The WordPress e-commerce solution from getshopped.org already features a powerful “variations” system that allows you to have different versions of products. This allows you to set colours, sizes or other attributes that make sense for your store. It also allows those choices to affect stock availability, pricing and a whole raft of other variables.

For some store owners this is great, but for others it’s all a bit too complicated – all they need to do is let customers choose from the available options and have those choices recorded against the sale.

Welcome to the “WP e-Commerce Simple Product Options” plugin.

The plugin allows you to set up multiple “option sets” and then options within them. Then for each product you create you can choose which option sets and options customers can choose for it, and then have the customers choices recorded against the product sale.
