The cross-selling features will allow you to create the bundle and discount. 

The shopping cart can handle adding several items to the cart at one time.  However, during a "multiple add-to-cart" it does not currently process options.  That is why the bundled item will not show if the options are required.

This would be a fairly large project.  It would involve the following:

1.) Modify viewPrdCode.asp so that option and bundles are always displayed.
2.) Modify InstPrd.asp to accept multiple parameters from bundles.

Both steps above are generalized and actually would be comprised of several smaller steps.  Hopefully, that is enough to provide an idea of what would be required.  This is not something that will be included in the next update.  It is a nice idea though and I have added it to our "Wish List".  In the meantime, an option is to hire an asp programmer to perform the tasks.

Hi Matt,

I came across your posting as I was searching for why a cross-selling "bundle" link in my store isn't working. So if I understand you correctly, if the bundled item requires a option it won't show up in the store?

This is a pretty strong limitation for us at YourBagTag.comYourBagTag.com. Our entire store is "personalized" items. Each item requires the option of Name, thread color, etc.

I wanted to bundle a BC Tag and a SCUBA airtank tag, offer a $5 discount on the purchase of both. Any suggest work around on this?]]> Tue, 08 Jul 2008 09:54:11 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/crossselling-bug_topic1687_post5950.html#5950 <![CDATA[Cross-selling bug : I followed it step by step, since...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/crossselling-bug_topic1687_post5426.html#5426 Author: katharina

I followed it step by step, since the instructions were straight forward.  The products has no options.  All we have done at this point is marked it "Not for Sale" and inventory is set at 0, and ignore stock has been turned off.  I guess we have to create a manual link from the product description instead.  I still don't think a cross link should be disabled just because one item is out of stock.  For example you sell a candle holder and candles for it.  You can be out of the holder and still offer the candles since some may already have the holder.  Isn't that the point of cross selling, even for add on items.  For bundles items it is a different story.

Hi Katharina,

The changes I outlined work for the issue you described.  I applied themto our demo store and tested them before I posted.  However, there areother reasons why a Cross Sell link could be hidden.  For example, if theproduct has required options.  In any event, the cross sell section ofcode is very well commented and organized.  It would be a small task for adeveloper to customize it for you.

Still no luck with showing cross sell items on an out of stock item page.  I guess I give up on this one.  What a pitty.

I guess the key distinction here is between "Alternative items" and "Options / Accessories / Complementary items" .

Just my 2 cents :-)

For bundled items it makes completely sense.  For related items it doesn't.  The bundled items is new isn't it?
Commenting out you mean putting a ' in front of it.  Right?

Hi Katharina,

I understand the limitation doesn’t work for you.  However, it makes sense for others. 

Some stores use cross selling for “related items” and otheruse it for “bundle packages”.  In somecases accessories are required and are not available unless the parent productis available.

For any given feature there are virtually an unlimitednumber of ways someone will want to use it. We are always listening and will try to add good suggestions to future updates.We work hard to accommodate everyone. 

Depending on your type you may also need to comment out thefollowing:

IF showAddtoCart=1 THEN (line 1501)

END IF (line 1628)

This limitation does not make sense, but I like that you guys consider a change.  I did the change, but it still does not show.  Could it be that selecting the "not for sale" button with message causes this?
