Selling wine by the bottle or case

[Guest james_mac]

I am doing a wine website. I am a little unsure what would be the best way to go about setting up selling wine by the bottle or case. So you have a variety (ex: Chardonnay). And then on that product page, I'd like for people to be able to choose purchasing by the bottle or by the case. How could I do this?

For examle I would make a top level catagory called white wines, then child catagories for the regions, chardonnay and so on, then place the wines within their correct catagory, once done you can use 'product options' to create the options you need.

For product options first create and option, call it Quantity, then creat option values, 2 bottles, 3 bottles, 4 bottles, Case of 6. Then Assign the options to the product and create an option value to reflect the difference in price.

That seems a little funky. Is there a way to have 2 quantity fields? 1 for bottles and 1 for cases? Like so:

Bottles [ ]

Cases [ ]

An example is here: http://www.ventanawines.com/index.cfm?meth...Asc,%20P.Price1

any other ideas?

You can do it that way, just have a play with the options and try them.

You create 2 options, one called bottles and one called cases, then create option values 2,3,4,5, bottles. 1,2,3,4 cases, assign them with values to the products.

You could also create two separate products, one for bottle and one for case. Then using an up sell mod, you could list the cases as a related product so that the case for the specific wine is shown on the product's page and vice versa
