WP e-Commerce Simple Product Options

WP e-Commerce extension that allows you to add simple “product options” to products without having to create or manage variations.

1. Upload the plugin to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Create your product options under the “Products” menu
4. Assign product options to your products

The options aren’t displayed on the product page

It’s likely that your theme doesn’t include the hooks you need. You’ll need to ensure that your theme contains the standard WP e-Commerce hook
“wpsc_product_form_fields_begin”. You can see the official WP e-Commerce version here, in wpsc-single_product.php here: https://github.com/wp-e-commerce/WP-e-Commerce/blob/3.8.14/wpsc-theme/wpsc-single_product.php#L77

The options chosen are supposed to be displayed during checkout – where are they?

The current stable release of WP e-Commerce doesn’t have the hooks to allow external plugins to display info like this during checkout. They’re coming in a future version – watch this space

Can I change the price charged according to the option chosen?

No, if you want the product options to affect stock, or pricing then you should use WP e-Commerce’s built in “Variations” functionality

Where can I see which product options have been chosen

Product options are shown against the sale under Store Sales in your WordPress Dashboard menu

Can I order the options as they’re shown to the customer?

Yes, install a taxonomy ordering plugin – I recommend https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/taxonomy-terms-order/ Once you’ve set an order in the admin area, that will be honoured on the front end.
