Add box size to advanced options

Postby kayakooc » Tue Dec 31, 2013 2:32 pm

Can we add box size to advanced options in the product info?

Answer from shopsite:

There is only one box size per product. A few options might be:

1. If you use advanced options, you can assign different weights to different combinations which could help control shipping costs.

2. Use sub-products instead of one product for the different sized boxes. Reference:

3. Have them select the size from a link first, which then either displays or takes them to another page with a separate product for each size.
