Kit Products | BG_052

Here, we'll take a look at Kit products. Kit Products allow you to give the user the choice of adding multiple products to the basket through a single landing page. This can be useful in allowing the user to select different orderline quantities and can theoretically serve as an alternative to using a category. An example use case would be a product such as a jumper, with the option to select multiple sizes and colours in different quantities, and see the stock of each size/colour at a glance. When you're using a Kit Custom Product, you will be creating one parent product - the Kit Custom Product itself, and one or more child products that are linked to it.

00:00:05:15 - 00:00:05:23
Here.

00:00:05:23 - 00:00:08:08
We'll take a look at kit products.

00:00:08:08 - 00:00:08:18
Kits.

00:00:08:18 - 00:00:12:15
Products allow you to give the user
the choice of adding multiple products

00:00:12:15 - 00:00:16:03
to the basket
through a single landing page.

00:00:16:06 - 00:00:20:14
This can be useful in allowing these
to select different order quantities

00:00:20:21 - 00:00:24:21
and can theoretically serve
as an alternative to using a category.

00:00:24:23 - 00:00:29:11
An example use case would be a product
such as, let's say, an item of clothing

00:00:29:14 - 00:00:34:06
with the option to select multiple sizes
of multiple colors in different quantities

00:00:34:08 - 00:00:39:12
and to see the stock of each size
and color at a glance.

00:00:39:15 - 00:00:41:26
When you're using a kit custom product,

00:00:41:26 - 00:00:47:25
you will be creating one parent product,
which is the kit custom product itself,

00:00:47:27 - 00:00:53:10
and one or more child products
that are linked to it.

00:00:53:12 - 00:00:56:14
Firstly, we must ensure
that the kit product is activated

00:00:56:14 - 00:01:02:23
on our particular storefront,
so we do this via the admin area settings.

00:01:02:26 - 00:01:04:25
So here
we just have a list of product types

00:01:04:25 - 00:01:06:20
that are activated on our storefront.

00:01:06:20 - 00:01:09:29
Make sure that you have Kit selected

00:01:10:02 - 00:01:13:02
and then click on Safe.

00:01:13:06 - 00:01:15:01
Next will create a new product

00:01:15:01 - 00:01:20:05
as normal via
our product management screen.

00:01:20:07 - 00:01:23:05
I just go into that screen
and click Add new upon on the top right

00:01:23:05 - 00:01:30:01
hand side
will add a new name for our product.

00:01:30:03 - 00:01:33:03
I'm just identifying this
as the parent product for our kit.

00:01:33:07 - 00:01:34:18
You can name this whatever you like.

00:01:34:18 - 00:01:39:10
You don't need to have any specific text
within the name of that product,

00:01:39:12 - 00:01:42:06
and then we're just going to go
to this product type dropdown.

00:01:42:06 - 00:01:45:01
Click on custom that releases a

00:01:45:01 - 00:01:49:08
the option for you to choose some of the
or between the custom products.

00:01:49:10 - 00:01:52:06
And in there I can select kit

00:01:52:09 - 00:02:00:10
and then I'll click create.

00:02:00:12 - 00:02:02:12
You will
then be taken to the standard product

00:02:02:12 - 00:02:07:14
detail screen, which you'll be familiar
with from other product types, most likely

00:02:07:17 - 00:02:07:27
in order

00:02:07:27 - 00:02:12:04
to get to these specific settings
to do with our kit product configuration.

00:02:12:06 - 00:02:17:15
We're going to go up to the top right of
the screen and click on kit config.

00:02:17:18 - 00:02:20:11
Now we'll go through all of the options
that are available on here.

00:02:20:11 - 00:02:24:01
So first, want to draw your attention
to the available products list

00:02:24:04 - 00:02:29:12
down on the bottom left.

00:02:29:14 - 00:02:32:22
This allows us to add different products
to put inside the kit.

00:02:32:24 - 00:02:34:07
So you can multi select in here.

00:02:34:07 - 00:02:37:21
So you can select as many
or as few products as you like.

00:02:37:23 - 00:02:40:02
Click on the right arrow

00:02:40:02 - 00:02:43:02
icon to move them
to the assigned products list

00:02:43:06 - 00:02:46:14
And what you'll then see is that once
those products are in the assigned product

00:02:46:14 - 00:02:50:10
list, you'll get additional details
to do with those assigned products.

