Hello,

I'm trying to understand when a unit selector will be shown in Swift_ProductAddToCart

  • I have a product, with a base unit (each) and a additional unit (box) of 10 bas units
  • For each of these units I have setup there to be a stock level > 0
  • in Swift_ProductAddToCart "Show unit selector" is checked

Couple of questions:

  • How do I get the UnitOptions for the product to be > 0? I can see that @product.UnitOptions.Count is 0, so with this line the selector will not show: if (unitsSelector && product.UnitOptions.Count > 0) {
  • What dis this variable do (bit confused because it seems to hav options "disabled" and "hide" : string whenVariantsExist = Model.Item.GetRawValueString("WhenVariantsExist", "hide");

It reads a bit like units are only available if there are no variants, but that would seem strange to me.

Thanks!

Justin

Hi Justin

I may be able to answer some of your questions.

  • For the unit options to appear in the frontend, you need to configure a product with units correctly: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/ecommerce/product-catalog/product-units
  • If you have a Swift demo with products, you can take a look at product number 2134002640
  • And yes, the unit selector should also be enabled on the Swift_ProductAddToCart 
  • The variable "WhenVariantsExist" simply tells what should happen to the add to cart button, if the product has variants, and you need to make a variant selection before you can add to cart

Maybe this forum thread may be a help to you: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/forum/ecommerce-standard-features/ecommerce-standard-features/variants-and-units

 

Best regards

Hi Karsten,

Is my understanding correct that the combination of Variant and Units is currently not supported in Swift? 

This is a core feature for our customer. We thought that it was included in Swift.

 Can you help us on how to make it happen.
