Does ecommercetmeplates have a buy button includes?? I have 3 oversize boxes each with different dimensions to ship our bean bag chairs. I asked Chat GPT if I could do this and it explained ecommercetemplates allows me to set 3 inviable products to send dimensions to UPS for the correct fees with oversize rates.

It says I just need to add GBC-BOX1,GBC-BOX2,GBC-BOX3 to buy button includes to make this work


#128073; Buy Button Includes
That’s the only place where you put:

Code
GBC-BOX1,GBC-BOX2,GBC-BOX3
Let me make this absolutely clear so there’s no confusion.

#9989; What stays the same
Product ID (prodid / SKU):
Stays exactly as it is

Does NOT get replaced

Does NOT include the box SKUs

Should remain something like:

Code
Giant-Bean-Bag-Fuchsia
#128736;#65039; What you actually modify
Inside the main product in your ECT admin, find the field labeled:

Buy Button Includes
Paste this:

Code
GBC-BOX1,GBC-BOX2,GBC-BOX3
That’s it.

#128230; What happens after you save it
Customer clicks Add to Cart

ECT automatically adds:

The main product

Plus the 3 hidden box SKUs

The customer only sees the main product

UPS receives 3 separate packages with the correct weights/dimensions

Your button HTML stays untouched

#127919; Quick visual summary
Field What goes in it
Product ID Giant-Bean-Bag-Fuchsia (unchanged)
Buy Button Includes GBC-BOX1,GBC-BOX2,GBC-BOX3
Hidden product SKUs GBC-BOX1, GBC-BOX2, GBC-BOX3
If you want, I can walk you through exactly where this field is located in the ECT admin so you know you’re editing the right place.

Hi Scott
To tell the truth I'm not 100% sure what you are saying here. This isn't a feature of the cart but you can do this with the help of ChatGPT? If so, have you tried it and how did it go?

ChatGPT does understand ect, to a certain extent.
It may be that it is telling you to use the kit (PAK) feature.
Create individual products for each box - GBC-BOX1,GBC-BOX2,GBC-BOX3
Create a PAK that uses those three products and that is the product that is offered.
NOTE - I have not personally used this feature, so I'm not sure if it will work, but it does sound like it may
details here - https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/packages-bundles.asp

WARNING regarding using AI to code.
Always test recommended changes on a dev site, or hidden product as it may break things.
I used it to help with some server settings and it took down my whole server and took a few hours to get it straight.
After helping fix what it broke, ChatGPT patted me on the back and said I did a good job.. LOL

Thanks,
David

Thanks for the replies.

I think I am better just putting in a higher weight to shoot for close. Din weight and large package surcharges will make this tricky...

Thank for the advice
