    Hello there,
    I just installed the WPC Grouped Product plugin but the point is that it does not display the options of the simple products in a grouped product.
    For instance, I would like to sell contact lenses.
    The grouped product is CONTACT LENSES.
    CONTACT LENSES is composed by 2 simple products: RIGHT EYE and LEFT EYE
    The simple products options are: Axis, cylinder, and sphere (numbers).
    How can I allow my users to select these different options when they are on the Contact lenses page?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi @hijodeafrica ,

    If you want to create a grouped product as the one you described, you’ll need to create two Variable products, not Simple products, which were named Right Eye & Left Eye respectively. You can click on Products >> Add New >> in Product data section, choose “Variable product”. Each of these: Axis, cylinder, and sphere should be the Attributes to be chosen in the Attributes tab (remember to choose the option “Used for variations”, see https://prntscr.com/rknrwn, and the options for each attribute (number or degree) should be the Variations, see https://prntscr.com/rknspj. If you want your products to have options, then they must be created as Variable, not Simple. Simple items only have one choice. Remember to update the price and image for each variation (choices/options) in the Variations tab of each products.

    After creating these products, if you don’t want customers to find them from your store, remember to adjust its Visibility to Hidden from search and shop archive. Also, from the admin dashboard, you can go to WPClever >> Grouped Products >> Link to individual products >> “No”, then customers won’t be able to find out that item.

    Now, you need to create a new grouped product, choose “Smart grouped” in the Product Data, then add the two newly created products to the deal, then in the front-end, all attributes will be displayed as three drop-downs for buyers to choose. Refer to this to see how it looks: https://prntscr.com/rknv7h.

    Follow these steps then you’ll be fine. Hope my explanations are clear enough. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

    Best regards.

    Hi again,
    The point is that, now the ADD TO CART button is not displayed.
    I wonder why.

    Hi @hijodeafrica ,

    By default, WooCommerce requires every product to have a price for the Add to cart button to be displayed. Whichever kind of pricing you’re using for your products, you MUST always put a price in the General tab of the Product data section.

    Even if you don’t use this price for your composite, just put any number in that tab and choose the pricing method normally, then the Add to Cart button will be visible.

    Best regards.
