  • Limitation OFF: Customer can buy a minimum of one main product and there is no limit to how many add-on items he/she can buy.

Step 1

Please go to SHOPLINE admin panel > "Products and Categories" > "Add-ons"

You can set the quality limit for add-on item. System is preset to on as default.

If you want to assign the add-on item to more than one main products, there will be 2 scenarios when you are setting the price:

 

Same add-on price for all assigned main products

A main product can be paired with 5 add-on items at most. It means when you visit the product page, it shows up 5 add-on items. And the sorting is not according to the sequence of add-on product uploaded/created time and date, it depends on pairing with a main product in order of priority.

e.g.
Created the add-on items A>B>C
and the main product 1 paired with C first, then paired with A, the last one is B.
When you scroll the page of product 1, it display the ordering C>A>B from above to below.
