Hunting for better configurator....
Hi all,
So I am on the hunt for a better configurator. After spending many, many hours working to try to get the one that comes with X-Cart (I'm running 4.4.2 right now, working to get onto 4.4.5), I've reached the point where I'm realizing it just doesn't do what I want to do. We are a computer company looking to allow customers to custom-configure servers on the site. If you've ever ordered a computer from Dell, you get the gist of what we need. But it needs to be easy to use, both from an admin side and from a customer side. I happen to really like the configurator this site uses (and yes, I know it is not running X-Cart, but a competitor's cart software): http://www.mosaicom.co.uk/micro-tower-atom?options=cart Anyone know of a 3rd party solution that exists, or willing to give me a cost for developing? TIA, -Mark

That site appears to use normal options all on one page, rather than a configurator, which you could do in X-Cart.

Re: Hunting for better configurator....
Yes, you are correct. I guess I should do a better job of describing what exactly I'm looking for:
I would think there would be a market for such an add-on. If I am off-base with regards to the X-Configurator, please let me know - maybe I've just grossly misunderstood how it is utilized.

Re: Hunting for better configurator....
Configurator does most of what you describe in the first point. You might want to take another look at the manual. I'm not clear on the second point as you can search for products by sku but building configurable products is very complicated and takes a while to wrap your head around.
Configurator is very complex already and what you are describing takes it to another level. A super custom configurator that includes keeping the customer all on one page. I don't know of an add-on that does this so you'll most likely need to have it custom-built. We have customized Configurator so the products appear on the step page but it was very time consuming to just do that. In your case it might be best to start from scratch using Configurator as a model. I would start very simple then add more capabilities later. |
