appear approaches build button cart com complicated configuration configure control create download downloads extra files goods individual issue issues links list nor option options ordering package point price product products provided purposes sale sales select sell selling separate separately setting special stock systems tangible

i am new to e-junkie. i need for the shopper to be able to build or configure systems, much like you would at dell.com. is it possible to do something like that with e-junkie, and if so, what would be the best way?

thanks!

Hm, I suppose you could simply set up each component/option as a separate product with its own Add to Cart button, so they would add a base CPU first, then Add to Cart whatever extra options they want? That would be the simplest approach; other approaches I can think of may be possible but more complicated and/or expensive.

when looking at the product configuration there is an option for "package files from other products, affect their inventory". how does this option work?

thanks

That setting has two purposes:

It can be used to issue a batch of download links for files that you have already provided for other products (e.g., to sell a full-album product that issues links for individual-track files that are already being sold separately). You would enable that setting, then a list will appear where you can select the other products whose files should be issued for the package product.

It can also be used to "bundle" tangible goods together in a "package deal", where you are using Inventory Control for the individual products and want sales of the bundle/package product to affect the inventory counts for those individual products as well. You would enable that setting, then a list will appear where you can select the other products whose inventory stock should be affected for each sale of the package product.

If you're not selling downloads nor using Inventory Control, then you can create package-deal products without using that or any other special setting. Each product you create consists of whatever you understand it to be. E.g., if you're selling Product A and Product B separately, you can create a Product C at some special price point that you understand to be the same as ordering A and B together at that price.
