Shopping Cart – How to Show Same Product Multiple Times

cart

I don't want to set a min qty, customers should be able to buy many of the same product. But I would like to make it explicitly clear they have added more than qty=1 to their cart.

I've unsuccessfully dug around into enough nooks of the Mage core to believe this is anything trivial. But maybe it is? Anyone have an idea how I might approach this..

Thanks, Kev

You can use custom options for this.

Steps:

  1. Log into admin panel and go to Catalog > Manage Products
  2. Select the product which you want to show multiple times in the cart
  3. In the left panel select Custom Options tab
  4. Add a custom option

e.g.

enter image description here

  1. Now the product detail page will be as follows. enter image description here

  2. If you add the same product with different values for this custom field, each product will be added to the cart as a new entry. See the image below. enter image description here

Note: To add the same product as a new entry to the cart, at least one single difference should be among those products. (Otherwise quote always check the newly added product with the parent product.) So by using custom options you can achieve this.
