This CubeCart mod is perfect for many stores that use product options, particular when products come in a variety of colours, fabrics, sizes, etc.
Client stores where you can see this mod in action:
This mod will allow you to illustrate your product options visually with images, it will also allow you to display your product options with radio options, checkboxes and standard drop down selection menus. It comes with around 6 display types built in.
- Visual options allow you to illustrate each choice with an image. For example, you may want to use images to show the available colours, or for a store that prints business cards (etc) you could illustrate the different fonts.
- Radio options are very useful because a customer can see all of the possible options, so they are more likely to make a correct choice, or purchase additional features/services/etc.
- Checkboxes are designed to be used when you want your customer to be able to choose multiple options, and checkboxes also allow your customer to choose no options.
New feature added to v1.4: For products with 'visual' product options, the visual option thumbail will be displayed in the view cart page instead of the default product thumbnail. Or this feature can be disabled.
New feature added to v1.3: You can now setup visual option images that automatically apply to all products, rather than having to setup the images for each individual product.
New features (these features were not in the CC3 version of this mod)
- New visual option display type: options are displayed in a drop down list and when selected the visual option image will be displayed in place of the main product image. (Similar to Product Images with Javascript Preview, but with the added benefit that the appropriate colour has already been chosen within the drop down list when the image is displayed)
- The administration side of this mod has been improved.
Notes:
- Following installation you may want to customize the CSS to match your store skin and thumbnail sizes. This may require basic knowledge of CSS. We offer customization services if you would like us to do this for you.
- The images setup for each product option are unique to each product so they currently have to be setup for each individual product.
- You can create your own display types for your product options (advanced users only!)
