Packages

What are Packages?

Packages are a way of creating a bundle of products that can be sold as one product.

Installation

Install fieldtype.

Working with the CartThrob Package interface

When creating a new entry in your Packages channel, you will see the CartThrob Package Interface. Below the table which shows which products are part of the package, you will see a filter-able list of entries from your Product channel(s). Click on a product in the list to add it to the package. Once a product is in the package list, you can set defaults for Item Options/Price Modifiers, and set whether or not the user can change this selection.

How Prices Work

If your Packages channel has a price field mapped to it AND there is a value in the price field, that will be used as the package price. If you do not have a price field mapped OR you have left the price field blank, the price will be determined by the sum of all the products in the package.
