Multi-version product ordering with Multipart (Upload) products | BG_050
In this tutorial, we'll learn how to utilise functionality within Infigo allowing for multiple versions of the same Multipart type product to be created and placed into the basket at once.
In the world of labels, it's common for customers to need multiple versions of the same label, such as different designs for various types of wine.
Currently, in Infigo, you can achieve this by adding individual jobs to the basket for each label version. However, this process can be tedious when dealing with numerous labels.
Moreover, it may end up costing the customer more. For instance, if you're ordering 1000 labels, the unit cost is often lower than ordering 250 labels. So, if you want 250 labels for four different wine types, it's more cost-effective to order 1000 labels and specify the different versions rather than ordering four sets of 250 labels individually. This approach not only streamlines the ordering process but also offers potential cost savings for our customers.
Here, we'll see how to enable and utilise this functionality.
