Product Kits Description
"Product Groups" is the term for how AmeriCommerce handles a parent product that has children products underneath it. This has many advanced uses that almost no other cart software has off the shelf alongside the other product features already there.
A kit of products sold as one like a bed with a dresser and two nightstands. Some items are optional, some may be required. Special group pricing may apply. The dresser and nightstands can be bought seperately as well.
Benefits of Kits:
- Full inventory tracked for each parent and children seperately
- Totally seperate item numbers and tracking for each item in the group
- Totally seperate pricing & pricing rules for each item in the group, even totally seperate quantity breaks and more.
- Totally seperate shipping weights, rules and restrictions for each item in the group
- Use 1 master description for all of the items in the group, and override certain other descriptions for each child item.
- Pictures on the parent item are also joined with all the child items' pictures to make 1 master set of pictures automatically.
- Keeps the parent-child relationship throughout the AmeriCommerce system for reference purposes on orders/reorders.
- Displays children items beneath their parent visually in the cart/order to help end users visualize the tie.
- Select and purchase multiple variations and quantities of the child items all at once, right from the single product page
- Can "require" an item to be purchased in the group, this item/min quantity cannot be removed without removing the whole group from the cart/order.
- Can automatically add a specified quantity of a child item to the cart when a certain number of the other items are added to the cart.
- Quantity can be bound to the parent item, meaning if you order 24 of the parent, you get 24 of the child and it will not be updateable.
