Customer Zone

This section demonstrates how the features introduced by the Product Options add-on module are reflected in the Customer Zone.

First of all, defining product options affects product pages of those products that have product options defined. A customer is now given a choice of available options for a product (Figure 16). Only after he selects one of the options (or a combination of options if more than one option class is defined for the product) he can add the product to his shopping cart.

If a customer decides to buy different variants of the same product, each option appears separately in the customer's shopping cart (Figure 17). Quantities of different product options can be changed independently.

Figure 16 demonstrates how 'Select Box' and 'Radio Button' option selector types can be used for product option selection. The below figure demonstrates the use of the 'Text Area' selector type (Figure 18).
