Documentation

Dependencies are evaluated when customers attempt to add a product to their cart. If validation fails, the product cannot be added to the cart and a notice is displayed. In order to evaluate “Ownership”-type dependencies, customers are prompted to log in.

Creating Dependencies

To add dependencies to a product:

• Go to the Product Data > Dependencies tab.
• Use the Product Dependencies field to search for and add some products and/or variations.
• Choose a Dependency Type.
• Update to save your changes.

The “Ownership” dependency type is evaluated by checking if the customer has purchased a required product in a previous order. The “Purchase” dependency type requires the customer to have a required product in the cart in order to purchase the dependent one.

Ownership vs Purchase

The plugin allows you to select between 3 different dependency types:

• Ownership: Access is granted only to customers that already own any of the products added to the Product Dependencies field.
• Purchase: The product can be purchased only in combination with any of the items added to the Product Dependencies field. Ownership is not taken into account.
• Either: Access is granted with ownership or purchase of any item added to the Product Dependencies field.
