-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.southernempress.com/stern-wheeler-cr...pril-22-lunch-cruise
-- HikaShop version -- : HikaShop Business: 2.3.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.2
-- PHP version -- : 5.4


I have a question about Options vs. Characteristics. I would like to display 3 boxes from each of my characteristics that i have set up. One for Adult, One for Senior, and One for Children. So if my guest comes to the website then they will be able to select the number of adults, seniors, or children, then click add to cart.

So far I have not been able to find out how to do this.

Thanks for your help.

So to do that, you need to create one characteristic called "number of persons" with values from 1 to 10 for example.
Then, you create three products, one for adult, one for senior and one for children, and you add that characteristic to each of these products.
Then, you add these three products as options of the product where you want to be able to select the number of child/senior/adult.
In each of these product options, you can click on the "manage variants" button in order to configure the price for each amount of person of that type.

Afternoon Nicolas,

I tried your suggestion and it did not work like I thought it would. I have attached a small file with an example of what I would like HikaShop to do.

Thanks for your help. If you would like to go into the website please let me know so that I can give you the correct information.

Hello,
To do what you want the solution will probably be to set the "Characteristics selection method" option of the "Hikashop->System->Configuration->Main" page to LIST.

Thank you Mohamed,

That is closer but do I need to have three "add to cart" buttons? I would prefer that I select number of adults, seniors, children then add to cart. Since once you hit add to cart it takes you out of the product, and now the customer has to return to do another age group.

The system directs you to the checkout because the "after a product is added to the cart" option of the configuration is set to redirect the user to the checkout on your website.
You can have stay on the current page and that way you will be able to easily enter another number and add it to the cart.

Having several quantity inputs with one add to cart button can be done on products listing (there is an option for that) but not on the product page. For the product page, you can have several custom item fields with an add to cart button, but then it would require to develop a plugin to calculate the price of the product based on the values entered in the fields, like with our donation plugin ( demo.hikashop.com/index.php?option=com_h...ct&task=show&cid=214 ).
The simplest is to do like mohamed proposed and not redirect to the checkout.
