Hi Carolina,

For your problem could you not just use “Custom Options” on a simple product.

So your custom options would be Top (S,M,L) and Bottom (S,M,L) with prices added also.

I do similar and use an import profile to import everything from an excel spreadsheet – it’s a massive time saver.

I sell swimsuits (separates) and in order to be able to sell them separate we are having to create simple products per top and per bottom sizes (also per reference as they all have different sku numbers). Then, we create a group product and associate each of the simple products with either TOP or BOTTOM (that’s how the simple product has to be named at first so it is identified correctly – if it goes under top or bottom). Even though this system works it is tedious and takes long time just to add one suit with different top/bottom options, like this one(we had to create 12 different simple products in order to achieve this):

I’ve been reading some, and it seems there is an easier way to do so using configurable products..But I still can’t figure it out as we need separate price for top and bottom as they show it on this page (this is exactly what we need):

http://www.mollybrownsswimwear.com/swimwear/vitamin-a-gold/le-chic-top-bottom-24k.html

as you can see all we need to define is price for top and price for bottom and then client picks the size from the drop-down…
What do you think is the best way to achieve this??? Can you please please help me out??

Thank you!!!!

What is the best way to register bottles of wine, provideded that they can be marketed either unitized (6-bottle unit) or individually? Would it be a grouped product or configurable product or …? Is there a way of configuring this to use the same inventory?

I’m not sure if you’re responding to my post or the original blog entry. I’ve configured this for a couple clients, and both work without issue. Potentially I was a little vague in the article, but the steps only list out how to allow the association. Once its “allowed”, you still have to modify the template files to render the options.

Product configuration for store clothes B2B. Product configurable, grouped or…?

I`m configurating a Magento for a store of wholesale clothes what want to manage to is to configure a product, for example an T-Shirt that comes in some colors and sizes.
And that the user can buy several products with options of colors, sizes and quantities in a same page of product.
For example

In page of T-Shirt SURF
Options that user buy
yellow Color / Size XXL / Qty 20
red Color / Figure XXL / 20
red Color / Figure XL / 20
red Color / Figure S / 15
green Color / Figure XL / 10
green Color / Figure S / 5
blue Color / Figure L / 5
blue Color / Figure XL / 5
blue Color / Figure XXL / 25
Its possible? How are this product setting?
There is some way to achieve it without having that to give of high each product configuring a color and size and then to do a group of products so that the user have all the options? This way carries a lot of time for setting.

Any extension available?

thanks!

Hi Brim,

Great extension by the way.
My question though might be a little related but does your extension allow quantity input for custom option inventory purpose?

Hi Brim,
Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately I already selected that, and it doesn’t work.

I installed the extension Netzarbeiter_Groupscatalog, perhaps there is a conflict between the two, I’ll ask.

Coer,

You just need to change the visibility on your simple products from “Catalog, Search” to “Not Visible Individually”. That will prevent simple products from displaying in the catalog and the search.

Hi,
I created grouped products, and I associated simple products to it.

Now both the grouped products AND the simple products show up in the product listing. That defeats the purpose of grouping products (at least in my objectives it does).

I would like just the grouped products to show up. How do I accomplish this?

Your help would be much appreciated!

Regards,
Coer

We recently wrote an extension that allows required custom options for grouped products. http://ecommerce.brimllc.com/grouped-options.html

Hello,

I created simple products in Magento a while ago that now need to be grouped. I can’t seem to change their Type from Simple to Grouped. Can anyone explain to me in detail how to do this? I have already gone through the tutorial on Grouped products in Magento but there is no reference to this needed change. I don’t want to have to recreate the products again just to make them Grouped. It would be simpler just to change their Type. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

Great site for tips. I use the group products to sell boat rides. Just like your knife example, except instead of sizes I have adult, senior, child, etc. Works fine except for one big issue, we have a fixed stock of 40 seats for passengers. Is there a way to have all the choices in the cart pull from the same inventory of 40?

Cheers, Alex

ohhh, I missed this, now those old required attributes like color and size aren't required. So somebody could order just a default item with no attributes. Where is the middle ground. I have 3 products that have color and size custom options and I am trying to combined all three into a kit. The kits item qty. are fixed and the price is cheaper, hence buying them all together. And my main concern is making sure I maintain a proper stock count. I appreciate all your input, time and
