatically extended, if new articles are meet the desired criteria.
