Combinations && product group

[MrGumby]

Hi,

I have problem with product group (product pack) and combinations. Assume, you have two products with several combinations (attributes) and you want to create product group from the products, lets just say a product pack with better price.

 

You can create product pack as new product and set that product as "product group" (hope I'm using the right sentence, I'm using czech language in backoffice), it is the 2nd choice at very beginning when creating new product:

 

 

But product packs don't allow to assign combinations. Of course, you can upload several images, so your customers will see all possible variants and they will also see the products, from which the product packs is made up, so they can open detail of products, observe the combinations there and do the decision, but if they will buy the product pack, they are not forced to give you the information about what variant they choose. In other words, they will finish the order and you will receive it as order for product pack, where exist i.e. 10 possible combinations of one product, 10 possible combinations of second product and you don't know what the customer want.

 

You can write into description something like "please, specify your chosen variant of products in comment during order process", but it is not comfortable to them, nor comfortable to you, and still you can't be sure, that they will provide you this info, so in the end in many cases, you will have to contact them and ask again.

 

Do you know any solution to this problem? Any smart advice or module that can handle this? I know I can make new product not as product pack, but as ordinary physical product, give it name and price as for product pack and create combinations there, but it will be very laborious (assume 10 combinations for both products, you end with 100 combinations and who wants combine images of products and assign them to the right combination then).
