More Options Needed for Shopping Cart Properties / Values  en

Hi Incomedia,

I have the same question as Nigel B asked before I haven't seen any answers. The question is:

WebSite X5 Help Center  - More Options Needed for Shopping Cart Properties / Values

"I'm currently working on my online health shop's Product Search function and wanted to create some additional custom filters in the Shopping Cart/Product Settings/Properties.

I created the following filters for customers to choose what format they want: The "Property/Category" name is "Format" and the "Values" I've assigned are "Capsules", "Powder", and "Liquid".

The problem I face is that some of my health products come in 2 forms; i.e. powder and capsules - so I need to add both Values (i.e. powder and capsules) under the same Property/Category.  But WX5 software only allows me to assign 1 value ONLY to each product when I need to assign 2 values.

I could create 2 of the same products in the Product List (1 for powder and 1 for capsules) but this would negate the purpose of having "Options" which is what I use and would look silly on the website, as well as create more work.  And I would have to add 2 products on my product infomation page which would look unprofessional. My Maxi Mind Brain Supplement is a sample product that has 2 formats (powder and capsules). 

I could also create 3 separate Categories and have 3 separate Values i.e. Category "Capsules" and Value "Capsules", Category "Powder" and Value "Powder" and Category "Liquid" and Value "Liquid" but this doesn't look good and creates an unnecessarily long list of filters.

So, my idea Incomedia is to allow us to add as many "Values" under one Category for one product as we want.

Thanks, Nigel"

I will be very happy to have answer as soon as possible!

Can the customer just add the same product with a different option. Business websites usually use the one page method for each individual product as each product has a different barcode.

You can simply add the photos together and the customer can simply choose which of the two or more he wants.

Definitely improvements in this part as well. But a key part that generally concerns all those who have an eshop is to put filters in the registration of customer data as there is the big problem.

Phone and email for example are a problem. There should be a character definition as well as a choice of suffixes for emails.
