Problem with composite products

  • Hi,

    I’m having problems with composite products: they are not counted as one article, even if I create a composite product consisting of two virtual products.

    As far as I understand it they should be handled as one article for shipping by default because there’s a box to activate “Per-Item shipping” (by default this is disabled).

    Is there a way to create rules for composite products (as one article)?

    Thanks!

    Dear Stefan,
    When you speak of composite products, how are you creating them? I suppose you are using the WooCommers Composite Products extension (https://www.woothemes.com/products/composite-products/)? Unfortunately, we don’t have access to that plugin, so I have no idea how composite products work internally.

    Sorry,
    Reinhold

    I’m having problems with composite product(https://woocommerce.com/products/product-bundles/).it count the composite product (formed by two), I consider it as individual products. And when making the calculation puts me 3 items instead of 1.

    Dear Conectart,
    Our plugin currently simply counts the number of products. Apparently, the product-bundles plugin adds one “wrapper” product and both contained products to the cart.

    Unfortunately, we don’t have access to that extension (and WooCommerce does not have any developer program, so they won’t give other developers access to the plugins for development purposes).

    Is there any way to distinguish the wrapper product and/or the contained products? E.g. if the wrapper (bundle) product always belongs to a certain category, then you can calculate the numer of articles (in the advanced version) by subtracting the articles from the bundles category from the total article count:
    `
    Variable=ArticlesSansBundles; Value=Articles – evaluate_for_categories(Articles, “bundleCategory”)
    `
    This defines a custom variable “ArticlesSansBundles”, where the product bundle is not counted as an article. For other situations, one can typically find similar workarounds.

    However, in general, our plugin is not tailored to work with the product-bundles plugin right out of the box.

    Best regards,
    Reinhold

    Hey folks,

    I need some help in getting the initial setup to get started in Composite Products Plugin, can I hire someone to help or can anyone refer me to a developer that can?

    Dear Ryepoint,
    Do you need help getting Composite Products set up for your needs (then this is the wrong thread, as it is the help forum of our Shipping by Rules plugin), or do you need help setting up our shipping by rules plugin in combination with composite products. If it is the latter, which particular shipping cost structure are you trying to implement?

    Best regards,
    Reinhold
