"Create your own box" functionality

    Dear all,

    I`m looking for a WooCommerce functionality to let users assemble their own box of cupcakes. Letting users make their own selection of cakes, before adding the box to the cart. Exactly like so: http://www.peggyporschen.com/create-your-own

    Boxes having up to 24 slots. And I want to offer different kinds of boxes, i.e. cupcakes, chocolates, etc.

    I’d like the solution to be easy manageable: it must be easy to add new cakes.

    No need to reinvent the wheel if it’s already there. Does anyone maybe know of an exciting plugin that does this?

    If no plugin exists, I’ll have to create it myself (will share). Any tips on creating such functionality?

    Thanks Roy!

    I`m not sure if that will work, because I want to fill a box until its full. And show it’s contents on the right side.

    Was thinking of creating product variations for each slot in the box. And then writing a javascript interface to select items for each slot. But this will be quite hard to manage. Adding new items (cakes) would be a pain in the ass I guess…

    I think this could be made easy manageable with ACF Repeater Field.

    The admin could easily create new cupcakes to display on the create-your-box product page. But I`m wondering how to create functionality that makes the visitor able to fill a box with those cupcakes.

    Any thoughts?

    Did you have any joy with this? I’m looking at doing a similar thing.

    Hi Greencode,

    Unfortunately my client had to cancel this project.

    I was looking forward to building this, had it all figured out: Composite Products would definitely be the way to go, together with some front end magic.

    Good luck!

    @ J Rambo, apologies for not replying sooner – I didn’t get your reply as I wasn’t subscribed! Really appreciate you getting back to me about this. I’ll look into the composite products.

    I’ve just been researching the same thing over the last couple of days.
