Please advise me. I’m already desperate. The client has 6 separate products (wine), which must put together a total of 6 pieces in the basket to make a comprehensive box. At the same time, it has one product – a collection of all 6 wines that make up a total of one box. I cannot set the rule to display the right only for multiples of 6,12,18 pieces and at the same time when the client orders 1 piece of wine collection. Always want to increase the basket 1 package of the whole collection to 6, 12, 18pcs, etc. Perhaps you understand me. I just need only one collection of wines in the basket of 1 piece and at the same time only multiples of 6,12,24 etc.
Hi Radim, just to make sure if I got everything right – you want the shipping cost to be always calculated for each 6-pieces ‘started’, e.g., 5 bottles = $5 (1x 6-pack started), 7 bottles = $10 (2x 6-pack started), 13 bottles = $15 (3x 6-pack started), etc. – is that correct or did you mean something different?
