Hi, I'm interested in buying your Virtuemart extension, but I have a couple of pre-purchase questions for you.

I need to change the item number based on the color currently selected, can I do this with your plugin?

So example:

Item is "Men's polo shirt"
Color: black (item# 001)
Color: blue (item # 002)
Color: red (item #003)
My first thought would be to have child products set up with different SKU to accomplish this, but your plugin seems more flexible than that.

So ideally, I'd like a single product with multiple color choice / size and a different item number for each color.

Is it possible?

Thank you

Hello you,

Thank you for your interest in Virtuemart Color Swatch extension
To add item # to each color of the item, we will have to write more code into our current plugin.
If you really need this feature, after you buy the plugin, we will customize the plugin to have the feature you request.
You access our helpdesk at http://cloodo.com/ to reach our coders team.

Hi David,

So does this use child products for each color? Or do we have to create a new custom field set for each product?

Basically we have a separate SKU for each color and would like to have this work like a "child cart variant" where selecting the color loads the proper child product, and shows it's respective thumbnails in the slider etc.

So similar to the way the "child cart variant" already works in the dropdown, but with the color swatch picker. That way it actually loads the proper SKU from the child product when it gets swapped out.

Thanks in advance

Hi David,

is it possible use your plugin on one product details more then one time?

For example when I want under product details show some combination of colors.
Choose main color: Black, Blue, Yellow
Choose color of sleeve: Black, White, Green

Thank you.
Best Regards

Hi communion,

I'm developer for cmsmart, you have to create a new custom field set for each product, not child products.

Thank you !
