Running ecommerce on 4.7. Apparently we have to use the 'apparel' product type to have subproducts and variations (contrary to the documentation, I did not see a 'custom' in my ecommerce/contrib folder). This works and I was able to generate and select from subproducts - but at no point are the subproducts or the parent apparel product "shippable" - in other words, put in dimensions and select shipping partner.

When I have a cart with only these items, no shipping options are displayed during checkout and no shipping prices are displayed at final billing screen.

How can I have a shippable, tangible product with variations? Is this possible now? This will be a production site so I can't use the alpha EC Live Subs module...

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

I am having the same issue. Another thing is there a way to add automatic charge such as handling that appears at check out?

This appears to be a bug with the subproducts module itself, rather than the apparel module. If you manually edit and save a subproduct, the shipping attributes appear. Of course manually editing each subproduct rather defeats the purpose of the module.

Actually, it looks like kind of a race condition issue. If you submit a new apparel product without first clicking on the "add to store" button under "Product", the subproducts are generated based on the attributes of the parent product, and the parent product gets it's 'shipping_methods' attribute, but in that order.

If you make sure you click on the "add to store" button before submitting the new product you'll be fine... I think.

Title: Apparel products and subproducts don't have shipping attributes » Thanks M.D., but . . .

I have a couple of issues still:

1) Where is the "add to store" button under "Product"
2) Apparel products do not display "availablity estimate" at check out

Still having trouble with enabling 'shipping_method' attributes

It appears that "add to store" only appears for converting other types in product nodes. E.g. see http://drupal.org/node/68292.

Strange, I don't see this bug when I create apparel products. Have you enabled shipping for apparel products ?q=admin/settings/content-types/product/apparel. You need to select the shipping methods you want.

Check the boxes next to the shipping method you want. If there is only one method selected, then it will go straight to the review screen, no choosing.

better description to avoid confusion with product attributes.

I finally got it!

Thanks for your advice on going to ?q=admin/settings/content-types/product/apparel. That was the missing information. I set my prefences and everything is working as it should . . .
