How to allow multiple selections of the same item on my custom pick n mix website?

[PixieBell]

Hello!

I hope I'm asking this in the right place.

My website allows you to purchase custom pick n mix bags. Here's a link as the example.

https://pixiebellsweets.co.uk/products/create-your-own?variant=37993172369557

We use an app which allows customers to choose what sweets they want in the bag from over 100 options but it only allows you to pick each option once. Is there an app or way to allow it to pick the same option more than once? For example a customer might want double of their favourite sweet but with the current set up this isn't possible. 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks! 🙂

Hi @PixieBell 

Thank you for reaching out to our community forums for help with your store's product pages. I took a look at your website and your candy looks delish! Wish I lived in the EU, I'd definitely be ordering some. 

For your candy picker, I love the layout of the app you are using but I can see what you mean about the restriction on only choosing one kind of candy once. The first thing I would actually do is contact the app developer to ask them if this is a feature they are able to integrate for you.

Many app developers want to hear feedback on their apps and are sometimes willing to make unique customizations based on the store. If the developers are not open to that or are not able to make that change to support your store, I would maybe consider adding a custom field to your product pages that allows customer to type out their customization or mix instead of the box selectors. (Plus: This also makes your website more accessible for anyone using a screen reader or with a visual impairment). They could also use this custom field to say "I want 5 servings of blue whales and 3 of sour keys" when they have only chosen one or two options. 

Depending on your comfort level with coding, you can add a custom field to your product pages yourself using the tutorial in this forum thread: Custom Fields on Product Page or you could consider hiring a developer to help you customize that experience.

Let me know if you have any more questions, I am happy to help!

Hi @PixieBell 

I'm not sure if the options on the link are really product options. My app, BYOB allows customers to build bundles by buying any X products in a collection, pay a discounted price. 

But the bundles are created as products instead of a widget on the product page. A sample page is like this. Below is a rendered screenshot.

Previously, there was another candy shop setting up bundles of candy pouches so I know it's kind of working.

I don't have a case study for candy shop at this moment. But you can take a quick look at my bundling case study about a beauty company. 

Let me know if it's suitable for you. I would be happy to hear your feedback.

Hi, 

Please can I ask what app you use to let your customers pick their options on your custom pick n mixes?

Thank you !
