Group products by … (a characteristic)?

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6
-- PHP version -- : 5.3

This is actually a few pre-sales questions, tho I have used the product 4 years ago. Very impressive how it's grown and developed.

My client has 8000 products (i.e. parts) that belong in assorted tool kits (i.e. tools with parts)

How can I put products into a tool kit? Not a category … would I use a characteristic? or something else?

What feature of HikaShop would allow me to group various products to each other across various categories?

Then, ideally display a tool kit much like a single product, i.e. a tool plus a list of products that make up a kit.

Finally is it possible to add a tool kit to the Invoice Manager quoting feature?

Thx in advance!

Hi,

I think that what you are looking for is the options:
hikashop.com/support/support/documentati...ct-form.html#options

And potentially options with variants.
You can see a demo of a toolkit on our demo website: demo.hikashop.com

What do you mean by invoice manager quoting feature ?
Create an order via the backend and add a toolkit product ? If it is, the options can't be selected through this manager.

Close, but I think really just need a way to group products.

E.g. many times you will see a "Combination Product"
They sell you the book, the book on tap and a book light all for $xx.xx.
However in my case we want to group perhaps 12-20 products in such a way.

Does that exist for HIkaShop?

Re: the quote question. I was talking about the Invoice Manager, it has a quote option.

So, then I'm wanting to add the "Combination Product" to a quote.

This seems odd to me. Clearly you can group products within a category, correct? -- so that's a grouping option.

Can I product be put in multiple categories?
If so this could be an alternate way to do it ...

True for most shopping carts the Combination product method is an add-on.
This would seem like a great addition for HikaShop.

Also, on Amazon, you see buy product A and B together for $xx and save $y.
