Restricting certain products.

[Aegis Matrix]

Hello,

 

Is it possible to restrict customers from buying individual products unless there is a a primary product in cart ?

For example,

I am selling laptops as primary product, and also i provide printers, scanners and other peripherals. Now i want to restrict my customers from buying just the peripherals unless there is a laptop in cart.

 

How do i do this ?

 

Thank you.

I don't think there is an easy way to do it.
What you'd probably have to do, would be to override the OPC controller, so that it has a check on the cart products in the _getPaymentMethods() function. If there is no product belonging to the laptops category, then return an error. Given that you use opc of course, otherwise you need to modify OrderController.php

@Nemo1 Thank you for your response. So i guess there is no way from admin panel to do it ? But if i modify the system files then it'll get refreshed everytime i update prestashop.

I wish there was a easy way.

Correct, you cannot do it from the backend. There might be a module for it, but I don't honestly know any with this functionality.
As for the mods being gone, they won't if you use overrides
