Multi-Product Picker In Product

[koskimaa]

Dear Prestashop community,

 

I'm looking need to set up a storefront to sell used games and other goods from Japan to the world. Selling in Facebook groups have reached it's limit.

 

Since I'm selling used goods, I may have several items of the same kind, but in different condition.

 

I need your help finding a way with Prestashop, either through a vanilla install or with add-ons (I'm wiling to pay for it) to be able to show several products INSIDE a product. Let me try to explain:

 

I may have 5 copies of Super Mario 64 but 2 of them may be yellowed cartridge-only and go for a low price, 1 may be in great condition and the other two may come complete in box, but one box is in better condition than the other. I don’t want to put up 5 different product listings and SKU's for each one, I’d rather have one product listing and then have the buyer browse all the different stock I have of that product with different photos of the condition for each item, and have the price reflecting that. The best would be if the product listing when browsing the category would say something like ¥800 ～ ¥5000 to reflect both the cheapest and most expensive options inside.

 

If possible, I'd also like to be able to give buyers options for each product inside the product. For example. The buyer can pick a Super Nintendo in great condition instead of a scuffed or discolored one, but whichever the buyer chooses, he/she will also get the option to order a chip modification, extra controllers etc.

 

I also need to be able to add bundles and add-on items. Example: “Get 10% off loose cartridges when you buy this console set” or “Nintendo 64 set + 3 games, pick from these 20 loose cartridges”. But I'm confident this is already built in or available through add-ons. My main concern is the multi-product picker inside the product.

 

Super greatful for answers, I'm really eager to get started!

I think what you want to achieve you can do with attributes. 

You can assign different photos and prices for different attributes, but the main product will have the same name.

Hi Simonas, thank you for the response! That sounds pretty good, do you know if there is a limit to how many attributes a product can have? With the method you're referring to, one attribute can't have multiple photos, right? Only one photo per attribute, I'm assuming.

[Simonas Invertus]

One attribute can have as many photos as you want.

 

There are no limits for attribute but  if you would have 1000 products with 100 different attributes your backOffice can become slow.

Simonas, thank you for the follow-up. I'm really greatful for your help.

 

That sounds fantastic! I may have 1000 products one day, but only a part of them will need 2-20 different attributes, depending on current stock.

 

Is the functionality you're describing possible with a regular Prestashop install, or will I need the help of an add-on? Also, do you know of any type of tutorial or instruction video I can look at in order to learn how to set this up?

 

Again, thank you so much for the answers, thanks to you - I'm getting more and more positive that I'll be able to make this happen.

This is possible with default PrestaShop, you can use addons for more advanced stuff.
