How to Configure Product Custom Options
Magento 2 supports the feature of adding product options, making it easy for store owners to incorporate custom options for their products. By offering various product choices, you can significantly enhance your eCommerce capabilities and increase the likelihood of customers exploring all your offerings.
What are custom product options used for?
By adding custom options to a product in Magento 2, you allow customers to choose options tailored to their specific needs instead of being limited to standard product attributes.
This feature enables you to create a range of customizable product options, such as custom cart price rules and dynamic category rules. If your goal is to provide a versatile shopping experience, implementing custom product options is one of the most effective strategies to achieve that.
Get Product Custom Options Programmatically in Magento 2
- Step 1: Add object manager
- Step 2: Generate the product
- Step 3: Custom options
- Step 4: Configurable options
- Step 5: Grouped children
- Step 6: Bundle selection
Step 1: Create an object manager
$_objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
Step 2: Generate the product
Generate the product that needs to be assigned custom options.
$product = $_objectManager->get('\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product')->load($id);
Step 3: Custom options
$customOptions = $_objectManager->get('Magento\Catalog\Model\Product\Option')->getProductOptionCollection($product);
Step 4: Configurable Options
$productTypeInstance = $_objectManager->get('Magento\ConfigurableProduct\Model\Product\Type\Configurable'); $productAttributeOptions = $productTypeInstance->getConfigurableAttributesAsArray($product);
Step 5: Grouped Childs
$typeInstance = $_objectManager->get('Magento\GroupedProduct\Model\Product\Type\Grouped'); $childs = $typeInstance->getAssociatedProducts($product);
Step 6: Bundle selection
$store_id = $_storeManager->getStore()->getId(); $options = $_objectManager->get('Magento\Bundle\Model\Option') ->getResourceCollection() ->setProductIdFilter($product->getId()) ->setPositionOrder(); $options->joinValues($store_id); $typeInstance = $_objectManager->get('Magento\Bundle\Model\Product\Type'); $selections = $typeInstance->getSelectionsCollection($typeInstance->getOptionsIds($product), $product);
When completing all, this means the product options are active on your Magento 2 store.
