How to set up a composite product?

THIS GUIDE IS CREATED BASED ON WPC COMPOSITE PRODUCTS FOR WOOCOMMERCE 2.0.3.

1. CREATE A NEW COMPOSITE:

From the admin dashboard, click Products >> Add New

In the Product Data section, choose Composite product from the drop-down list: https://prnt.sc/rwt5op. The composite configuration board will appear.

For each component, you can put a name, description, predefined quantity, set min/ max quantity.

In the Required option, if you choose “Yes”, customers must choose a product from this component and cannot remove it from the order. Choose “No” to make it an optional component.

2. PRICING METHODS:

2.1: Component’s prices:
– In the New price box, users can set a new price for each component. This is also where users can set the discount for each component. If you put in “49”, it means setting the new price to $49. If you put in “90%”, it means to give a 10% discount or set the new price at 90% of the regular price of that item.

– In Discount box (see https://prnt.sc/rwte7y): This is the percentage discount applying on all components in this composite, not on the total amount. Users just need to enter a number, the discount will be counted by percentage. For example, if you enter “10”, all components will be discounted for 10%.

2.2: Composite’s pricing:

Users MUST always put a price in the General tab of the Product Data section to display the Add to Cart button (see https://prnt.sc/rwthwx). If you don’t enter a price here, the Add to Cart button will be disabled. This is the default setting of WooCommerce. This is also the base price.

There are 3 pricing methods: Only base price, Include the base price and Exclude the base price:

– Only base price: use the price set in the General tab as a fixed price for the whole composite. The price won’t change when customers choose different components with varying prices.

– Include the base price: The total will be the sum of all components’ prices AND the base price.

– Exclude the base price: The total will be the sum of all components’ prices only, not taking the base price into the account.

2.3. If prices don’t change when components of varying prices are chosen:

Remember to check the plugin setting from the admin dashboard, navigate to WPClever >> Composite Products, scroll down to see if the “Change price” option is enabled or not.

If not, please choose Yes from the drop-down list. Then when customers choose the components with different prices, the total price will change accordingly with Include / Exclude the base price method.

Kindly note that the price change is also heavily dependent on the theme you’re using as well. If you have checked carefully and found that the above options have been properly set but the prices still don’t change, you can contact us on Ticksy Support Forum. Provide your site information with a site link and admin login credentials. Our developers will help customize your code theme files in order to make the price calculations work normally on your site.
