    My brain hurts! Can eShop do this?

    The client has a line of 21 products they want to put in baskets – it’s a mix and match sort of thing.

    So on one page the customer needs to be able to click on the item, then enter how many they want in the basket and this needs to be done several times.

    Let’s say the items are oranges $1, apples $2, bananas $3, grapes $4, pineapples $5, strawberries $6.
    The customer needs to choose which out of those items they want in the basket and get a total.

    If the customer wants 2 oranges = $2, and 3 apples = $6 ($8 total) in the basket, how do they tell us that?

    So far I’ve been about to make the option sets and put a cost to the option sets, but can’t figure out how they are supposed to tell us how many they want in that one basket. Then once that basket is made, allow them to create another basket of fruit.

    It looks like you’re overcomplicating your products. When you go to a supermarket, you see apples in one bin, oranges in another, and you place the amount you want in your cart. You should be doing the same – no need for option sets. Separate your products into individual types, with option sets only for variance on a type of product (e.g. product: t-shirt, variances: large/medium/small).

    It’s a build your own gift basket that is delivered assembled. If I did that in the market, I’d pick what I wanted the person would put it together for me and ship it to whomever I wanted. It’s the same idea.

    It’s not complicated people choose what they want added to the gift basket, we put it together and it’s delivered to the person receiving the gift.

    Option sets can add an added price to the total, I just need it to be able to add 2 or 3 of the same thing.

    Please post a link to a sample product page. This sounds like an interesting add-on for eShop.
