Multiple choice product builder

    We are photographers. We take a dozen or so photos of each senior athlete that they can select from for their senior banner. But instead of just allowing them to buy their banner, I want to offer multiple products. For example, banner, fathead, yard sign and/or blanket. So the customer would look at an image (product) but then be able to select 1 or more things to do with it.

    I currently have things set up using the normal variations functionality. But having to build every possible combination of items that would appear in a dropdown isn’t very user-friendly.

    I’m looking for suggestions on a plugin that would do this type of multiple choice functionality.

    Hi @edmartin123

    instead of just allowing them to buy their banner, I want to offer multiple products

    Setting up Grouped Products could be a good solution in this case. Grouped products are perfect for letting a customer add several products from a range to their cart in one go.

    Here is an example of a grouped product:

    For Product Data you’ll need to select Grouped product. You can read more here about setting it up: https://woocommerce.com/document/group-bundle-products-woocommerce/#section-11

    I hope this helps!

    Thanks, Margaret! I’ve tested it and it seems like a great direction. But I’ve hit a bit of a wall. Maybe I’m just implementing it wrong? I created 3 test Simple products – they are “banner”, “fathead” and “yard sign”. Those are the 3 offerings I want to have for every image (at least in my test). Then I created a Group with those 3 Simple products in it. The Group is my main image. Then those 3 Simple products within the group are the options. The problem I’m having is that when I create an order, I get the list of the 3 generic Simple products but I don’t get any data on the Group – like the SKU. I need to be able to get something back from the Group so I know what image they are talking about. I have the image file name set up as the SKU.

    Hi @edmartin123! Thanks for sharing more details!

    Just to clarify it a bit, the Grouped products option is a great way to indirectly market related or similar products to your customers, reminding them that they could buy them in a set if they want or individually.

    You can associate with this grouped product an SKU, name, etc, and also when you check the order, you can see the products and other details specifying the purchase.

    You’ll need to create a group of products for each set of products that you want to.

    For example, let’s imagine that you’re selling car parts, you can show the whole car on the main product page but also list the parts individually, so customers can choose to buy the car or some parts separately.

    In this scenario, you’ll need to create a group for each car that you’re selling, even if they use the same part like the same exhaust or tire/wheel!

    I hope that helps, but if not, just let us know your questions, and we’ll be here to help you out!

    My very best,
