Magento 2 Dependent Custom Options

Let’s imagine you sell T-shirts having different sizes and correlative colors like this: size S - Pink, Violet, Black; size M - Red, Black, White

It’s hard for you to find the optimized setup options for this product. You can’t allow customers to select random these options because there are unavailable combinations. There is a smart way to solve this problem by make the appearance of product colors dependent on the chosen size. For example, only when the customer chooses size S, the options of color: Pink, Violet and Black will be enabled. Magento 2 Dependent Custom Options extension exactly provides you this feature within a few configurations.

By default Magento 2, customizable options are identified by the title and SKU. This Magento 2 Dependent Custom Options extension makes it easier by adding a unique ID to every option and option value. You can easily take actions with all custom options with the IDs.

This module creates a field called “Dependent Options’ IDs” along with each option value. To make some options depending on an option value, you simply need to enter their IDs to the “Dependent Options’ IDs” field. Then, you can call the dependent options children options and the depended options as parent options.

Please note that the parent options must be in select option types (Drop-down, Radio Buttons, Checkbox, Multiple Select), and the children options can be custom options and custom options values in any input types.

Because children options are dependent on parent option values, they are available for selection only when their parent options are picked. However, the display of children options can’t be based on parent option. This extension provides you some configuration to set the condition for children options display.

You can set:

+ The children options aren't displayed unless the parent option is selected

The children options are displayed but can't be selected unless the parent option is chosen:

Moreover, in case a child option is dependent on multiple parent options, you can set it will be enabled when at least one parent option is selected or when all parent options are picked.

This Magento 2 extension is the essential tool in the Custom Options improvement suit. It’s completely compatible with other custom options extensions at BSSCommerce:
