Hi,

I have used variants and options together fine, but as you know options show up on he checkout page with a unit amount by them, what I'm trying to do on this occasion is allow choice of colour and size separately, however, the sizes carry different costs. e.g.
small - 0
med +£10
large +£20

if I add both size and colour as variants, I end up with 20 selections for the user, which I dont want.
I'm trying to achieve 1 - choose a colour (5 choices)
2 - choose a size (4 choices)

can you tell me the best way to achieve this without having one of them as an option ?

Thanks

Hi,

Options show up on the checkout with a unit amount only if you have the "groups options with product" setting turned off in the HikaShop configuration. Otherwise, the options display together with the product as one product in the checkout.
So that might be something to look into.

Regarding your question with the characteristics, I'm not sure what is the problem you're talking about. But yes, characteristics are not independent from one another since actually when you select the value of each characteristic, you're actually selecting a variant of the product which is the combination of both values.
If the problem is that you can select more values that possible because they are used for some values of the other characteristic and that you have 2 characteristics in your product, I would recommend to try changing the "characteristic selection method" setting of the HikaShop configuration to either "table" or "list" and see if the way it displays on the product page better fit your needs.

Hi nicolas,
ok thanks for the info, Ive grouped the options and added more detail to the descriptions, so that the user can see where they are paying more.
