I'm moving to Azure and unfortunately Catalook will not be able to make the move with me.

For that reason I'm evaluating Cart Viper. I've searched the manual and these forums but I'm not seeing how to handle products with multiple packages. Most of our products are comprised of 2-8 boxes. In catalook, it wasn't exactly convenient in that I had to make a product for each box, then bundle them into a single price. It then handled adding and removing them as a group from the cart, etc.

Can someone please point me in the correct direction.

As an FYI for anyone else who comes across this, I also tried Revindex and Smith Cart.

Smith cart has some of the same bugs that it had 2 years ago when I evaluated it and reported them, so : dismissed.

Revindex can handle this concept with what it calle required products. However, it has a bug where it does not properly remove the items from the cart as a group despite the fact that it adds them as a group.

I'm hopeful that this group has thought through these scenarios a bit better and I simply am missing a key tidbit of knowledge.

It seems I cannot edit a post here, so to correct my above statement, Revindex does not support multi-package products or bundling at all but they have stated that it will be added in a future update.

Any word on Cart Vipers ability to do this?

Hi Berney,

I am not 100% sure how you mean by multiple packages, however we can't conditionally add / remove multiple products to the cart. Have you looked at our product variants, could they be used to handle your various options? 

Perhaps you could send a link to your existing site so we could see an example of how this currently works?

Thanks
Nigel.

I'll try to be more clear.

I sell a product for $1999. When you buy it, I ship you three boxes.

Therefore, I need to be able to define that 1 product has three boxes for the FedEx calculation in the cart.

Smith cart handles this by a one to many relationship between product and packages (boxes).

Catalook habdles this by bundling, which is sometimes also referred to as kitting. With it, we basically associate multiple products together so that one is added to the cart, all the associated products also go to the cart.

This is my current Catallook based site: http://simxperience.com/

Adding this product to the rt will show you this functionality of Catalook.

http://simxperience.com/en-us/product...

In this example, 8 boxes will be placed in the cart and included in the FedEx calculation. The Catalook way is a pain compared to the Smith Cart way but it does work.

Hi,

Ok we don't support that we would need to add this to our road map, it is currently 1 product = 1 box.

Thanks
Nigel.
