Stores that sell gift boxes, snack boxes, beauty sets or mixed cases need the shopper to choose what goes inside. WooCommerce can not do that alone, so stores make dozens of fixed bundles or take choices through order notes and fix them by hand.
Build Your Own Box adds a new product type. The shopper opens the box, fills its slots from your catalogue and adds it to the cart once it meets your rules. The server checks every rule again, so a changed count in the browser never gets through.
For shoppers
- A picture of the box that fills up as they choose.
- A clear message about what is still missing.
- The price, live, before they add to cart.
- One tidy line in the cart with the contents below.
For the store
- One product instead of dozens of fixed bundles.
- Stock reduced per item, with normal low stock emails.
- A line per item on the order for packing.
- New products join category pools by themselves.
