Hi, I need to configure my products so it could be packed into boxes; we
sell boxes of flowers, but the box could contain several different products:
roses, pomps, carnation, sunflower; the quantities may vary very much for
each situation:  we could sell a box with 10 roses, 7 carnations and 3
sunflower. And sell another box with 5 roses, 10 carnations and 5
sunflowers. Both boxes represent a box called “box of 20 assorted”. The
difference is the amounts of the varieties. We could have thousand of
combinations. I’m wondering about the best way to achieve this.

 

Thanks in advance.

The options I've seen used for this include customizing the code for  
configurable products (to add extra constraints) or to use the cart  
item groups with custom product pages and cart checking events (ie  
intercept the additem (add to cart) event).