00:02:50:12 - 00:02:56:05
Further down the screen

00:02:56:08 - 00:02:58:23
now in our
example, we've added a range of products

00:02:58:23 - 00:03:03:02
as child products will assign
a different available option

00:03:03:08 - 00:03:07:12
to each of those child products and review
this on the front end of the storefront

00:03:07:14 - 00:03:10:12
to see how those settings
affect the product,

00:03:10:12 - 00:03:13:17
appearance and interactivity.

00:03:13:20 - 00:03:15:16
So of course, in a realistic scenario,

00:03:15:16 - 00:03:19:14
you can select multiple of these options
per child product.

00:03:19:16 - 00:03:23:20
In this example,
I'm just going to select one for each year

00:03:23:25 - 00:03:27:28
so it can be nice and clear about what
it's doing.

00:03:28:01 - 00:03:31:13
Now, briefly
talking through what these options do.

00:03:31:15 - 00:03:34:10
And then of course, we'll see them
on the frontend in a little moment.

00:03:34:10 - 00:03:37:06
So first of all, we have optional.

00:03:37:06 - 00:03:39:19
So if enabled,
the user will be able to choose

00:03:39:19 - 00:03:40:16
whether or not they want

00:03:40:16 - 00:03:47:12
to add this product to the basket
so it doesn't have to be part of the kit

00:03:47:15 - 00:03:49:02
can change quantity.

00:03:49:02 - 00:03:51:12
So if enabled,
the user will be able to decide

00:03:51:12 - 00:03:57:25
how many of these items
they would like to add to the basket

00:03:57:28 - 00:03:58:22
promo.

00:03:58:22 - 00:04:02:06
If enabled, this product
will always appear before the products

00:04:02:11 - 00:04:04:06
which do not have this enabled.

00:04:04:06 - 00:04:08:03
Regardless of the display order
which has been specified.

00:04:08:06 - 00:04:12:06
If you have multiple promo products,
then they will all load first

00:04:12:12 - 00:04:15:07
and will respect the display order
of other

00:04:15:07 - 00:04:19:10
promo products.

00:04:19:12 - 00:04:20:11
We've got price.

00:04:20:11 - 00:04:25:19
So if enabled, the price of this product
will be shown in a price column.

00:04:25:21 - 00:04:27:24
And you must note
that this column is hidden

00:04:27:24 - 00:04:32:25
if there are no products
with this setting enabled SKU.

00:04:32:26 - 00:04:36:09
So if enabled, the SKU of the product
will be shown in the SKU column.

00:04:36:16 - 00:04:40:11
And again, that column will not be visible
if none of the products have that

00:04:40:11 - 00:04:44:09
option selected.

00:04:44:12 - 00:04:45:25
We have short description.

00:04:45:25 - 00:04:47:05
So if enabled, the short

00:04:47:05 - 00:04:50:29
description of this product will be shown
in the short description column.

00:04:51:01 - 00:04:54:22
And again, that will be hidden,
if not required.

00:04:54:25 - 00:04:56:08
Product Details Link.

00:04:56:08 - 00:05:00:06
So a link to the landing page for
this product will be shown in a separate

00:05:00:06 - 00:05:03:29
link column again,
which will be hidden, if not required.

00:05:04:02 - 00:05:06:07
And then we have stock message.

00:05:06:07 - 00:05:09:24
So if enabled, the stock message for this
product will be shown in the stock

00:05:09:24 - 00:05:10:26
message column.

00:05:10:26 - 00:05:14:07
And again,
that will be hidden, if not required.

00:05:14:09 - 00:05:16:28
Now, I've mentioned already
that we have display order here.

00:05:16:28 - 00:05:18:25
It isn't necessary to do this,
if you don't mind

00:05:18:25 - 00:05:20:08
which order there displayed.

00:05:20:08 - 00:05:23:01
But it works the same as the display order
everywhere else.

00:05:23:01 - 00:05:24:08
You've seen in Infigo.

00:05:24:08 - 00:05:29:24
So the lower the number,
the higher up the list, it will appear.

00:05:29:27 - 00:05:30:09
Once that's

00:05:30:09 - 00:05:34:04
all configured to the top and click,
save or save and continue.

