Customize product with variants that's shared with other customisable products

We are looking for an app that allows our customers to customize a jumping rope. The jumping rope has two components; handle and cable.

 

→ Each handle has three styles, and one of the handle styles offer several different colour options; 13 different colours.

→ Each cable has 5 different weights (X ounces for a 9 foot length), 9 different colours and 10 different pre-cut lengths. This adds up with variants; 450 to be exact. The cables is delivered pre-cut from our supplier.

 

Our thought is that every handle style (3 styles, don't confuse these with colour variants) will have their own product page. This will be easy to set up with options to choose different colors of the handles in the styles it's needed, but every handle style (unique product page) shares the same cable inventory across product pages.

 

Let’s look at this example:

A customer is browsing our store and can see we offer 3 different jump rope styles in the “Jump Rope” collection. The customer thinks style 1 looks best, clicks this product and is redirected to the product page for style 1. The customer is now able to customize the jump rope, and purchases handle style 1 in black color, with the 3.6 cable weight in white color and 120 cm length. If this specific cable was our last one in stock, the inventory at the product page for both jump rope style 1, style 2 and style 3 should be updated to display that this cable option now is sold out. Before the customer purchased the jump rope with the specifications explained, the cable was available within the product page for both style 1, style 2 and style 3, but we in fact just had 1 cable with these specifications in stock.

 

I've read that bundle-apps could work, but I have not found an app that allows sync of inventory as explained in the example. I found the app "Connected Inventory - InsCoder" that could suit our needs, but I find some limitations with that one as well.

 

If anyone know about an app that solves our situation, I'm happy to check it out. Thanks in advance.

Hi @joar,

I see that you've already received a suggestion for your custom options, but I'd like to propose an alternative solution that might be simpler. This way, you can consider it for future reference or share it with other members who might encounter similar issues 🤗.

 

You can set up Unlimited product options by using the Easify Product Options app. And you don't need to divide your options to be different products, which might not be good for SEO when you have many similar product pages. Instead, you can include all custom options in a product page. 

 

I have tried set up a quick demonstration on how you can set up your options using the app:

  • Group your options into two categories: Handle and Cable.

  • Under the Handle group, customers can select Style options. Once a specific style is chosen, they can then select the available Colors for that style only.

  • Under the Cable group, customers can select Weight, Color, and Pre-cut length options.

By organizing your options into these groups, you provide a clear and user-friendly interface for your customers to make their selections.

 

This approach allows you to consolidate all the custom options on a single product page, making it easier for customers to configure their desired products. It also streamlines the management of your product catalog.

 

I hope this solution proves helpful for you and others facing similar challenges 😊.

Hi, 

Easify is a great app, no doubt but does it offer the below functionality?

  1. Dynamically update pricing and generate a quote based on selected features.
  2. Allow users to save and share a specific configuration via a direct link or button without login required.
  3. Have a “Get a Quote” or “Add to Cart” option once the configuration is complete.
