Thanks for the quick response, bluey80! Also, thanks for the tip on changing prices for individual options, that’s helpful.

I’m sure there are a lot of little tips like that are hard to discover for oneself, but you probably know off the top of your head how to do them. You should consider putting together a FAQ or how-to for stuff like that.

Well, for those who wonder how it works, this is what I’ve found so far:

[scabn name=”Colored Toy” price=”9.99″ fshipping=”5.00″ options_name=”Color” options=”Red,Blue,Yellow” qty_field = “true” no_cart = “true” b_title=”Add To Cart”]

This will create a box with the Colored Toy product, a dropdown for 3 colors (it will look like this: “Blue ($9.99)” ), a qty box, and an add to cart button.

Attempting to use more than one options_name overwrites the variable, so far I haven’t found a way to use more than one drop down box per product.

The no_cart=”true” bit confuses me, because if I take it out, the button’s still there but isn’t clickable. So I’m not sure what the point of that is.

I’m not sure how to use different prices for different options, if that’s even possible. The plugin is called Simple Cart so.. I can’t complain about a lack of features, but I’m hoping there’s a way to change price based on option.

Hm, I may have found an easier workaround by using the [scabn] shortcode on a text widget. The formatting isn’t right, but I can’t blame you for not matching my theme. ??

I disabled the paypal button by commenting it out, per your suggestion in another thread. Worked great.

Now I need to see about adding option drop downs to my products, I’m assuming I would do so via your shortcode but I don’t see much documentation on how to do so. I’d suggest a FAQ for using the plugin.
