Grouping several products into 1 "add to cart" button

I'm selling audio tracks that are broken up into 5 parts. I'd like to offer the user a 1 click "add to cart" ability to add all 5 items to the cart at once. I realize I can also create another product that has all 5 tracks as one product but a single product doesn't have the ability to have multiple downloads. Also, 1 zip file containing the 5 tracks would be too big for the users to download successfully.

Summary: Need to group multiple products together to allow 1 click add to cart while still allowing each product to be added individually.

Thanks for the support.

Hi Michael,

Did you try with cross sell products?
They are not exactly what you want but can help you to some extent.

He wants to sell bundles of several products in shop - so it would be necessary to group existing products and give these products a special price, if they are ordered at the same time ... unfortunately, I don't have a solution to this problem, but it would be an interesting feature, regarding online marketing issues.

Thanks, cross-sell products feature might help increase sales a bit, I'll try it. Does your suggestion mean the feature I'm looking for doesn't exist?

The best example is different tracks of a music record being sold individually and allowing them to all be added to the cart at once. If I were to create a special product of all the tracks as one I'd have to zip the mp3 files and that would cause some confusion on the users part. Specifically, in my case 1 zip file that contains all the tracks would be so large it wouldn't be possible for most users to download it.

Optionally, the ability to have an item with multiple files to download would solve this problem too.

I take it that you are already using "Product Variants". I find that these are a nice way to show products that belong together. This in combination with Display.Products.DisplayCartAfterAddingProduct = False in Config -> All Settings and matching "photos" for each mp3 makes it easy to "buy all 5" without any programming effort.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the help!  This forum is great. :)

I am hoping there is some easier/updated solution to the "Add Multiple Items to Cart" issue.

Essentially, a client would like a "Add All Items to Cart" button.  

Is this possible without coding?

If not, is there a workaround?  I thought of adding another "product" that is "all products", but this obvioulsy has some downsides (like duplication work in updating prices, products etc.)

Thanks!

NOP neophyte here...

Agreed.  This is a significant limitation to NOP.  For anyone looking to really boost some sales, adding multiple products to the cart in a single action is a huge advantage to increase your cart size.  Another system that I use has 2 classifications:  bundles and packages.  

BUNDLE:  A bundle is a simple artificial sku that is translated into individual skus when added into cart.  there is not any special pricing nor requirement that the user buy all the skus.  the user is free to remove individual skus from the cart as he wishes.  very similar to product variant, but a different relationship i believe.  
--Can product variant be configured to handle something like this?
--Can the 'addtocart' process multiple sku's at once? (ie feed 5 skus to a single addtocart function)

PACKAGE:  A package is something that the user MUST buy all items and typically has special pricing associated.  the package could be predefined by the administrator or dynamically defined by the user.  "Pick 5 items for X price".  the pricing function makes this a more complex issue than bundles.
--Any ideas on how to resolve within the current NOP system?

THANKS!

Hello All,

Just wanted to second the last post and say that:

A Bundle and/or Package option would be AWESOME!  I will pray hard to the programmer gods for these options ...

Thanks!
