WooCommerce - Add to Cart Configuration Methods
WooCommerce - Add to Cart Configuration Methods
Overview
Some products are simple — a customer picks some options, one item goes in the cart. But Mimeeq also supports more complex setups: a single configuration that should become several cart items, or a "bundle" made up of multiple parts sold together. This article explains how that's set up and what actually happens when it reaches WooCommerce.
Where this gets configured: the detailed bundle rules (what counts as a "component," how pricing splits, which WooCommerce products or variants map to which part) are set up in your Mimeeq account, not in WordPress. WordPress only needs one thing turned on to support any of it — see below.
Required first step: turn on "Enable advanced add-to-cart functionality for configured products" under WP Admin → Mimeeq → Extension Settings. Without this, only simple single-product configurations work.
Two Kinds of Products, Two Kinds of Bundling
Standard (Single) Products
If a bundle needs to be built out of otherwise-separate WooCommerce products, there are two ways Mimeeq can build it:
Method | What happens |
|---|---|
Cart Bundle | The bundle is put together on the fly, right when the customer adds it to the cart — no extra WooCommerce products are created ahead of time |
Admin Bundle | A bundle product is created in WooCommerce ahead of time |
Modular Products
Modular products are made of interchangeable parts (think: a sofa where the customer picks the frame, then the cushions, then the legs, each as its own "element"). Mimeeq supports four different ways to turn that into WooCommerce cart items:
Method | What the customer's cart ends up with |
|---|---|
Custom Product | One single product, with all the chosen elements recorded as details on that one line |
WC All Elements as Single Items | Every element becomes its own separate line in the cart |
WC Single Bundle With All Elements | All the elements are grouped together as one bundle line |
WC Custom Defined Logic | A custom mix of the above, following rules you define in your Mimeeq account |
Note: only elements the customer actually sees on the finish screen are included. Anything marked "Hide on Finish Screen" (in Mimeeq) is left out.
Where the Detailed Rules Live
All of the following is configured in your Mimeeq account (not in WordPress):
- Open the product in your Mimeeq account
- Go to its Pricing and Codes tab
- Find Add to Cart Configuration
- Choose the bundling method and fill in its details (component names, prices, quantities, which existing WooCommerce product or variant each part maps to, and so on)
For the exact fields and options available on this screen, refer to Mimeeq's own help documentation — it may change independently of this WordPress plugin. As a rough guide, you'll typically be naming the bundle, deciding how its price is calculated (per-item Mimeeq pricing, or based on the WooCommerce product/variant price), and — for Cart/Admin Bundles — mapping each component to a WooCommerce product, variant, or a brand-new custom product created on the spot.
