CoCart

Another great WooCommerce extension now supports CoCart. It’s called Mix and Match Products and it’s also developed by Kathy Darling. I was happy to help with it’s development and guide Kathy adding support for the REST API.

If your selling cases of wine, dozen donuts, fruit baskets or even a six-pack of T-shirts. Mix and Match is ideal for offering similar products in bulk containers. Perfect for encouraging customers to buy in bulk without forcing them to buy items that don’t interest them.

Now you can support these bulk product types in your headless store.

View the CoCart documentation to see how you can add a Mix and Match Product to the cart from your customers selection.

I’ve developed a WooCommerce extension

That’s great. Always looking to support more WooCommerce extensions. If your extension provides a new product type or extends with new product features that requires support in CoCart, I look forward to helping you out.

A boilerplate is available to give you a head start.

With the improved support for handling products in CoCart, it is easier for developers to add support in their WooCommerce extensions that provide extra product data or options for customers.

With that I am happy to announce that a popular WooCommerce extension called Name Your Price developed by Kathy Darling has become the first official extension to integrate support for CoCart within their plugin as of v3.1.0

This is a great first step in providing CoCart developers the same frontend options via the REST API and it works as advertised.

All that was required was some tweaking to the method used for handling error responses and validating the customers requested price.

I won’t say it was an easy process but one I was able to help develop with the plugin creator.

Documentation provides details on how to accept customers requested price.

I have created a page that lists supported WooCommerce extensions.

More extensions are being evaluated and are in development to add support. They will either be in future updates of CoCart Pro or provided within the extensions themselves.

If you have a WooCommerce extension that provides new product features that requires support in CoCart, I look forward to helping you out.

A boilerplate is available to give you a head start.

I look forward to sharing more extensions supporting CoCart in the future.
