Moving to Phoenix Cart from Woocommerce - a few questions!
Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2023 4:21 pm
Hello! My forum and documentation search hasn't been successful so I appreciate your assistance.
I've had a Woocommerce "store" for many years and have gotten used to its capabilities. I'm also increasingly frustrated by its bloaty annoying behaviors that make it a terrible experience for my visitors.
The site is a low traffic registration site for an annual benefit event. Its purpose is to register people for the event and I've wrestled Woo into making that happen. It works but it's painful to manage.
I started a Phoenix Cart installation to try for a better experience and it's really been fun so far! However, I need to understand if there is a way to customize multiple attributes for a single item.
For example, when people register, they provide the day they are arriving, if they are staying in various locations, and how many years they have attended. And then I have an input box for their name.
I also have a shirt size and sleeve length I need to get. They don't get to choose a color. We only have one shirt per year/event.
I have to gather each person separately so they get their shirt so I can't let people add 4 registrations to a cart. That leads to on-site nightmares later trying to give out shirts to the right people. OK, I could. But we really need names of folks who attend.
So far, I haven't figured out a best way to replicate what I have built in Woo. I really am enjoying getting to know Phoenix Cart but my time to figure this out is very short.
Thank you for your help and advice!
