Tick boxes multiples selections

[nigelt]

Is it possible to have multiple selections of a product using the attributes ?
EG If you are offering different colours of a product the customer clicks on the tick box(es) they want and click add to cart, rather than selecting a colour, adding to cart,selecting another colour, adding to cart... etc !

Just wondered....
Thanks

There are several ways to do this - here are 2:

1) Make separate product for Widget-Red, Widget-Blue, etc. Set the Sections Shopping Mode to be Quantity on Product Page / Single Add to Cart. You now get quantity boxes for each selection and a single Add to Cart at the bottom of the page.

2) Have a zero priced product "Widget" with several optional Components. Each Component is named after the colour Red, Blue, etc. Price each Component as per 1 item. Set the Pricing Model to be Sum of Component Prices.

Thank you Norman.
I think one of the problems with Actinic is that it can do lots and lots, but there is no "manual" with all these snippets in.
A collection of "How do I's".

Grateful for the reply and solution.
