Guest Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) I create custom balloon decor. Customers choose from many options; it's not like the color of a shirt. For instance pick 2 colors from chart A, pick 1 color from chart B, chose a foil number, choose a pattern, choose a topper from the chart. Attached is an example. - What's the best way to approach this? Isn't there something other than variants, like custom product options? Edited October 28, 2021 by Guest Link to comment

You can add a Custom Product Form, but it is only designed for same cost options. You cannot use it for additional cost options - these can only be selected using variants.

Guest Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Does the custom product form overlay only when the product is added to the cart? Because that would mean a customer would have no idea how much they could customize until they've decided to purchase the item which is rather backwards. Link to comment

Guest Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Does anyone know if any of “custom product form fields” allow for using images or is it only text? Select, checkboxes, radio button - can images be used in association? These are not variants but multiple color options the user chooses for the creation of the product; there is no price or inventory control necessary. I'm not about to account for individual balloons.

paul2009 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Squarespace doesn't have a feature for this. All form components are text based: It may be possible to add this capability by writing custom code, but it will probably be unique to your circumstances as it's not something that merchants usually ask for.

Guest Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Thanks for the response. I'm surprised to hear it's not requested more as many balloon decorators would use such a feature. Right now over on WordPress, those that we're able to automate a store, are using acroweb’s add-ons plugin. As you can see from one product type, it's a lot easier to allow someone to pick different numbers (gold, silver, rose gold), foil prints, foil curve colors and balloon colors by choosing images vs text describing All these elements. I suppose it's good to hear code might do the trick. A plugin would be better. Thank You Link to comment
