product options

[faris10]

I'm developing a beanbag website. I have more than 30 types of products and each product have 20 colors . How can I make it easy on me to add this options of colors to all my products

If you want each color for a beanbag to be a different product, then look at the 'Master Products' contribution. (probably best choice)

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...,master+product

 

Otherwise, you can just use product attributes that are built into Oscommerce and for each beanbag, have colors as attributes that the customer can select before adding to the cart. (easy way out, but will require more manual work. Ex, if red color is out of stock, then you have to edit the product and remove the attribute.)

 

Here is a site using Master Products: http://www.pearlseacompany.com/product_inf...?products_id=48

 

Note, that is not my site. You can associate multiple slave products to each master product. So a Beanbag A can have multiple slave products, such as Beanbag A Red, Beanbag A Blue, etc. associated with it.
