Title: Regarding Open Shop, can it handle custom products?
Post by: ROUBOS on October 12, 2015, 23:52:46
Hi,
received a post on Facebook regarding Open Shop reaching version 1.0 and since I need to work on this eshop that sells custom products, I thought I'd ask.

So let's say that a store is selling kitchen cabinets, but gives the customer the option to customize a product.
For example:
a cabinet has got recommended dimensions, but some like width and height can be of custom size within a range of values.

Cabinets have default size values, and min and max custom size.
A customer should be able to enter a desired width value, and the shop should calculate the cost and weight of the cabinet based on predefined values.

For example.
A cabinet can have a min and max width, So the customer enters a value in a field which is checked to be in the range of min-max.

The value entered will be checked against a range of widths:
Range1: 150mm - 300mm (will return a price of $116 and weight 23.52kg)
Range2: 301mm - 450mm (will return a price of $138 and weight 29.44kg)
Range3: 451mm - 600mm (will return a price of $161 and weight 35.26kg)
(All cabinets have different ranges which I should be able to enter upon product creation. There are up to 5 ranges)

So once a customer enter a desired width, this will be checked against a range, and the price and weight will be displayed and passed to the cart for purchase.

Also I require shipping costs per postal code range. So postal code from 0800-0815 will cost $0.14 per kilo. This should get the total cart weight and return the shipping costs.

Can this be done with Elxis Open Shop? Does it require custom development? Because I know that Prestashop and Hikashop both require custom development for such product customization.

any thoughts?

thank you
