You can group products in categories (a product could be in several categories). And you can set discounts on categories with special rules.

I created each of the 12 coffee products (dark roasted whole beans, dark roasted grounded, espresso roasted whole beans, etc.) priced per pound with 5lbs minimum and 25lbs maximum for each. The deal is that for this series of products, customers can choose up to 5 types from the 12 (5lbs minimum per type and maximum, 25lbs) I'm having a problem though. Whenever I add 1 coffee type (5lbs) and then try to add a second coffee type, the shopping cart says "Undefined" and then it reverts back to the first type added. Any idea what could be causing this and how to fix it? Thanks again. I truly appreciate your help.

I used "Limit" on the category to limit it to 25lbs. But I didn't add any dates to it. You think that could be the cause?

It seems that I just needed to change the "Type" from "Weight" to "Quantity". It this there should be a definitive way to set "weight" as the unit for the products. HikaShop seems to be guessing what unit to to use. Thanks for your help again. You've been a great help.
