Main product as component of composite?
Closed

    Is it possible to display the main product as a component of the composite? The goal is to have the cart display the individual price of the base component in addition to the added component products.  Currently the price of the base product changes as components are added and this causes some confusion. 

    I believe I understand that the best way to achieve this would be to create a new composite product that would include the base product, however that would require an entirely new list of SKU's.

    I would like the customer to see the price of each component that they will be purchasing.

    Hi Brandon,

    May I have a link to your published composite product for checking the frontend?

    I'm not sure if I get your question. Our plugin displays the prices of component products as normal on the composite page, cart and checkout pages as well. It should work that way.

    If possible, could you please clarify with some images?

    Best regards.

    In this example the base price of the main component is $168.99.  As components are added this number changes (I understand that is the correct function of the plugin).

    I would like the main component to be listed at the top of the components as a required item (non-selectable).  This would then display in the cart so the customer knows they will be paying $168.99 for the base product, as well as the other components added.

    If I were to do it according to my current understanding of the plugin I would need to create an additional SKU or product that would include my current base product as a component.  As I have over 400 SKU's currently, this would be time consuming.

    Hi Brandon,

    I've got your question now.

    I have sent your request to one of our developers. He will see if there is a way to insert custom codes and change the price of the main composite to the base price, then adds the prices of component products. 

    Our developer will respond to you as soon as being able to support. It might take up to 24-48 hours under our current heavy workloads. 

    Best regards.

    Hi Brandon,

    I'm so sorry for the late reply!

    As per your requirement, "I would like the main component to be listed at the top of the components as a required item (non-selectable).  This would then display in the cart so the customer knows they will be paying $168.99 for the base product, as well as the other components added.", 

    Please add a required component with only one product https://www.screencast.com/t/3C9KfyGiV and the result https://www.screencast.com/t/UCyuIKnshL. The buyer can't change the base product and also this product's price will be used as the "base price" of the composite.

    If it still doesn't meet your requirements, let me know and I'll find another solution for you.

    Best regards,
    Dustin

    Arrrrr sorry! I understand your requirementsmile.png

    If you want to show the main product as the first component, the result will be like that https://www.screencast.com/t/IpMJvsFJa and I think it still causes confusion for your customers.

    In this case, a message at the top of the components is useful. For example https://www.screencast.com/t/jbYwkd8kXC. This is a dynamic message https://www.screencast.com/t/AJl2GK60sWGJ that uses another free plugin from us https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpc-smart-messages/. You also can style for this message https://www.screencast.com/t/M0EouQSxu

    Best regards,
    Dustin
