Hello,

I have a requirement where in i will need product options for a bundle and each bundle might contain 500 to 1000 products. I see that product options are available for Products only and not for the bundle, Is there a way to enable the options for the product bundle.

Please do the needful.

A product bundle is a subclass of a product so anything that a product can do a product bundle can do as well.

Is there an area that you see that you cannot do anything with product options for bundles? Admittedly this is not a normal use case in Broadleaf. There might be a better way to model what you are thinking.

Thanks Phillip,

My requirement is to bundle 200+ products into one item. These products are basically in form of liquid. The issue is these products cannot be bundled into one using admin app, there are close to 500000 products to choose from and the user can select any number of products and they will have to be combined into one shipment(package) and the package can contain product options such as volume, packing type, etc.

Any suggestion on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Hi

i do have a similar case for web-to-print products where the customer can freely choose the imprint, print technology, accessories etc... and build a 'dynamic bundle' . My solution is to use an external 'bundle configurator' and then send the selected products into the shopping cart through a web-service I have developed. In the web-service, programmatically I add a product bundle to the cart and then, also by programm, add all the selected products to the bundle.
This means that in the broadleaf admin, I have only one 'bundle' product which contains no products and one 'real' product for each ordarable product item.
These creates an enourmous flexibility on how to compose the bundles and also having more than one of such bundles in the cart.

If these is a path you might consider, let me know.
