Documentation
Dependencies are evaluated when customers attempt to add a product to their cart. If validation fails, the product cannot be added to the cart and a notice is displayed. In order to evaluate “Ownership”-type dependencies, customers are prompted to log in.
Creating Dependencies
To add dependencies to a product:
- Go to the Product Data > Dependencies tab.
- Use the Product Dependencies field to search for and add some products and/or variations.
- Choose a Dependency Type.
- Update to save your changes.
The “Ownership” dependency type is evaluated by checking if the customer has purchased a required product in a previous order. The “Purchase” dependency type requires the customer to have a required product in the cart in order to purchase the dependent one.
Ownership vs Purchase
The plugin allows you to select between 3 different dependency types:
- Ownership: Access is granted only to customers that already own any of the products added to the Product Dependencies field.
- Purchase: The product can be purchased only in combination with any of the items added to the Product Dependencies field. Ownership is not taken into account.
- Either: Access is granted with ownership or purchase of any item added to the Product Dependencies field.
