Currently if you have individual products or product categories populating a component, only a single product per component can be selected. To select more than one per component you have to make product bundles, this creates a myriad of problems;

- You are unable to sort products via their attributes making it hard to navigate
- You can not put a bundled product inside of a bundle meaning that if you have a lot of customization's / product inputs you'll end up with a ton of components and a very large page, the same goes for grouped products
- If you have the component pre-selected it shows up in the customers cart even if you have not selected any products in the bundle
- The customer is unable to edit bundles or products in bundles in the cart

We operate a fairly successful custom gift basket business and just switched to composite products to get away from gravity forms. It has a toe of features we love but these few little things are holding it back from being great.

Thanks in advance

Can you tell me if there is any plans to allow a selection in a category option for scenarios, so what i means is instead of having to select all the products i want in the selection is, i just want to select a category, (so selection is in..) this would allow much better and easier control of scenario as i could just make categories and add new products to the categories so i dont have to update all the scenarios when products change and new options arrive.
If not how can i get it done as it is just too time consuming to make the scenarios i want.

Please add a check box to each sub component of a composite product to allow it to NOT scale with the main product quantity.

Right now the composite product assumes that the additional products are needed for EVERY base product... For instance you need that chosen logo on EVERY shirt you ordered.

However, if you are selling a customizable product this may not be the case. For instance, let's pretend I am selling the service of repainting an entire room. My customer would sort through hundreds of color options, make a choice of Hot Pink and select 100square feet of painting...

The composite product option would then ask them to select 1 of 20 baseboard options of which they would need a quantity of 30 lineal feet.

Add one door, plus 2 windows... etc..

Unfortunately, the composite product will assume that the 30 feet, 1 door and 2 windows are needed for EACH sq.ft of paint and add 3000ft of baseboard, 100 doors, and 200 windows...

I could get around this by creating a SKU call "custom room" and the first product would be paint. However, in my real life case my customer are selecting from over a thousand potential options, which is far too complex to add as a subcomponent of a "custom room" SKU.

I would like my customer after sorting and filtering many attributes and categories to simply select their choice and then have the option to configure their custom product.

By adding a checkbox for each sub item in the composite product to disable quantity scaling, you could do extremely powerful custom configurations of products. The add-in is soooo close to being perfect for this. Please add if possible.

Thank you!

It would be great if the custimer can just add the quantity for the composed products that they want. My composite products have around 50 composed products in it and my customers have to go trhough every and each one even the ones they dont want and check Clear All. Its very incovenient cause from 50 composed products they usually get 5 to 10 only and they have to clear the ones they dont want one by one. It would be a great idea to be able to set the minimum quantity to 0 for each composed product so the quantity 1 wouldnt be the minimum allowed and the customer wouldnt have to Clear the ones they dont want one by one.

1 thing that is frustrating in my eyes, is the limited way of adding products to a component. I understand the search for products or category. But a thing that I like to see is, adding a option in a textfield with a price. So that not every option has to be added as a simple product.

I also want this, because it can help when you have the same simple product as a component for more then 50 products. But for every product the simple component have a other price. A text-field for the price can be helpful in that case. I hope this is a clear explanation.

Most of the composite product data is available when doing an export of products so you can easily re-map for import, however not all composite product data is available to map for import or export such as the Form Location Field. But default the composite products / accessories form appears directly underneath the meta area, but there is an option to change this and show it further down the page "after summary". Would be ideal if you could import this information to avoid manually editing 100+ products after importing them.

This is the field in the product editing page in the admin under Product Data -> Advanced -> Form location.

Whats the point of having this field to edit if it can't be editable via a mass product import?

The idea is to be able to make components which are no products. These "pseudo" components would be used to develop certain scenarios.
My example: a bike building composite product. The customer first chooses between gate 'bike' or gate 'frame' and then is led through two different scenarios following his/her choice. the customer will then build their product from the following components while the "pseudo"-products 'bike' and 'frame' were just there to further specify their decision making.

This might be possible to be selected inside "Components Options" as "Make Deciders". And then you can put in the amount of deciders and a related featured image.

When usingComposite products, you need to create scenarios to match the compatible parts but when there are a dozen of components each with hundreds of attributes this function is almost impractical.

Instead, we should have the option to match the products based on assigned attributes and attribute items.

For example:

I have the following products:

Product A - assigned attributes : A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8 ,A9

product B - assigned attributes: A5, A7, B1, B2, B3, B4

product C - assigned attributes: A6, A9, B4, C1, C2, C3, C4

product D - assigned attributes: A2, B3, C1, c2, D1, D2, D3

Now, considering he small number of product but huge number of attributes, it is impractical to create scenario for each product and assign other products to it. Therefore, it's best to add new feature to create scenarios based on attributes.

Example: furniture store selling pieces individually, but some are sold as individual parts of matching sets. There is no "minimum" or "maximum" quantity for each individual unit.

Customer #1 is interested in "Alfa" furniture set, which includes Sofa, Ottoman & Loveseat. He should be able to order 5 Sofas, 2 Ottomans and 0 Loveseats without ever leaving the Summary screen.

As a seller, I'd like the option to choose whether my customer clicks into each individual product to modify its quantity, or whether that can be done from summary screen.

If the customer wants to change the color or material of the Alfa furniture set, they can click into each component. But just to increase or decrease the number of each component, it helps sales if it is intuitive and doesn't require clicking through multiple places.
