Kitero Product Configurator adds a Composite product type to WooCommerce. You define the choices, called components, and list the products a shopper can pick for each one. The shopper builds their product on the product page and the total updates as they choose.
A gift hamper, a build your own skincare routine, a made to order desk setup and a spare parts kit are all the same idea: a parent product made of choices, priced from what the customer selected.
What you can do
- Add as many components as a product needs, with no limits of any kind.
- Assign any number of simple products or variations to each component.
- Search products by name or by SKU, including variation SKUs.
- Show options as a thumbnail grid, larger cards, a radio list or a dropdown. The style is set per component.
- Mark a component required or optional. Optional choices can be cleared by clicking the selected option again.
- Set a minimum and maximum quantity per component, and let the shopper adjust it with plus and minus buttons.
- Set a minimum and maximum number of items for the whole kit, for example a box of six, checked on the product page and again in the cart.
- Change the wording of the Add to cart button and the catalog Configure button.
- Choose between an all visible layout and an accordion layout.
- Show a price range, a starting price, or no price at all in the catalog.
- Add to the cart without a page reload, so mini cart and side cart panels open straight away.
- Five ready made kit templates that build the components in one click: custom PC, gift hamper, meal kit, skincare routine and coffee kit.
- A short setup screen that sets the defaults for every composite product you build.
- Duplicate a composite product and its components come along, ready to edit as a new draft.
- Every choice is written to the cart, the checkout, the order and the confirmation email automatically.
- An Edit link on each kit in the cart reopens the product page with the choices filled in, and Order again rebuilds the kit from a past order.
- Correct tax whichever way your shop enters and shows prices: the kit line is taxed once, with the composite product's own tax class.
- Give the kit its own SKU, stock, Sold individually setting, or mark it Virtual.
Stock is handled properly
Stock lives on the products the shopper picks. When an order reduces stock, the stock of each chosen item is reduced by its quantity times the number of kits, and an order note records the change. Cancelling the order puts it back, and so does a refund with Restock refunded items ticked. The cart adds up every kit and every plain product before checkout, in the classic and the block cart, so two kits can never oversell the same item. A kit whose required component has nothing left in stock shows as out of stock.
Built in documentation
Every option in the plugin is explained inside the dashboard, under Kitero, Documentation. There is no need to leave your site to look up what a setting does.
