Apparel Add-on: features

Manage product variations (options) as independent products

The Apparel Add-On can be easily added to any store running ProductCart and it allows you to handle each product variation (i.e. a combination of product options assigned to a certain item), as separate "sub-products".

What does this mean? For example, if size 32/34 of a pair of black pants is out of stock, but 34/33 is in stock, the customer can see it. If size XXL of a winter coat weighs more and costs more than a size SMALL, you can easily handle that scenario.

  • Multiple Options
    Define your product variations using multiple option groups (e.g. Color, Size, Style, etc.).
  • Automatically show a different product image when customers click on a color swatch.
    The Apparel Add-On adds new features to your ProductCart-powered storefront. For example, it allows customers to view different variations of a product's image based on different colors, different styles, etc. ProductCart lets you associate an image with each options (e.g. color swatches: you can associate a small red square with the option "red"). When customers click on it, the image changes accordingly.
  • Automatically prevent customers from ordering out-of-stock product variations.
    When a selection is made from the first option (e.g. color: "Mountain Red", see image above), the second drop-down (e.g. size: "M") is instantly updated, without refreshing the page. If any of the available combinations (e.g. "Mountain Red/S", "Mountain Red/M", etc.) is out of stock, ProductCart will either show a custom out of stock message, or hide the selection. It's up to you, as this setting can be configured on a product by product basis.
  • Define each product variation.
    For each product variation (e.g. color/size combinations), you can specify a part number, a general image, a detail view image, a price differential (e.g. Add $5 for all XXL sizes), product weight (e.g. a XXL jacket might weigh much more than the XS version of the same product), and inventory information (stock count or 'disregard stock', product-specific back-ordering settings). The Apparel Add-On equips ProductCart's Control Panel with a number of tools that allow you to quickly create and efficiently manage all product variations.
  • Set quantity discounts for each product variation.
    For additional sales flexibility, you can set individual quantity discounts for each product variation. This allows you, for instance, to place all "small" sizes of a certain sweater "on sale" without altering the main product's price.
  • Set back-ordering for each product variation
    You can now handle back-orders at the sub-product level (e.g. "Blue-Small" is in stock, "Blue-Medium" ships in 5 days and can be purchased, "Blue-Large" is out of stock and cannot be purchased).
  • Add multiple products to the cart
    Customers can add more than one sub-product to the cart at the same time (e.g. add "Blue-Small" and "Red-Medium" to the cart at the same time). Your customers will love this feature. See it at work on our demo store: select a color, a size, and then click on "Save and choose another".