00:05:34:04 - 00:05:36:15
Edit.

00:05:36:15 - 00:05:37:23
Now, before we leave this page,

00:05:37:23 - 00:05:41:01
I want to talk a little bit
about grouping.

00:05:41:03 - 00:05:44:01
It's useful to group order line
so that you can easily

00:05:44:01 - 00:05:48:05
keep track of which products
were added by a particular kit

00:05:48:07 - 00:05:51:26
and what they were added alongside.

00:05:51:28 - 00:05:54:25
You can accomplish this
with the Enable grouping option

00:05:54:25 - 00:06:00:00
is here.

00:06:00:02 - 00:06:02:25
Underneath here you've also got
a couple of additional options.

00:06:02:25 - 00:06:07:17
One is group name available on product
landing page two that allows your users

00:06:07:17 - 00:06:11:07
to give the group a specific name
before adding to the basket.

00:06:11:10 - 00:06:17:16
And then the same with a description.

00:06:17:19 - 00:06:21:14
Let's go ahead and save that.

00:06:21:16 - 00:06:23:08
Now I'm going to actually go
and take a look at this

00:06:23:08 - 00:06:27:18
on the front end of our storefront to see
what these options have actually done.

00:06:27:20 - 00:06:32:09
So we do this by going back
to the main product landing page details.

00:06:32:10 - 00:06:35:18
So if I go back to product config,

00:06:35:21 - 00:06:39:27
then I can click view product page.

00:06:39:29 - 00:06:40:25
Now please do note

00:06:40:25 - 00:06:43:25
at the time of recording,
one or two of those options

00:06:43:27 - 00:06:47:09
don't quite work as expected,
but this will be rectified.

00:06:47:11 - 00:06:49:16
Okay, so what you can see
over on the right hand side

00:06:49:16 - 00:06:53:08
is that all of the child products,
along with their associated options,

00:06:53:08 - 00:06:57:24
will be visible on the landing page
of the specified parent product.

00:06:57:26 - 00:07:00:29
You see that we have the option to search
between different products within a kit

00:07:01:00 - 00:07:04:00
if we have a great number, for example.

00:07:04:05 - 00:07:07:08
And then based on what we've specified,
we'll have different columns

00:07:07:08 - 00:07:08:21
available in this chart.

00:07:08:21 - 00:07:11:29
We'll have the ability to select or select
certain items,

00:07:12:01 - 00:07:14:25
change the quantity on certain items.

00:07:14:25 - 00:07:17:03
And then of course, down at the bottom,
we have the ability

00:07:17:03 - 00:07:30:08
to specify
a group name and group description.

00:07:30:10 - 00:07:30:29
Once you're ready,

00:07:30:29 - 00:07:35:05
go ahead and add this to basket.

00:07:35:07 - 00:07:38:18
With a grouping applied,
all of the child products will be grouped

00:07:38:18 - 00:07:43:05
underneath an entry of the parent product
within our basket.

00:07:43:07 - 00:07:45:22
If we want to see more details
on what was included

00:07:45:22 - 00:07:48:12
under this parent product
as part of this kit,

00:07:48:12 - 00:07:51:01
we can go ahead and click expand.

00:07:51:01 - 00:07:53:29
You also note on the parent level
that we've got the name

00:07:53:29 - 00:07:57:13
and description of the group
as well as a total of the items

00:07:57:13 - 00:08:01:16
contained within it.

00:08:01:19 - 00:08:04:19
now we'll take a look
at how this waste order

00:08:04:25 - 00:08:09:15
appears to both the customers on their
My Orders page and to administrators

00:08:09:15 - 00:08:14:26
viewing shared print operations.

00:08:14:28 - 00:08:16:02
That order has been placed.

00:08:16:02 - 00:08:20:02
I'm now going to go as my customer to my
my orders page.

00:08:20:02 - 00:08:22:29
So this is the page
that the customer will be able to see

00:08:22:29 - 00:08:28:06
and then expand that particular order.

00:08:28:08 - 00:08:30:28
So this is a view seen in the my order
screen.

00:08:30:28 - 00:08:37:06
Each child is listed independently

00:08:37:08 - 00:08:38:19
on the administrator side.

00:08:38:19 - 00:08:43:20
Each of the child products is listed as
a separate job in shared print operations.
