Individual item or "by the box" ?

Individual item or "by the box" ?

Can someone help me with a problem?

 

I am trying to find a way to sell an item individually or by the box. 

 

For example: "Buy 1 glove for $2.99, or buy box of gloves (25 count) for $29.99". There would be the drop downs for the individual or bulk items to purchase. 

 

I cannot find a way to do that in Magento and I know it's a common situation. 

 

There are a lot of products that can be purchased as a single or in a case. 

 

 

Thanks

Re: Individual item or "by the box" ?

You can set it up by making one product with two options: “1 glove” and “box of 25.” Each option has its own price. Magento lets you do this with custom options or settings.

Re: Individual item or "by the box" ?

This is a common eCommerce setup, and Magento can handle it using either configurable products or custom options. One approach is to create a configurable product with two variations: “Individual” and “Box of 25,” each with its own SKU and price. Alternatively, you can use a single product with custom options to let users choose the format. Extensions like Advanced Product Options can also help manage inventory and pricing.

Re: Individual item or "by the box" ?

That’s a common challenge, especially when dealing with PPE or workwear products. One workaround I’ve seen in Magento is to use configurable products or custom options — basically letting the customer choose the quantity type (single or box) from a dropdown, and assigning different SKUs/prices accordingly. It’s not perfect out of the box, but with some minor tweaks or extensions, it can work smoothly.

We had a similar situation with tig welding gloves — some customers only needed one pair, while others preferred buying in bulk. Offering both options on the same product page really helped improve conversions and reduce confusion.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you’re using any specific Magento version — I might be able to point you toward a plugin or workaround.
