Configuration Settings for Substitute Products

General Settings

  • Enabled - Select “Yes” or “No” to enable or disable the module.

Assigning Substitute Products

The substitute product should have exactly same configurations as the main product only the SKU will be different. You can create a duplicate product of the main product while creating a new substitute product.

Add Substitute Products

Go to Admin>Catalog>Products, navigate to your product from the list and click on Edit from the action column. Scroll down to find the Subsitute Products tab. Please refer to the image below:-

Click on Enabled to enable the substitute products for this main product. Add the SKU of the product that you want to add as a substitute of this product and add the priority. In case of multiple substitute products you can set the priortiy highest being 0 so that whenever products are out of stock, upon order placement the SKU will be chosen based on the priority set.

Also, as long as the substitute products attached to the main product are not out of stock the main product on the frontend will never show out of stock.

You can add substitute products for several products such as Simple, Configurable, Bundled etc.

Order Placed With Subsitute Products

Suppose our main product is out of stock then when a customer visits the storefront they will always see the product available as long as the substiute product assigned is in stock. Orders placed with the main product will be fullfilled with the subsitute product. Place an order with the main product then go to Admin>Sales>Orders, and select your order. We can see the substitute product SKU in the order detail since main product is out of stock.

Front-End View

We place the order with the main product having sku SubstitutetestMain but since this product is out of stock the order should be fullfilled with the substitute product assigned. Now upon placing the order go to My Account>My Orders and view the order, you will be able to see that the order is placed with the substiute product.
