Product As Option

v1.3.1 Rev 30 Aug 2021

Overview

Product As Option helps you to select the products that you want to use as an option. Allows stock tracking without allocation.
The products will be shown in a Lightbox dialog where customer can directly add to cart.

AbanteCart v1.3.0 use Product As Option v1.3.0.1. Tested up to PHP 8.0.

Important Notes:
1. Starting with extension v1.2.15 we have adopted a license key for all our extensions. Your extension will only work if you have a validated license key entered for the location where your extension is installed. Refer to here for more details on how license keys work.
2. AbanteCart v1.2.14 is extremely problematic. Install Patch files or better to update to 1.2.15.

Setup

1. Turn ON to use the extension.

Important Notes: If you already have an account in our support system and you are using multiple WHY2 extensions, you do NOT need to create another account in the support system.

2. Enter your WHY2 license code. Refer to here for more details on how license keys work.
3. Show view Product Page: Turn ON if you want to want to show the Product Page Button in the lightbox.
4. Run Order: If you are using multiple of our extensions, refer to our F.A.Q for How to set extensions sort/run order if you are using multiple extensions. You can leave it blank if you are only using our Product As Option individually.
