I need to make a create your own oil mix experience. I want customers to be able to select different quantities of various oils until they fill the bottle. So for example 1/4 oz of eucalyptus oil + 1 oz of mint oil + 3/4 oz of lavender oil. I need the options to "count" for different amounts so adding 1/4 oz to the total doesn't count as a whole "product" but 1 oz does.
I also want to group the options by oil type. Can this plugin achieve this? attached picture for example of what I'm trying to do.
Thanks for your interest in our plugin. We have had a short vacation so today I am able to reach back to you.
From your description and image, if you would like to use decimal quantities on Smart Bundles, you might need to combine it with another plugin from us called WPC Product Quantity.
However, our plugin cannot display such a layout as shown in your screenshots. You can use the table list layout as in our tutorial video: https://doc.wpclever.net/woosb/
That is great information, thank you Janilyn. Two more things I need to know, can I set the exact number of items the customer must have in the bundle? And can I display custom attributes for products during the selection process?
1. You can set up the min/max for each bundled item or the whole bundle after enabling the Custom quantity option. You can refer to this in the online documentation.
2. Yes, custom attributes can be displayed in Smart Bundles. However, kindly note that you should configure a specific variation for your attributes. Using variations that contain "Any..." would make it impossible to add a bundle to the cart since the value of the attributes for that item is empty. You should clarify the terms and variations for custom attributes.
I don't mean showing custom attributes for variable products, just simple ones. For example my oils have a species name and I want that to be displayed. How do I do that? I don't want to have the dropdowns because there is nothing for the customer to select. I just want to display the attribute values.
In that case, you can kindly check out this plugin WPC Linked Variation, which allows users to display custom attributes for any product types and link items together in a swatches display.
WPC Product Bundles only display the attributes of variable products. You will need to install an external plugin for that in simple products or use the Linked Variations.

Hi Shelly,

You can learn more about how to combine these 2 plugins in order to offer bundles with bundled items in decimal units here: https://doc.wpclever.net/woosb/wpc-plugins-wpc-product-bundles/wpc-product-quantity-for-woocommerce/.

Hi Shelly,

You should clarify the terms and variations for custom attributes.
You can also display them using the swatches after specifying the terms. Read more here: https://doc.wpclever.net/woosb/wpc-plugins-wpc-product-bundles/wpc-variation-swatches-for-woocommerce/
