I am wanting to create kitted items in my magento store.. the reasoning behind this is because we sell kitted items which are our individual products that are created as CUSTOM KITS WITH DIFFERENT PRICING.. the only problem is I cannot seem to display the options that come with the products? So I want to have my kits (bundled product) display other individual products <-- but also be able to pick the attributes related with these items.. size/height color etc… Is this possible?

I have been trying to find a price comparison plugin for WordPress. Does anybody know of any?
It just needs to be a simple plugin that can compare prices of the same product from different vendors - like a product manager plugin.
So, in frontend, the user can select a product, and then it will show all the vendors and their prices for this product in a list, sorted with the cheapest first.
this is an example of what I mean:

one product, but you can see all the vendors that sells it, and their respective prices.
Thanks in advance.
Will they be sold all from your website or links to other sites and I'm guessing you are entering all the prices manually if so you could try just a price table/comparison plugin
I have an E-Commerce store (Build with Magento). I am stuck in a problem which you guys can help me to figure it out.
In my Magento Store each product has 40 color options and 10 different sizes. This add up to 400 permutations per product. I need to maintain inventory for each permutation and also make the products filterable.
The only solution for this in Magento is Configurable products but you need to add simple product for each permutation. The store has 6000 products meaning 6000*400=2400000 total products. I simply can't add these many products.
What are my other options? I am stuck here for quite some time.
Thanks in advance
One solution could be to create the 6000 simple products with color and size as attributes.
You would then observe on the add to cart event, or create a custom controller action, that would create a new product on the fly and populate the color and size attributes based on post values from the product view page. Then you would have to create a custom flat table to manage the inventory of each product-color-size combination. The custom inventory table can be referenced to set the stock item for the generated product and in the product grid/view to check the availability.
This would create a new product for each purchase, but you may be able to get away with deleting the product after the sale is made. Also you may have to customize the reordering process, if you need that feature as well.
This may not be the most straight forward solution, but it should work, in theory.
We currently are setting up a system with Simple and Grouped products, each of the simple products have names such as strawberry, chocolate.
The grouped product has the full product name. This has been done because I have developed a front end interface to allow for a wholesale style shopping experience,
Now in the backend when looking at the orders it obviously shows the SKU and then the product name which is Strawberry or Chocolate, Is there a way of showing the grouped product also above each of the simple products?
Sorry just to update, I mean this when you are viewing the orders in the backend of Magento,

I have several hundred products in my Magento store, all of which have a very similar set of custom options. I used one product as a template, and copied its custom options to all of the other products so that all of the products currently have the same set of custom options.
I would like to disable or hide certain custom options for some products in my store without deleting the option completely. Right now, I only have the ability to delete an option for a product entirely. For example, some products cannot currently be ordered in different colors, but they might be later; I'd like to be able to disable the color option rather than delete it and re-add the entire list of colors later.
Does anyone have any similar experience who can provide me with some help with this problem? Thanks, I really appreciate the help!
Using custom options for attributes like "color" is not a correct approach for Magento. Magento has special product type - Configurable product for the catalog structure you're trying to achieve.
Here's benefits you'll get from using configurable product instead of custom options:
Automatic stock management. You won't need to enable-disable your custom options as soon as some physical item is out of stock - Magento will do it for you.
You won't have to copy all custom options to a new product you create. The attribute for the Attribute set this product belongs to will automatically be available for new entries.
You will have ability to filter your products by the color attribute on Category page using Layered Navigation.
Here's the guide how to create configurable product from the official Magento wiki.
I am trying to get product variations for each child product on the view.phtml page.
Essentially, the drop-down of options for a configurable product are made of these values. For example - A t-shirt might have 3 sizes: small, medium, and large. The drop-down list that Magento has built-in, shows these 3 options (children products).
I am looking for the code to get these options.
I apologize if this is not very clear, the terminology for the Magento products is confusing. Just let me know if you need more details clarified.
I know its been a while. But I had similar problem while creating a script to export products a long with its children, options and prices.
