I have an option product.
The option product has characteristics.
The option product is added as an option of a main product.
The variants of the option product have different prices.
One of the variants has no price.


The variants are:
No Label (cost set at zero)
Butterfly Label (cost at 2)
Heart Label (cast at 3)

My aim is to allow the user to add a label of a certain type (and different costs) to the main product they are purchasing.

But. When the buyer selects No Label this is added to the shopping cart as a FREE item. (When the buyers intention is to NOT buy a label)

But if I don't have my 'No Label' variant, then when a buyer changes their mind after having originally selected a label from the variant dropdown (and before going to the shopping cart), they wouldn't be able to select not to buy a label.

What am I misunderstanding?

Hi peterward,

Then you should use "labels" as products and put this free product as an "option" for your main product.

My 'labels' is a product (in a category I called options)
My labels product is an option for my main product.
Problem is that I want my user to be able to select 'no label' just like they select 'no webcam' on the demo site with options.
So I created a variant characteristic of my 'labels' product with no value attached.

So when they select 'no label' it appears in the shopping cart as a Free item.
This variant I've created is not really a Free item, it's an invitation to tell me that 'I don't want a label'
If I don't have my variant 'no label' then they would never be able NOT to select a label.

Ok I might not have explained this clearly so let me try again.

I can provide a user with the option to add either a red tag, blue tag, or yellow tag to the main product.
Lets say they decide to add a red tag along with maybe some other options to the main product, a yellow ribbon perhaps.
Then before they add this to the cart they see that the total price of the product with their added options is greater than what they want to spend.
What they now want to do is to remove the red tag (add no tag) and then progress through to the shopping cart.
How do I provide them with that option?

Hi,

I'm still unclear on what you want since as far as I understand you already gave the solution to want you want.

I understood that you want an option dropdown where the user can select between a free "no tag" or a red/blue tag with a price.
If you use an option product with a characteristic with three values (no tag, red and blue) with the corresponding price in each variant of that option product and that you attached it to your main product, it should do exactly that.
The problem is that you said that it's what you did on your first post. So I'm a bit lost as to what you want to do.

When the user selects 'No Tag'. I want this NOT to appear in the shop cart.

Hi,

In that case, in the name of the variant "no tag", you should enter the text:
<span class="my_specific_class">No Tag</span>

Then, you can use that CSS on your website in order to hide the name on the cart and checkout:
.hikashop_cart .my_specific_class, .hikashop_checkout_cart .my_specific_class{ display:none;}
