README

Magento 2 has Configurable Products, but some people prefer simple products for SEO or visibility on the listing pages. This module adds an alternative method to show simple products, but link the simple products to other products, as variants on their own page.

Install

Require this module and enable it:

composer require fruitcake/magento2-simple-configurable-variants
php bin/magento module:enable Fruitcake_SimpleConfigurableVariants
php bin/magento setup:upgrade

Configuration

In the admin config, go to Catalog -> Catalog -> Simple Configurable products and enable the module.

You can choose to hide out-of-stock products and/or unavailable options.

Usage

• Create a configurable product as usual
• Make the simple products visible (either Catalog or Catalog,Search)
• Add one or more simple products to your category, instead of the configurable

Extending

Feel free to override the variants.phtml file, but make sure you check future changes

Todo / future ideas

• Option for dropdown instead of swatches
• Show product images
